It is apparently pretty hard to restrict abortions

This article at the BBC just shows that technology can make it pretty
difficult to regulate things, including abortion.

Some women in countries where abortion is restricted are using the
internet to buy medication enabling them to abort a pregnancy at home,
the BBC has learned.

Women in Northern Ireland and over 70 countries with restrictions have
used one of the main websites, Women on Web.

A British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology review of 400
customers found nearly 11% had needed a surgical procedure after
taking the medication.

The website says it can help reduce the problems linked with unsafe
abortions. . .
