Marta Martinez: 在1980年代的巴西，堕胎几乎完全非法，但妇女们通过口口相传，发现并利用胃溃疡药物Cytotec（米索前列醇）的副作用进行自我管理堕胎，从而显著降低了孕产妇死亡率。这一发现不仅改变了巴西的堕胎现状，也为整个拉丁美洲的堕胎权运动奠定了基础。我们选择从巴西开始讲述这个故事，是因为这里是这场变革的起点，妇女们通过自己的智慧和行动，找到了在法律限制下保护自己健康和权利的方法。 Victoria Estrada: 尽管最初妇女们对Cytotec的使用方法并不完全了解，但她们通过互相交流和分享经验，迅速掌握了安全有效的用药剂量和方法。这种妇女间的互助网络，以及药剂师的参与，使得Cytotec在巴西迅速传播开来。我们采访了一位名叫R的妇女，她分享了自己使用Cytotec进行堕胎的经历，与她第一次因不安全堕胎而住院的经历相比，使用Cytotec的经历更加安全和舒适。这充分说明了妇女们通过自我管理，可以在法律限制下获得相对安全的堕胎服务。 Rivaldo Albuquerque: 我亲眼目睹了Cytotec对巴西妇女健康的积极影响。在Cytotec被广泛使用之前，因不安全堕胎导致的感染和出血是导致孕产妇死亡的主要原因。但是，随着Cytotec的普及，这些严重的并发症几乎消失了，这简直就像一个奇迹。我见证了妇女们因Cytotec而重获健康和希望，这让我更加坚定了支持妇女堕胎权的决心。 R: 我在1980年代做过两次堕胎，第一次是在Cytotec上市之前，那次经历非常可怕，我因为大出血住院，差点丧命。几年后，我再次怀孕，这次我听说了Cytotec，并从药房购买了该药物。与第一次堕胎相比，这次经历的副作用更小，感觉更安全。我非常感谢Cytotec，它让我能够在法律限制下安全地结束妊娠。
