An online video, which offers a potentially dangerous DIY abortion pill recipe, has been uploaded by a group calling itself,\u00a0Four Thieves Vinegar Collective (FTVDIYA). The\u00a0Chief spokesperson of the group, Mix\u00e6l S Laufer, can be seen in the video\u00a0instructing women on how to manufacture their own abortion drugs. While Laufer only recently shared the video on Twitter<\/a>\u00a0it seems to have been in circulation on the Internet Archive website<\/a> since September of 2021 and appears to have been viewed more than 24,000 times.<\/p>\n

Currently, the abortion pill regimen consists of two drugs: Mifeprex (mifepristone) and misoprostol. Mifeprex was approved<\/a>\u00a0by the FDA\u00a0for the termination of pregnancy in 2000 in a regimen with a second drug, misoprostol. That drug was originally created under the name Cytotec as an ulcer medicine. According to the maker of the drug<\/a> (Searle), it was never indicated for pregnancy\/abortion when it was later paired with mifepristone (formerly called\u00a0RU-486<\/a>) as part of the abortion pill regimen. Despite that, abortion advocates have been busy inventing all sorts of schemes to flout the law<\/a> and obtain or expand abortion pill access, including promoting the use of “Miso only<\/a>,” which is far less effective in completing the abortion than the two-drug combination.<\/p>\n

Abortion pill in ingredients from questionable sources<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

In his video,\u00a0Laufer referred to abortion pills as a “key resource” which he claimed was a “human right.” And, he added that while people are working to reverse abortion restrictions in places like Texas, he said there were “intermediate steps that need to be taken.”<\/p>\n

To make DIY abortion pills, Laufer lays out the ingredients for his concocted recipe, telling his viewers they will need “Misoprostol powder,” a “scale,” a “pollen press,” some “confectioners’ sugar,” some “corn starch or powdered milk,” and a “spray bottle.”<\/p>\n

Laufer claimed the DIY pill-making process was easy and “not that tricky.” He went on to instruct viewers on how to obtain the\u00a0active ingredient, misoprostol, even going as far as to suggest the Black market — which may send a counterfeit drug.<\/p>\n

He then went on to say, “Interestingly enough, most domesticated horses have ulcers” and tells viewers they can obtain the drug from a veterinarian. “In any event, you can get misoprostol for horses” or — as he claimed — from websites that our “out there” as “misprostol powder” which horse owners use.<\/p>\n

As for obtaining mifepristone, Laufer claims that “a raw active ingredient is much harder to find because it’s not the sort of thing that’s used for other stuff,” he said.\u00a0 “If you’re looking to make it from scratch there are some places – again – these sort of chemical supplier types that come from places that are kind of questionable and its not real clear whether they are going to give you the real thing or they are going to give you something that’s counterfeit. But you can order them,” Laufer claimed.<\/p>\n
