Just how far will the abortion industry go to put pills into the hands of African women?
The Population Research Institute (PRI) decided to find out.
Its research team opened WhatsApp and messaged “Nurse Nisa,” a chatbot built by Ipas, the North Carolina-based abortion giant, together with the tech firm Dimagi. It operates in Kenya and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Within a few messages “Nurse Nisa” — who of course is not a nurse at all — had assured them that abortion pills are safe for “women and girls of all ages,” sent a link to an online pregnancy calculator, and walked them through taking 12 misoprostol pills.
The website behind that link went further: misoprostol, it said, can be bought at a pharmacy, “sometimes without a prescription.”
Much of what the phony nurse said was false. The rest was dangerous. Not surprising since “she” is practicing medicine without a license!
Nisa’s opening line is breezy: “Safi! Let’s talk about abortion.” The pills, she assures us, are safe for “women and girls of all ages.”
Says who? Not the drug labels. The U.S. label for mifepristone admits that the drug’s effects by age “have not been investigated.” The label for misoprostol carries a caution for women over 35 and heavy smokers, who were left out of its trials. The manufacturers don’t know the answers. Ipas’s chatbot claims to know them for every schoolgirl who logs on.
