HOWTO give yourself an abortion
This is my first post via Google reader. I thought it should get out there and add that my work proxy now blocks BoingBoing. BoingBoing is currently protesting the fact that they are blocked as a pr0n site for showing
1) Pictures of "David"
2) Those new Abu Garaib photos.
Does that make the U.S. government pr0n peddlers?
The main article though is a "HOWTO" on DIY abortions.
New on my list this week: South Dakota.
HOWTO give yourself an abortion: "Xeni Jardin: Inspired by the grim news that abortions may soon be banned in South Dakota, one female blogger posts detailed instructions -- MAKE magazine style -- on DIY backalley abortions. Not a recommendation, and not reposted here with the belief that this would be safe or advisable for any woman.
In the 1960s and early 1970s, when abortions were illegal in many places and expensive to get, an organization called Jane stepped up to the plate in the Chicago area. Jane initially hired an abortion doctor, but later they did the abortions themselves. They lost only one patient in 13,000 -- a lower death rate than that of giving live birth. The biggest obstacle they had, though, was the fact that until years into the operation, they thought of abortion as something only a doctor could do, something only the most trained specialist could perform without endangering the life of the woman.
They were deceived -- much like you have probably been deceived. An abortion, especially for an early pregnancy, is a relatively easy procedure to perform. And while I know, women of South Dakota, that you never asked for this, now is the time to learn how it is done. There is no reason you should be beholden to doctors -- especially in a state where doctors have been refusing to perform them, forcing the state's only abortion "
