Mind you, you will probably have to follow and make friends with a prostitute or two to find an abortionist. And a possible shady doctor to provide RU-480.

My sister-in-law said that doctors are hesitant to prescribe the pill until they have had a few kids. After the 3 mark, then they will prescribe. I know my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are really not trusting of starting the pill and then stopping to have more kids.

What the Koran says, the jury is still out on this one. My husband's Mosque consensus is in favor of birth control. But surgically sterilizing either spouse is not kosher from what I can gather from Islamic forums and the Muslims I know. I asked my husband about a vasectomy or tyeing my tubes and well, I took him a while to calm down.

The illegality of abortion in Egypt is a relatively recent phenomenon, however. According to the authors of "Planning the Family in Egypt," medieval Muslim texts contain “descriptions of female contraceptive methods and abortificants,” suggesting that the practices were once widespread. In addition, there was popular acceptance of abortion in Egyptian society until it was outlawed by Muhammad Ali in the 1830s, reportedly to increase the male population available for his armies.
Current religious rulings and civil law have not stopped abortions in Egypt, however. They have only made them increasingly unsafe.
A physician who performs an abortion here faces three years in prison. For many doctors, however, the financial gains of performing abortions outweigh the legal and moral risks. A professional and safe medical abortion costs about LE3,000 or about $460 in a private clinic in Egypt.

Ahlam was lucky. Her abortion was done by a doctor under sanitary conditions.

Of course, most women can't afford such a hefty price tag. As a result, most abortions in Egypt are done at home without medical supervision. The average annual income in Egypt is about LE26,000 ($4,000). And the World Bank reports that about 17 percent of families live on less than $2 per day. In addition, husbands often demand a strict accounting of how their wives spend money.

For between LE500 and LE1,000, ($150) doctors or midwives will perform abortions in less than sanitary conditions and with unsophisticated equipment.

Many women try to end their pregnancies by taking overdoses of aspirin or quinine, risking their own lives, as well as harm to the fetuses. Others take herbal douches, including concoctions of mashed onion leaves or moulikhiya, a local plant similar to spinach. They also use cotton stalks, palm fronds or goose feathers soaked in gasoline to dislodge the fetus from the uterine wall.

Only education about contraceptives and reproductive health can reduce these practices and overall abortion rates, says Iman Bibars, the head of the Association for the Development and Enhancement of Women. The association is a nongovernmental organization which conducts health awareness programs for some of Egypt's poorest women.

That's exactly why. "Lazy" ovaries would be the death of a couple.

My brother-in-law is a pharmacist and speaks of birth control as something only a woman done having kids would take. I was on the mini-pill before going back full force and he was really concerned I was taking birth control at all.

It's of no doubt that infertility would lead to divorce in many cases, and especially in Egypt.

Ola, for whatever reason I have a strong feeling that you don't want to give birth to this child. And you should leave it up to the doctors if an abortion is even recommended. Did you make a pregnancy test yet? And what is your husband saying all about it? I mean, is he entirely agreeing with your thoughts? You see, you are probably pregnant but to come to an Muslim country and aim to have an abortion there is a totally wrong thought. Of course no doctor will agree with you. Ensure you whether pregnant or not and you and your husband have to figure things out.

Please rethink your decision because children are something beautiful and everlasting in your life. You might consider something you will totally regret later on down the road. Accept that you are probably becoming a mother and look forward to it with the help of your husband, your family and your friends. Please keep the baby. Good luck!

Sorry none of our ES experts could help you. I believe what you’re asking for is help and information, not personal opinions or condemnation. The answer to your first question is yes abortion is technically illegal. However, like everything else in this country people are willing to look the other way and everything and anything can be bought in this country. That’s why Egypt is such a great place to live.

There are doctors in Cairo that can assist you, it does cost money, and the clinics are safe and clean. But like anything else in life you get what you pay for. As for this pill everyone is talking about (RU-480) I’m sure it’s here somewhere, I’ll ask around. Have you consider other options, some of the more common prenatal birth defect test are available here and might be a possible solution to your worries about having an abnormal baby. Some of those tests are ultrasound, amniocentesis, and chorionic villus sampling (CVS). Once again these tests are available but they can be costly, and might have to be performed more then once. Why don’t you consider visiting a good prenatal doctor in Cairo for second opinion before you commit yourself to something you might regret later? And if you still feel the same way then post again.

[/B][/QUOTE]

How dare you, Welsafty. That isn't my opinion at all. Don't put words in my mouth.

Personally I feel abortion is a human right. My husband disagrees with me completely. But he does acknowledge the quickening date.

