Brief Answer: Do it under the supervision of a doctor Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX I understand your concerns. You cannot abort a pregnancy at home all by yourself. There are medications available for it namely Mifepristone and Misoprostol. These are prescription drugs and needs to be taken under the supervision of a doctor. You have to consult a doctor for this. Perhaps, you could request for the medicines, and the abortion process to occur at home. This can happen only if her doctor agrees. Else, there is no other way to abort at home.
