Group launches site to help women self-induce abortions at home, citing restrictive U.S. laws

An international advocacy group concerned about restrictive laws in the United States plans to help women use the abortion pill at home, offering online advice and counseling about how to use medications the Food and Drug Administration says should be taken only by prescription and under medical supervision.

Women Help Women, a three-year-old organization headquartered in the Netherlands, this week launched a website to provide one-on-one counseling services for women early in pregnancy who may have illegally obtained the pill on the Internet or through other means.

Kinga Jelinska, executive director of Women Help Women, said her organization provides a version of the service in other countries but decided to launch in the United States this year because of the political climate. Republican-led states have enacted a raft of abortion restrictions in recent years, and President Trump has said he supports overturning Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized the procedure nationally.

“There is a lot of fear and worry that, with the current administration and restrictions that are to the enormous disadvantage of girls and women, that access to clinical care might further diminish,” said Jelinska, an anthropologist and longtime reproductive rights advocate from Poland, where abortion is illegal except in narrow circumstances.

It’s insanity. But folks are working hard at developing the best pill to induce early abortions.

I would imagine it’s quite dangerous to the mother after a time.

ALWAYS deadly for the baby.

Agitprop.

Create hysteria over a problem that doesn’t exist.

This is the point of Charles Murray’s book - Coming Apart.

The Left’s policies will push further degradation and destruction on to the uneducated, poor and morally weak. Do-it-yourself abortions are something the elites of the Left would never, ever give to their own daughters, but their ideology justifies pushing it on to others. Not even considering the dead babies, it is yet another Leftist effort, that will create more broken, dysfunctional people at the bottom of society.

I wonder how many states would have “practicing medicine without a state license” to cover either the consultation from overseas or what the person does in their home to induce the abortion?

I would suspect that a few high profile convictions would pretty well keep this European group from proving in information to women in the USA.

Yeah. In Betty Friedan's day, it was all about human dignity, a safe, legal procedure, a decision made in privacy between you and you doctor, etc. etc..

Now it's "Yeah, go ahead and miscarry into a mop bucket." Then take a good look at the contents and see what we meant by 'human dignity.'

The only time “God would not forgive” in the Old Testament was when the nation of Judah practiced “legal” child sacrifice. The King who did it repented while in prison in Babylon. After he realized the God of his fathers is the One True God he was allowed to go back to his kingdom and he destroyed the altars. There was a revival under his grandson, Josiah, but 2 kings later they did it again and that is when the invasion was completed, national justice implemented, and Lamentations was written. 2 Kings

Aaaaand it comes full circle.

The earliest campaigns for abortion were to stop the deaths that occured from home abortions, back-alley abortions, Frank Sinatra’s mother doing abortions in her kitchen in a Jersey City tenement, that sort of thing. So, how have we “progressed” if women still want the “convenience” of risking bleeding to death or causing their own infertility, quite aside from the horrible murder of her own chld in her home, a memory forever linked to where she lives?
