Brief Answer:
Papaya enzyme is not effective abortifacient
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
Ii don't think the papaya enzyme is a effective abortifacient. In the literature it has been mentioned that it can cause pre-mature induction of labour – and thus may induce an abortion or cause abnormalities in the baby. But it's effectiveness is not established and it is not used for this purpose. In nutshell I would not suggest you this.
It is very important to know the duration of pregnancy, medical termination is possible in first trimester only.
I am unaware of your country's law, but if you do not want the baby, then you should see doctor for help. There are medications which are available but they are prescription based agents, require valid prescription from doctor.
Hope this helps
If you have further questions, I'll be glad to answer them.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Not possible at home with natural substance
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
You can not do this at home with some natural substance. As suggested earlier there are hormonal agents which are used for medical abortion during first trimester and this drug is given under supervision. This is proven, scientifically valid and complete abortion.
Kindly see local OBGYN. I would recommend you not use anything for this purpose at home.
Hope this helps.
