Unsafe Abortion: the illegal drugs on the Internet extends

By Lucia Alvarez

While illegal termination of pregnancy remains the leading cause of maternal death in the country, the Red multiply tips with misinformation and a growing black market for drugs of abortion.

Buy pills to 50 pesos, due 2011 original. Open 24 hours, Sundays and holidays. Home delivery free of charge on capital and with minimal cost to province by Correo Argentino. "While clandestine abortions remains the leading cause of maternal death in the country, with 29% incidence, and the Ministry of Health opt for silence to address the item, multiply in social networks, forums and advice websites with thousands of erroneous information, plus a huge business around the illegal sale of drugs used for medicinal abortions.

The supply of illegal sales on the Internet today spans the country with costs ranging between 40 dollars and 50 dollars per pill, and so developed methods is now possible to pay with credit cards . According Lesbians and Feminists for Legalization of Abortion, an NGO that serves the line "More information, less risk," where women consult for medical abortions, 7% of women consulted online purchase pills at a premium of around 200%.

"If the price on prescription in the pharmacy of misoprostol is 15 pesos, the average Internet is 44, with the further risk that trout come, conquered, are in poor condition or are placebos. In the poorest neighborhoods, the cut and mixed with other drugs, losing the effect. Women tend to deposit and then they come in the mail or have points of contact with the dealers, "said Lucia Sanchez, of that organization.

Selling online is only one facet of a huge illegal business that profits from the body women. Misoprostol is a drug is considered essential by the World Health Organization (WHO) and also has an obstetric use, use abortive until week 9 or 12 of gestation. This method was replacing the surgical option because it is a noninvasive method that can be applied at home, with a subsequent medical examination and has a 1% risk of infection and less than 5% chance of bleeding. Until 1998, misoprostol was counter in the country. But under pressure from the Bar Association of Pharmacists of Buenos Aires province, following the example of Brazil, the National Food, Drug and Medical Technology (ANMAT) decided to restrict its prescription file. Provision in 3646/98, the ANMAT determined that the drug "use and application needs a controlled demand clear information about the risks."

The consequences were visible: six out of ten cases are sold on the black market, according to the same Buenos Aires Bar Association of Pharmacists. Marcelo also Peretta, president of the Argentine Union of Pharmacists and Biochemists, estimated growth of the illegal sale of drugs to terminate pregnancies of 10% annually. According to the U.S. Federal Food and Drug Control in 2009 Argentina were sold in about 8000 pills.

"reproductive health risks. Misuse of misoprostol in pregnant teenagers "was one of the first studies in the country on the pharmacological method, by sociologist Maria Alicia Gutierrez and Sandra Vazquez gynecologist. They pointed out already in 2003 that pharmacists applied fractional and illegal sale and had control methods offer women wore to invest between 15 and 150 pesos for a pill.

According

Lesbian and Feminist NGO, about 60% of women now buy on the black market. The base the problem is that the secrecy extends far beyond its limits. Article 86 of the Penal Code, which prohibits abortions, states that although the woman's behavior is unlawful, not criminal medical actions that meet the ethical rules and techniques before, during or after an abortion. That is, doctors can prescribe misoprostol. But do not. According to a survey to 291 physicians in primary health care in 19 provinces during March and April 2010, 70% receive one to four month consultation on abortion, and of those, 40% provides information on options, but only 8% of prescription medication.

For these practices, the gap between women and the health system is growing. According to the NGO report presented to the Committee on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), 66% of women who called the line between March and April 2010 rather not consult a doctor when it decides to abort, and 90% of those under 20 years is a doctor you trust to talk to about the decision to terminate the pregnancy. The report's conclusion is revealing: "The prohibition does not relieve the State from its obligations to prevent unsafe abortion: not dying or getting sick from unsafe abortion is a human right basic, universal and non-derogable. "

prescription filed

The decision by the Food Drug Administration and Technology (ANMAT) to order the prescription on file, also affected the drug production : the only lab that produced pure misoprostol (20 mcg tablets) stopped. For ten years a single private laboratory (Beta) was combined with diclofenac misoprostol under the brand name Oxaprost, but since 2007 two more companies have this presentation. The total production of Beta sold at drugstores for 4 million dollars.

The advantage of pure misoprostol, which in other countries is known as Cytotec, is its price, almost a third less expensive than combined. For example, in Ecuador is sold for less than a dollar a pill. This is what gives rise to black market in Argentina.

