What is abortion self-care?

Abortion self-care is the process of taking pills to end a pregnancy without direct supervision of a health-care provider. This is also commonly referred to as self-managed abortion. An ‘abortion with pills’ is also referred to as a medication abortion. A medication abortion can be done as a ‘self-managed abortion’ or with the support of a health-care provider, depending on a woman’s preference.
