Brief Answer:
No!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Laxatives cannot be used for abortion. If you are pregnant and considering abortion, the best approach would be to get evaluated. How abortion is carried out depends on the pregnancy age. It is best for a doctor to evaluate you before any attempt to take any drug.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Let me know if there is something more you want us to do for you at this time.
