Adem\u00e1s, nueve estados, entre ellos Texas, Misisipi y Oklahoma, tienen leyes que proh\u00edben el aborto despu\u00e9s de seis semanas o leyes que lo proh\u00edben y que se promulgaron antes de Roe contra Wade <\/i>y nunca se retiraron.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nNos estamos preparando para lo que sin duda ser\u00e1 una crisis nacional, ya que las mujeres, las ni\u00f1as y las personas de g\u00e9nero diverso en los Estados Unidos comienzan a enfrentarse a restricciones legales m\u00e1s estrictas para acceder a un aborto seguro. Pero F\u00f2s Feminista tiene una larga trayectoria de apoyo al acceso a los anticonceptivos y al aborto frente a las leyes antiaborto. Nuestros socios llevan d\u00e9cadas superando los obst\u00e1culos creados por contextos legales restrictivos.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nEn la d\u00e9cada de 1980, los movimientos feministas de Brasil, seguidos por los de M\u00e9xico y otras partes de Am\u00e9rica Latina, descubrieron una soluci\u00f3n discreta para interrumpir el embarazo en contextos nacionales con pol\u00edticas antiaborto: una pastilla, destinada al tratamiento de las \u00falceras g\u00e1stricas, tambi\u00e9n era eficaz para interrumpir el embarazo de forma segura. Surgieron redes de defensoras de los derechos humanos, profesionales m\u00e9dicos y otras personas (denominadas \u201credes de acompa\u00f1amiento\u201d) para ayudar a las personas embarazadas que deseaban abortar a acceder a este medicamento y administr\u00e1rselo de forma segura.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nHoy en d\u00eda, ese medicamento, el misoprostol, forma parte de un tratamiento de dos dosis para el aborto m\u00e9dico. Debido a su seguridad y eficacia, el misoprostol, combinado con la mifepristona, se ha convertido en el est\u00e1ndar de referencia para el aborto m\u00e9dico, seg\u00fan la Organizaci\u00f3n Mundial de la Salud. Las mujeres y otras personas embarazadas pueden administr\u00e1rselo ellas mismas en la intimidad y comodidad de sus propios hogares, lo que se ha dado en llamar aborto m\u00e9dico autogestionado (SMMA, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s).\u00a0<\/span>\n\nWomen and pregnant people can have an abortion by taking one 200 mg mifepristone pill and four 200 mcg misoprostol pills over two days. Misoprostol can be used alone when mifepristone isn\u2019t available with lower effectiveness. Abortion pills are effective during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.\n\nThe protocol is summarized in the following steps:\n
    \n \t
  1. Tome un comprimido de mifepristona (200 mg) con un vaso de agua. Puede comer y beber normalmente durante el resto del d\u00eda.<\/li>\n \t
  2. 24 horas despu\u00e9s, coloque cuatro tabletas de misoprostol (200 mcg cada una) en la mejilla, entre la enc\u00eda y los dientes inferiores, dos a cada lado. (Se deben colocar dos tabletas entre la enc\u00eda y la mejilla del lado izquierdo y dos tabletas entre la enc\u00eda y la mejilla del lado derecho).<\/li>\n \t
  3. Deje que las cuatro pastillas se disuelvan durante 30 minutos. No coma ni beba nada durante este tiempo. Puede tragar la saliva. Trague cualquier resto de las pastillas despu\u00e9s de 30 minutos.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nUn informe reciente del Instituto Guttmacher revel\u00f3 que la SMMA es, de hecho, la forma preferida y m\u00e1s accesible de interrupci\u00f3n del embarazo, ya que representa m\u00e1s de la mitad (54%) de los abortos en los Estados Unidos. Estas pastillas son cada vez m\u00e1s solicitadas tras Roe contra Wade <\/i>ser revocado.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nComo F\u00f2s Feminista, estamos trabajando a trav\u00e9s de la entidad que creamos junto con nuestros socios, INNOVA Health Supplies, para garantizar que los medicamentos SMMA sigan siendo accesibles en muchas partes del mundo. Y nuestras organizaciones asociadas contin\u00faan promoviendo y creando conciencia sobre la eficacia y seguridad de los SMMA, al tiempo que ayudan a desestigmatizarlos.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nIn Mexico, for example, F\u00f2s Feminista works with multiple partners that provide information and accompaniment to women and other pregnant people to self-manage medical abortions. In Kenya, our partner TICAH works with a model of sharing information through a hotline and connecting abortion seekers to a referral network, while KMET trains local pharmacists on SMMA. Our partner GIWYN, in Nigeria, works in communities to destigmatize safe abortion, including by sharing a song about how to use misoprostol and the potential side-effects. GIWYN also operates a hotline to provide information and support on a range of sexual and reproductive health issues, including safe abortion and where to seek post-abortion care.\n\nWe look to our partner organizations as examples of what is possible in restrictive contexts, and seek to be a channel for cross-border learning exchanges with organizations in the U.S. on SMMA.","":null,"anchor_id":""}}]},"yoast_head":"\nSelf-Managed Abortion Provides Options in Restrictive Contexts -
