Blogger’s Post of Abortion Instructions Troubles Both Sides of Volatile Debate
A feminist blogger has posted explicit directions online for a surgical abortion, in reaction to the new South Dakota law all but banning the procedure.
Her action troubles activists on both sides of the issue: Is it a harbinger of a return to the era of secret, illegal abortions?
At her “Molly Saves the Day” weblog, the 21-year-old Florida resident uses the pseudonym Molly Blythe. Given the volatility of the abortion debate, she requested that her real name and city of residence not be used in this story.
In an interview, the blogger said South Dakota’s recent ban on abortion – even in cases of rape and incest – prompted her post, “For the Women of South Dakota: An Abortion Manual.” The blogger, who has no medical background, said she has been compiling instructions for several years. She observed an actual abortion, interviewed providers and read medical texts, she said.
She posted directions for a dilation and curettage – or D and C – abortion, and plans to next place online the steps for a vacuum aspiration abortion.
my least favorite part…Why should here views be more important than anyone else’s…
“If anyone has a problem with this and they don’t think non-doctors should perform medical procedures, there’s a simple way to guarantee that won’t happen: Make sure Roe v. Wade is not overturned,” she said, referring to the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion nationwide.

Most of us know that abortion is morally wrong but unfortunately it is still legal so I don’t get it what if anything is this lady being charged for? Is it because she suspposedly performed the abortion on herself or is it because she was storing the fetuses?

I don’t know about in Italy, but under state laws here it’s illegal to perform an abortion if you are not a licensed physician.

Ah, Rome, Georgia. Of course. That wasn’t clear from the posting snippet, and I did not click through the link to the full story.

And the irony is that a woman can take an abortion pill and self abort, and that’s ok. I guess she used the wrong method.
Are we screwed up, or what?

I’ve heard of people performing surgery on themselves why is abortion any different?
These were some of the same thoughts I had.

The other thing they may be trying to charge this woman with is storing the aborted fetuses. Abortion clinics sometimes sale aborted fetuses to Universities and Research clinics. It’s morbid that this woman stored these fetuses but just look at what these abortion mills do day after day with fetuses, the only difference is they’ve got a business license, they’re professionals.
