"You get fat when you go on the Pill, so they all hate it. Many of those that do
go on the Pill end up taking other drugs so they can lose weight. It's
unbelievable," Reika says. "I'm getting out of this business because recently a
lot of gynecologists have started prescribing the Pill to minors even if they
don't have a health insurance card or permission from their parents. Lots of
guys buying sex from these girls will also sell them the Morning After Pill and
some women use online billboards for used clothes to advertise sales of the
pills to minors.
"There's this drug called Cravit that's selling really well now. It works the
same as the Morning After, but it also clears up chlamydia, so the girls can't
get enough of it."
It's become common, apparently, for some pregnant minors to perform self
abortions by consuming large quantities of the high-dose Pill.
"I often hear of girls going around bragging that they fell pregnant, but got
rid of the baby by taking a huge dose of the Pill," Reika says. "Some girls
tend to think of a pregnancy as nothing more than an extension of a mild case
of the clap."
Reika says that many minors circumvent requirements to present health insurance
certificates by simply forging them, a practice spreading through word of
mouth. A gynecologist, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirms the
practice.
"There are many hospitals that will perform an abortion on a minor even if they
know they have submitted a fake health insurance card. But it's 100 percent out
of humane consideration that they do this. If they call up the girl's parents
and start telling her off, there's a chance she might run away and it'll be too
late for an abortion by the time they find her," the physician tells Spa! "Some
of these doctors are accused of being baby killers, or merchants of death, so
to avoid that, they perform the operations almost on a volunteer basis. If a
doctor offers treatment to someone they know is using a fake health insurance
card, the doctor can be liable to prosecution, so they do the abortions for
free. If they do charge, it's the same as normal, but they allow for partial or
delayed payments. You can only find these hospitals in Tokyo or larger cities,
though."
Piruya Reika says a lot of Tokyo gynecological hospitals will perform abortions
on minors with no questions asked. She says it's easy for girls to find out
where to go, courtesy of mobile phone sites that list the places that will
willingly terminate pregnancies for girls. But Reika adds there are risks
involved.
"Some fraudsters get on the sites and offer to give abortions without health
insurance or permission from parents," Reika tells Spa! "But then they demand
half the cost of the operation to be paid up front and then vanish once they
get the money."