Somehow its always men who are behind the movement to take a woman's right to choose her options away from her.

Some of this is personal experience. When I was in Egypt last I tried to get my hands on some ortho novum because I don't have health insureance here and its costs upwards of $35 a montly package. My brother-in-law meekly took me around to find some. And if you think about it, 15-30LE is alot of green for a couple who lives off of 200LE a month.

Personally in my opinion a couple who have 3 kids already or are not able to take on an addition child due to economics should be able to choose on their own. Think of what happens when a couple isn't given a choice.

Now my brother-in-law is a pharmacist who is heavily negative towards USA. If a taboo topic like this comes up he's going to cop the moral highground. Mind you my relatives have very little contact with foreigners. And are part of a generation becoming increasingly religiously conservative.

And recently our weekly periodical of everything left for our metropolitan area did a article on just such a topic.
http://citypages.com/databank/26/1264/article12987.asp

Read the above article and consider whether policy of small independantly owned pharmacies could cop this defense or if Egyptian parliment has every passed a law of this stature? Think, they probably have. Now where the Hell is Mzeden?

Grow up. I had to carry my prescription with for Zantac and Ortho Novum. I don't know if this was because I would be carrying these meds out of the country or what?

And there are things you need prescriptions for, like anti-anxiety meds like xanax. Which is an old standby. I didn't have a prescription and my brother-in-law was only able to obtain a 2 month supply of samples.

But as anyone knows, foreigners are worth bending braking rules for, if a foreigner can't speak or read Arabic anything goes. The same laws for Egyptians don't apply to foriegners, its just down on paper, not in practice.

Abortions Are Illegal and Common in Egypt
Monday, April 12, 2004

Women seek abortions throughout Egypt, even though religious and civil law bars the procedures. Some 35 percent are done without any medical supervision.

CAIRO (WOMENSENEWS) -- Abortion is illegal here and barred by religious authorities. Nevertheless, pregnant women, often at great personal risk, regularly find a way to end unwanted pregnancies.

Ahlam is one such woman. "It was the worst news of my life," says Ahlam, her eyes filling with tears. "I didn't want to do it. I knew it was forbidden by God." But her doctor said Ahlam (not her real name) and the fetus were infected with toxoplasmosis, a relatively common disease transmitted by house cats or through under-cooked meat. In Ahlam's case, tests of her amniotic fluid showed that the disease crossed the placenta wall and infected the fetus, drastically increasing the chance of birth defects and blindness.

With only three months left in her pregnancy, Ahlam had an abortion. Women like Ahlam make the choice despite the strong condemnations from local religious leaders. For example, Al-Azhar mosque, Egypt's foremost religious authority, issued a fatwa in January that says that "it is impermissible for the mother to induce abortion if it is proven that the fetus is deformed or suffers from mental retardation . . . It is not a justifiable excuse."

The fatwa only adds to the already existing religious doctrine, supported by Egyptian law that forbids abortion unless the mother's life is in imminent danger. The illegality of abortion in Egypt is a relatively recent phenomenon, however. According to the authors of "Planning the Family in Egypt," medieval Muslim texts contain “descriptions of female contraceptive methods and abortificants,” suggesting that the practices were once widespread. In addition, there was popular acceptance of abortion in Egyptian society until it was outlawed by Muhammad Ali in the 1830s, reportedly to increase the male population available for his armies. Current religious rulings and civil law have not stopped abortions in Egypt, however. They have only made them increasingly unsafe. As governments in North America and Europe clarify their positions on abortion through legislation, scholars of religious law in Egypt have likewise sought rulings that make clear the conditions under which an abortion is permissible under Egypt's Islam.

Most Middle Eastern countries expressly forbid abortion unless the life of the mother is in imminent danger. Tunisia, however, is the exception to the rule and permits abortions on request. Adding a sense of urgency to the discussions, advances in pre-natal care have made unsafe pregnancies and fetal abnormalities easier to detect. To meet the need, many foreign-trained Egyptian gynecologists now offer abortions in private clinics. However, these relatively safe procedures are not available to most women.

Attempts to reduce the rate of abortion in Egypt or make it safer for women, routinely run up against religious, cultural and sexual barriers. While there are no exact numbers, there is no question, that abortion rates in Egypt are high. A 1996 study of 1,300 Egyptian women by the Cairo Demographic Center found that one-third had tried to terminate a pregnancy. This is slightly lower than in the United States, where about 40 percent of women have had an abortion at some point in their lives.

