Abortion in special situations. Manual for companions

The World Health Organization (WHO) and scientific evidence confirm that medical abortion is safe, even when it is self-managed or performed at home before the 13th week of gestation (12 weeks and 6 days). Thus, abortion can be performed safely and effectively as long as there is access to accurate information, quality-assured medications and, if necessary, access to health services.
