Anarchist collective is instructing abortion seekers on how to make misoprostol and mifepristone, two of the most common drugs used to induce abortions.
In the video, Laufer says that misoprostol is 85 percent effective at inducing abortions and explains that DIY pills can be made by sourcing the active ingredient from veterinary medicine, due to the drug being used to treat ulcers in horses.
Neither the safety nor the efficacy of the DIY pills is clear. Even legitimately manufactured versions of the drugs come with potential side effects that can include excessive bleeding and require emergency medical attention.published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, pharmaceutical chemist Derek Lowe discussed an earlierabout Four Vinegar Thieves Collective and called its efforts to teach DIY drug manufacturing"largely bulls**t.
Laufer notes in the DIY abortion pills video that there"are a lot of established organizations that do really good work on helping with getting you an abortion if you need one," adding that using an established and legal source was"probably your best option." When acquired from legitimate sources, misoprostol is usually taken in combination with mifepristone—a drug that is harder to manufacture at home due to greater difficulty in sourcing its active ingredient. Laufer said that effectiveness rose to 95 percent when the two drugs were used together.
