Despite restrictive legal guidelines against abortion in Nigeria and Ghana, google data shows that women in these countries are topping the list of those searching for abortion pills online.

There are two main methods of inducing abortion; medical and surgical.

A medical abortion sometimes entails taking a mixture of drugs, Misoprostol and Mifeprostone, to induce a miscarriage. Misoprostol can even go by model names like Cytotec.

Nigeria and Ghana are the 2 nations with the highest search interest in Misoprostol, based on the Google data.

The Nigeria legal environment ids strict on abortion, just allowing it in conditions that place a girl‘s life is in peril.

In Ghana, abortion is solely permitted in instances of rape, incest, foetal impairment or to protect a girl‘s psychological well being.

Of the 25 nations with highest search interest in Misoprostol, 11 are in Africa and 14 in Latin America.
