1. "A doctor's prescription is needed to get Mifepristone, it's available in pharmacies. Accessing Misoprostol shouldn't be too difficult, it can be acquired with the family doctor or a midwife, unless he or she is not skilled on the subject or against abortion. Then, the PMI centers (Mother and Child Protective centers) can deliver them for free after a consultation."
