"Some women have no alternative but to seek Early Medical Abortion (EMA) pills online. While the World Health Organisation has said that EMA medication is safe (even when taken outside a clinical setting), there are risks associated with buying EMA medication online. We do not advise anyone to take medication without qualified medical supervision, but if you have no other option, both Women on Web and Women Help Women can provide EMA pills, advice and support. "Because we don't advise anyone to take medication without suitable medical supervision, we have launched a free confidential aftercare helpline for women who have bought pills from Women Help Women and Women on Web."Pro-life group, Life Institute, released a statement which said that the BPAS helpline was a PR stunt. Spokeswoman Niamh Ui Bhriain called it a "stunt designed to promote abortion rather than a genuine effort to help women".
"They should keep their nose out of Irish affairs and be challenged on the appalling number of abortions that are taking place in Britain, where they make millions from exploiting women and killing babies."The helpline can be reached in Ireland on 1800-910049 and on 0800-0776049 from Northern Ireland.