A 1998 study by Egyptian researchers and published by the New York-based Population Council extrapolated from the rate of post-abortion treatment in Egyptian public hospitals to find the overall abortion rate. After studying over 22,000 admissions to hospital gynecology departments, researchers found that out of every 100 pregnancies, 15 were ended by induced abortion. About 35 percent of abortions in Egypt are done without any medical supervision, according to the Population Council study. Prices and Hygiene Vary Dramatically

A physician who performs an abortion here faces three years in prison. For many doctors, however, the financial gains of performing abortions outweigh the legal and moral risks. A professional and safe medical abortion costs about LE3,000 or about $460 in a private clinic in Egypt. Ahlam was lucky. Her abortion was done by a doctor under sanitary conditions.

Of course, most women can't afford such a hefty price tag. As a result, most abortions in Egypt are done at home without medical supervision. The average annual income in Egypt is about LE26,000 ($4,000). And the World Bank reports that about 17 percent of families live on less than $2 per day. In addition, husbands often demand a strict accounting of how their wives spend money. For between LE500 and LE1,000, ($150) doctors or midwives will perform abortions in less than sanitary conditions and with unsophisticated equipment.

Many women try to end their pregnancies by taking overdoses of aspirin or quinine, risking their own lives, as well as harm to the fetuses. Others take herbal douches, including concoctions of mashed onion leaves or moulikhiya, a local plant similar to spinach. They also use cotton stalks, palm fronds or goose feathers soaked in gasoline to dislodge the fetus from the uterine wall. Only education about contraceptives and reproductive health can reduce these practices and overall abortion rates, says Iman Bibars, the head of the Association for the Development and Enhancement of Women. The association is a nongovernmental organization which conducts health awareness programs for some of Egypt's poorest women.

Bibars adds that women occupy "a traditionally neglected and disempowered segment of Egyptian society," despite their important role within families. Breaking through the religious and cultural barriers is not easy, however.

"Virginity belongs to the family," she says, not to the woman. "The key question is 'who controls a woman's body?'"

Islam here is founded on the belief that the human body belongs to God and, according to Egyptian tradition, a woman belongs to her father before marriage and her husband after marriage. "It is this sense of family honor, which comes from our blend of Islam and Arab and African culture that prevents women from understanding their own bodies," says Bibars.

"The problems we have with abortion, the problems with promoting contraception and women's health, these are all symptoms of this obsession with honor. The only way for this to be settled is to have a transparent, open, public debate about what honor means and who ultimately controls a woman's body. Let's ask ourselves these questions," says Bibars.

She adds that when the association holds workshops on women's health, the resistance is fierce--and not only from the target communities. Some of the association's own staff refuses to attend such workshops if they revolve around gynecological health.

There are currently no groups in Egypt that deal specifically with abortion. Bibars says it is impossible for non-governmental organizations to take on the task. "You would be terrorized by everyone and probably shut down in the end." Instead, groups like Bibars' focus on educating women about contraceptive methods as a way to reduce unwanted pregnancies. Contraceptives are widely available in Egypt, but many in rural areas don't use them properly.

"People say if we make it legal, it will be used as birth control," says Bibars. "But look--it already is and it will be forever." Christopher Walker is a writer based in Cairo.

No one said there was not an Egyptian law about having a prescription. Were saying you don’t need one. It’s a FACT that you can buy all most any type of drug with out having a prescription. Egyptian laws are not enforced, they are not worth the paper they are written on, ask any Egyptian and they will tell you the same thing. You really need to get out of that small suburb you live in and see the world village girl. Two trips to the goat farms of Minufiya don’t make you an expert on Egypt.

And often the medications dispensed without prescription is counterfeit.

Counterfeit drugs was one of the top 5 concerns of WTO and WHO for some time now. Not only does it curtail sale of drugs but also puts the public at risk without a papertrail to follow it is unlikely that the authorities can prevent later harm done by counterfeit drugs in kind.

Now you may use whatever insults you want, but the objections were if there was any kind of law regarding non-prescribed drugs of a certian form being dispensed. I knew that there are laws on the books. Whether or not they are being enforced might signify why there are less and less drug stores without the faculty of pharmacists being shut down and how often pharmacists lose their licenses. cairoexpat you are not an expert in these matters, neither am I. But I have done the research.

Not you.

I can only hope the next lassie who entertains you is carrying counterfeit cealis or viagra. I highly doubt that any medical professional would try hard to reverse the damaage that the counterfeit would do to you in particular.

Somewhere on those webpages of pharmegypt.com was a note of how or when viagra was to be introduced into the market. Right now its more of a concern of all the counterfeit viagra jiggling in prostitutes purses.
