New Ipas guide for misoprostol

It didn’t take long for the international abortion provider, Ipas, to use WHO’s “approval” of misoprostol to lend legitimacy to its work. (WHO’s recent approval was for preventing post-partum hemmorhaging and not abortion.)

This new “toolkit” proposes misoprostol as an alternative to manual vacuum aspirators (MVAs) for “post-abortion” care. Ipas boasts the fact that they use MVAs for abortion all over the world in countries where it is illegal. It is unreasonable to assume that the alternative of misoprostol is not also for use for abortion.

References to the safety of its use for “post-abortion” care are from Gynuity, which promotes misoprostol for use in self-induced abortions.
