Young women in the subcontinent are not shying away from expreesing their sexuality. The results however, has been quite adverse, many times. 
Unplanned, Unmarried and Pregnant. Many women share their success story while many share how it devastated them. Whatever, be the reason behind their success or failure, the soceity plays a major role in it. Most women presume that in these situations their friends and family will turn against them. Obviously, these fears do not develop out of no where.
On several occassions, these women have been murdered under the pretext of maintaining honour (honour killing), been refused to be attended by doctors and severly judged by friends and family. Abortion Pill
Hence, single women, trying to end their their pregnancy often end up doing it by themselves. RU 486, Misopristol, a well known abortion drug which is illegally sold over the counter with a minimal charge of Rs. 50 is a pre erable choice,
however with deadly consequences. If used without supervision, this drug can kill individuals.
There remains very little choice for women under these circumstances, rst being whether to continue or end their pregnancy.
