Surely it has not come to this yet...

...or has it?

I don't know how this post makes me feel. Freaked out for sure, but also oddly empowered. The instructions are well-written and, intelligently applied, would at least ensure that we don't go back to the nightmare of the coathanger days. I understand those like Dada who are justifiably horrified by the idea of *shudder* DIY abortions. But given the inherent risks and costs of a pregnancy brought to term, it seems inevitable that women are going to turn to underground abortions in the absence of a safe and legal option to terminate their unwanted pregnancies. Better that this information is out there than not.
