According to a Morocco local and sexual health professional, it's much safer to obtain a surgical abortion than a medical abortion. This is because, generally-speaking, you can only access part of the medication (one of the two pills) required to induce a medical abortion in Morocco. This typically means that the medicine isn't enough to fully complete the abortion -- and, a result, many women are brought to hospital emergency rooms. Since the abortion is already partially complete, the doctors usually complete the abortion in the emergency room. The doctors don't have legal proof that the woman induced the abortion herself, so women aren't typically prosecuted. However, this is a risky route, exposing women to potential medical providers, family members and community members to a decision that they probably wanted to keep personal and private. There is also the potential risk of doctors refusing to treat patients. For these reasons, if you want to obtain an abortion in Morocco, it's strongly recommended that you find a medical provider who you trust that can provide a safe surgical abortion.

Generally speaking, clandestine abortions in Morocco cost 2000-6000 Moroccan Dirham. There have been cases of abortion providers who provide especially low-cost services to women who cannot afford the typical rate, so this number varies.