Lack of information

addition to the sales pages of pills, on the Web thousands of comments circulating misinformation. "Ola I have 14 years xq stoy super preokupada demi my dad is suspicious and if they find out I can star pregnant q can hit me up k muxo fear I have tired help me please "(sic), Liz said in a Yahoo forum. The answers range from "the pill can take up to 49 days," "will generarte massive bleeding" or "parsley, is your solution, inserted into your vagina a straw and go lucky ok."

The consequences of the lack of information are known. According to the Ministry of Health in the UK is about 500 thousand abortions a year, 60 000 women end up hospitalized for shoddy interruptions and 100 die each year. However, almost no policies in the country to promote information about unsafe practices. The most significant in this sense occurred in the Programme for Sexual Health and Responsible Procreation coordinates Paula Ferro, now at the center of the storm by the signing of the ministerial decision to guide non-punishable abortions.

One of the most important initiatives of this program was the line 0800-222-3444 where in addition to providing information on contraception, sexual health, violence and dysfunction, preaborto issues are addressed and abortions are not punishable. A month has been released, 5% of the 936 questions, referred them to the latter topic. Opinion

Is it worth the lives of women?

By Veronica Marzano of lesbians and feminists for the decriminalization of abortion

in an Argentine hospital, women coming for abortions, make them wait for hours without attention, make them curettage without anesthesia and reported to police on duty, it takes the data. The police go house to house, monthly, to charge women the bribe and, in many cases, rape. While in another hospital in Argentina is a list of conscientious objectors, that guarantees a personal service with organizations that report on safe abortion and contraception, and served without delay or torture, respect professional secrecy and confidentiality.

Clandestine abortion is, according to the Ministry of Health of the Nation, an experience that all women spend at least 2 times in life. But there on the part of all institutions with a refusal to talk about abortion, a failure to address this issue that has to do with structural violence against women. For this issue there is no middle ground. From the State, or reinforced underground, or they guarantee women their human rights. The second requires the political will decide that women, their lives and health, political worth the trouble.

LyFDA REPORTS TO COMMITTEE OF THE CEDAW

Report Shadow presented by Lesbians and Feminists for Decriminalization of Abortion before the Committee on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)

-Extract-

In Argentina, abortion is illegal and punishable by imprisonment, unless the pregnancy resulted from rape, in case of danger to life or women's health, or if the woman has a mental illness or disability. Even in these cases, the ability to access legal abortion are rare. Occur each year in our country between 460,000 and 600,000 abortions under clandestine conditions. Every three days a woman dies as a result of unsafe abortion. So many suffer physical and emotional product experience underground and the violence they experience.

The prohibition of abortion does not relieve the State from its obligations to prevent unsafe abortion: not dying or getting sick from unsafe abortion is a basic human right, universal and non-derogable, shared by all countries even those where abortion is illegal (under the 1994 Constitution, Article 75. inc. 2, CEDAW Committee, Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights General Comment 14, para. 43 d, e, f, para. 44 a, c, d, among others, Decision of the Cairo Summit on Population and Development, Millennium Development Goal No. 5).

This report is based primarily on information provided by these 1616 women who called the toll from all over the country, for information on safe abortion. In this framework, aims to provide the Committee with specific information on concrete actions and omissions the Argentine government in realizing the right to health of women, under the terms of Article 12 of the Convention, according to the interpretation of this Committee and other bodies of the International Human Rights Treaties.

The experience of international health policy is emphatic about to lower the morbidity and mortality from unsafe abortion requires supplement efforts to expand access to contraception and improving post-abortion care, replacement policies unsafe methods of safe abortion, and safe methods to replace expensive, cheap and easy methods manage safe abortion.

both in countries where abortion is legal and where abortion is illegal, lower the cost of abortion services to expand its accessibility and availability is a major health policy challenges. In this replacement policy, abortion with the drug misoprostol has the highest advances and guarantees.

Misoprostol is an essential drug by the World Health Organization for being cheap, effective, widely available in a large number of countries and be culturally acceptable to produce self-induced abortions safe until 12 weeks of pregnancy, contributing to reduce the prevalence of avoidable deaths and complications from unsafe abortions worldwide, even in countries where abortion is illegal. Before misoprostol, no method was considered by WHO and international medical organizations as safe for women to have abortions by themselves at home, at any stage of pregnancy.

The regulatory framework of the right to health makes it clear that essential medicines should be available, accessible, acceptable and of good quality to benefit vulnerable populations without discrimination throughout the world. According to GC 14 of the CESCR on the right to health, "... a State party can not never in any circumstances justify its infringement of the basic obligations set out in paragraph 43 above, which are irrevocable.
