Access to safe abortion services is crucial for all women. Unfortunately, South Africa is still plagued by illegal operators who sell unsafe abortion pills to women on the streets, evidenced by the numerous abortion posters that clutter our neighbourhoods.
To combat this issue, Marie Stopes South Africa has taken a bold step by making abortion pills available to women for FREE. They offer the abortion pills at no cost, along with a paid-for professional nurse consultation and ultrasound, free pain medication, and essential post-abortion aftercare. In the rare instance where the abortion pills process fails, Marie Stopes will provide the necessary additional services for free.
Protect Your Health and Safety: Reject Illegal Abortion Pills
Illegal street vendors often sell the abortion pill at exorbitant prices to women seeking to terminate unplanned pregnancies. However, obtaining medication from unqualified street vendors without proper consultation and aftercare can lead to serious health complications. Marie Stopes strongly advise against purchasing abortion pills from illegal providers due to safety concerns, lack of quality control, and legal issues. These illegal providers operate in unregulated conditions and are unqualified to handle complications and severe health risks, including:
- The abortion pills not effectively terminating the pregnancy;
- Retained pregnancy tissue in the uterus;
- Blood clots in the uterus;
- Excessive or prolonged bleeding;
- Serious infection.

To combat the dangers posed by illegal abortion providers, Marie Stopes South Africa is offering free abortion pills at their Ghandi Square, East London, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, and Durban clinics. This initiative aims to provide women with a guaranteed safe abortion service at an affordable price, ensuring they receive care from qualified nurses who provide ultrasounds, pain management, and post-abortion care.
