Hippie Home Abortion
For those with limited access or no access at all to abortion, apparently there is a method of "home abortion" that involves taking mass quantities vitamin C and inserting parsley deep into the vagina ever 12 hours for three days, according to Angry for a Reason.
I have used this to positive results 3 times. Given the lack of access to bc and abortion in much of the US I would like to share this with all of you. Copy it, pass it around, send it to your friends. It is cheap and accessible to all. Obviously if there are any health problems or adverse side effects contact a doctor. My friends and I have used this with very little complications, but I just want to put that disclaimer out there as all bodies are different and yours may react differently then ours. Feel free to ask a natropath/herbalist/physician/gynaecologist.
It can only be used up to 3 weeks after a missed period, but the sooner the better. I've done it within the first week of missing my period and it's always brought it back for me. The best time to start it is on the 1st or second day of the missed period.
You will need:
Fresh parsley (preferably organic...I don't want pesticides in my vagina, so I go organic)
500 mg pills/capsules of Vitamin C (DO NOT get pills with Bio-favinoids such as Rose Hips. These PREVENT miscarriage.)The treatment can last 3 days: DO NOT EXCEED 3 DAYS!! This will work or not within 2/3 days.
1. Insert a fresh sprig of parsley as far as possible into the vagina. (parsley induces contractions, yum) Change every 12 hours. When soft, it may be difficult to remove, but this is not dangerous.
2. At the same time, drink parsley infusions. 2 to 6 tablespoons 4 times a day.
Making an infusion: use 2 1/2 cups of boiling water for every ounce of parsley (If you buy it at the store, minus 2/3 stems (for sprigs) this should be the amount of water used to make the tincture). Add parsley to boiling water, remove from heat and cover. Very important that you remove from heat IMMEDIATELY upon adding the parsley. Boiling the water with the parsley in there will make the infusion less effective. Let it steep for at least 20 minutes (the longer it steeps, the more potent it will be. I usually let it steep for 2 hours.
3. During the 3 days (or until your period starts) take high doses of Vitamin C orally. Ideally, take 500 mg every hour up to 6000 mg. You can continue using the Vitamin C for up to 6 days. Vitamin C can bring on menstruation even 3 weeks after a "late" period. you can begin taking Vitamin C immediately after unsafe sex, or if the condom broke, etc.
If successful you should start to bleed in 2 to 3 days.
Notes:
-You may have cramps (I get 'em bad after doing this) and you can take whatever you usually take for cramps or make a ginger infusion and take that.
-The chances of success are less if you regularly take high doses of Vitamin C
-High amounts of Vitmain C can cause loose stools. No one I know has experienced this, but is has been known to happen.
-Do not use if you have kidney problems.I've often noticed that on the second night I start emanating heat. Seriously I feel like a space heater. This is ok, it's just a side effect of the high doses of Vit. C and to me signifies that it worked and I will get my period soon (generally that night/next morning)
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE PENNYROYAL. IT IS DEADLY AND DANGEROUS. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, DO NOT DO NOT, DO NOT USE IT!!!

Fact: Abortion can cause sterility, infection and even death. (and it happens more than you think)
Fact: For some people abortion can be mentally distressing and often can lead to depression (it doesn't matter if it was because the woman didn't make the right decision for herself, it doesn't matter if she later regrets her decision because she feels she was forced into the abortion, it is a fact)
Fact: Most women are not aware of how advanced the "unborn baby" (as I will call it because that is my opinion and how I look at it) is when they attain their abortion and when they later find out are shocked. A lot of women say they may have not gone through with the abortion if they knew the development of the unborn baby at the stage of pregnancy they were in when attaining the abortion.
Fact: Abortion clinics are coming under close scrutiny and some have been shut down for providing abortions that were not lawful. For hiding the fact that the "child" (under the age of 18) was indeed pregnant by statutory rape (they are required to report this).
Opinion: Abortion hurts women. This is the opinion I have come to. I think any medical procedure that denies women the whole truth before making the decision on the procedure HURTS the woman ultimately.
Opinion: Abortion hurts children. Abortion is the catalyst for how we look at our children. Yes, the unborn baby is dependent upon its mothers body for care and nourishment before it is born, but is it not also dependent on its care and nourishment AFTER it is born. A newborn baby cannot feed itself, dress itself, diaper itself. Abortion isn't about a right to your body as so many women say. It is about the resulting baby that comes after. So, may I ask, would you think it was wrong for a mother to "abort" her 1 week old infant? Would you think it was wrong for a mother to abort her 38 week gestation unborn baby? The difference is merely weeks, but the difference is also huge. One is legal and the other is not. So, in my opinion, abortion degrades the value we place on our children, our future.
Opinion: Abortion is a lie, told to women, to make them think that they are too weak to achieve great things while also being a mother. Anyone who tells me that abortion is a better decision for my body, my child, than parenting or adoption is saying to me that I am not strong enough to handle any of that. Abortion is, in fact, anti-feminism.
As a society, our rights only go so far. When our "rights" impose on the rights of another person, the line is drawn. In the case of Abortion, the unborn baby is not viewed as a person and I've never understood this. The unborn child has a separate DNA from that of its mother and it is indeed HUMAN DNA. Why wouldn't this be recognized as a person? Certainly it is. I know why the abortion rights activists lobby against laws that protect an unborn baby from an outside offender. Once those laws are in place it means that the unborn child is recognized as a person, as it should be, and a whole other world opens up. The argument being: How can the same "fetus" be recognized and protected by the law from outside violence, but not be recognized by the law in the case of abortion. Is it ok for the mother to commit an act of violence against her unborn baby by "choice" but not for someone else to? In other words, its ok for ME to kill my unborn child, but no one else. Its not even okay for me to harm my unborn child if I intend on carrying on the pregnancy (eg. drugs, alcohol) but it IS okay for me to terminate the life of that same child. It doesn't make sense. It is hypocritically flawed. Do you understand where I'm going with any of this? I don't understand how something can be a law when there are so many flaws in it. I am for overturning Roe Vs. Wade and leaving it up to the states again. I think the judicial system needs to hear the case again. They need to open it up. Especially since the last time they heard the case was in the 70's and the medical info we had on the unborn back then was next to nothing. The medical advances we have made since then should REQUIRE them to at least examine the evidence. Do you really like a law that is archaic? This will be my last post. Thanks for engaging me in a debate.
