Abortion pill provider advertises “complete solution for an unneeded child”

A provider of ‘DIY’ abortion pills has been advertising an ‘abortion pill kit’, which it markets as “a complete solution for an unneeded child”.

‘DIY’ abortions, in which abortion pills are sent through the post and taken without medical supervision, have been legal in Britain since 2020. Its legal status in the US, however, varies from state to state. According to the New York Times, 25 states and Washington DC permit ‘DIY’ abortions.

Now, a number of companies are providing the pills online.

One of these online companies, which we have chosen not to link to or name so as not to advertise their services on our website, offers an abortion pill pack for $199 (£160), which it markets as “a complete solution for an unneeded child”.

The New York Times quotes a user who said “it was one of the cheaper options”.

The website also offers a “medical termination of pregnancy” (MTP) kit for $159.50, which includes the drugs used for a ‘DIY’ abortion: mifepristone and misoprostol. The website describes these pills incorrectly as a contraceptive, adding that the MTP kit is “such [a] wonderful solution to terminate [an] unplanned pregnancy”.

In addition to using a small depiction of a baby developing in the womb, the website makes the claim that “the fetus does not experience any pain till the 30 weeks of pregnancy and only after 30 weeks it starts sensing as the sensory organs start to grow.” No references are provided for this claim.

While the question of when an unborn baby begins to experience pain is a matter of dispute, in the UK, it is standard NHS practice to give painkillers to unborn babies receiving surgery in the womb for spina bifida. This surgery takes place between 20 and 26 weeks gestation and pain relief is provided.

Last year, the UK’s All-Party Parliamentary Pro-Life Group (APPPG) commissioned and released a report on fetal sentience and pain summarising the extensive developments in medical science and academic research that point to the same conclusion: it is likely babies in the womb can feel pain, possibly from as early as 12 weeks gestation, with some evidence suggesting even earlier.

Right To Life UK spokesperson Catherine Robinson said “These ‘DIY’ abortion pill websites are extremely suspicious and clearly created for the purpose of exploiting vulnerable women. All abortion is a scandal but abortion completely outside of a clinical setting displays a kind of callousness about the safety of women especially in regard to their being coerced into having abortions they clearly do not wish to have.”

“We are used to seeing large abortion providers in the UK and the US, who have large communications teams, doing everything they can to hide the reality of the abortion services they provide. These smaller online abortion pill providers appear to be less worried about showing the reality of abortion in the deeply disturbing wording they use to describe the products they sell.”

”We have chosen not to link to or name these providers so as not to advertise their services on our website. Unfortunately, the New York Times has not taken these steps and mentions this website in a recent article that provides case studies on how to use th abortion pill provider website and others to circumvent some state-level abortion legislation.”

Only hours left of the appeal to stop three major anti-life threats.

Only hours left of the appeal to stop three major anti-life threats.

Dear reader,

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of people like you across the UK, the McArthur assisted suicide Bill in Scotland was defeated in March by 69 votes to 57.

Then, in April, the Leadbeater assisted suicide Bill fell in the House of Lords.

Many commentators thought both Bills would become law.

If that had happened, governments in England, Scotland and Wales would now be preparing to roll out assisted suicide services.

Over the coming decades, this would have led to the deaths of many thousands of vulnerable people.

But that is not what happened.

Because supporters like you acted, those Bills were stopped.

Because of you, many vulnerable lives have been saved.

These were two very significant victories. But sadly, they are not the last battles we face this year.

The new Parliamentary session began on Wednesday. We now face three major threats.

  1. Attempts to bring back the Leadbeater assisted suicide Bill and bypass the House of Lords

    The assisted suicide lobby, led by Dignity in Dying, a multi-million-pound pressure group, has made it clear that it is going to attempt to bring back the Leadbeater assisted suicide Bill in the next parliamentary session.

    It then plans to use the Parliament Acts to bypass the House of Lords and force the Bill into law.

  2. Labour Government plans for a major expansion of abortion provision, including financial incentives for ‘lunch-hour’ abortions

    Under these plans, the Government would financially incentivise major abortion providers, BPAS and MSI Reproductive Choices, to provide ‘lunch-hour’ or ‘same-day’ abortions.

    ‘Lunch-hour’ abortion services are walk-in abortion services designed to fit into a woman’s lunch hour.

    Women facing an unplanned pregnancy need time, care and support, not a system that gives abortion clinics a financial incentive to rush them through consultations, scans and abortions on the same day.

    If these plans go ahead, many more lives are likely to be ended by abortion here in the UK.

  3. Extreme abortion up to birth proposals in Scotland

    In Scotland, plans are moving forward to introduce an extreme abortion up to birth law. This would go far beyond the abortion law change recently backed by the Lords for England and Wales.

    A review of abortion law in Scotland, commissioned by Humza Yousaf when he was Scottish First Minister, recommended that the Scottish Government scrap the current 24-week time limit – and abortion be available on social grounds, including for sex-selective purposes, right up to birth.

    The final plans are expected to be brought forward as a Government Bill in the new Scottish Parliament, which began on Thursday.

If these three major threats succeed, thousands of vulnerable lives will be lost.

We cannot allow this to happen.

We can only defeat these three major threats with your help.

We ran our biggest campaigns ever to help defeat the assisted suicide Bills at Westminster and in Scotland.

That work has made a serious dent in our limited resources.

To cover this gap and ensure we can effectively defeat these three major threats in the coming months, we are aiming to raise at least £199,250 by midnight this Sunday (17 May 2026).

We are, therefore, appealing to you to please give as generously as you can.

Every donation, large or small, will make a crucial difference in saving the lives of the unborn and many others. Plus, if you are a UK taxpayer, £1 becomes £1.25 with Gift Aid at no extra cost to you.

By stopping these threats, YOU can save lives during this new Parliamentary session.

Will you donate now to help protect vulnerable lives from these three major threats?
