Organizers Plan For Post-Roe Mississippi With Self-Managed Abortion Education

[TexasTowelie]

JACKSON, Miss.—The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear Mississippi’s challenge to Roe v. Wade for more than a month, but leading abortion-rights organizers say they are not holding out hope for a favorable ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Instead, they are preparing for a post-Roe Mississippi.

Most abortions, they expect, will soon become illegal across the South, and people will either have to travel far out of state to obtain abortions or else learn to safely perform their own.

“I am upset, of course, but being upset is not going to stop anything,” Mississippi In Action Executive Director Valencia Robinson told the Mississippi Free Press following an abortion-rights rally that she helped lead in Jackson on Oct. 2. “What we have to do is educate our community on what happens when Roe v. Wade is overturned.”

Those planned education efforts would include teaching people how to safely perform self-managed abortions, which take place outside of a clinic setting and without medical approval.

1. Oh no, that is horrendous!

That's going back to the days of wire coat hangers back alley abortion nightmares, where too many young women kill themselves and/or ruin their ability to ever have children through this process. This is what I and other women my age faced up until 1970.

I am not aware, other than the morning after pills, of an even remotely safe way to self abort. My heart is just breaking for the young women of our country and filled with hate for the right wing fascist asses who hate us & want to control everything about us.
