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. So now women will have do it yourself OB-GYN care. Maybe we can do our mammograms at home too.

2. Radical right wing's idea of "freedom".

Only for women, of course.

3. Yep, women now have total freedom from OB-GYN care.

Men can get whatever care or meds they need, no questions asked.

4. We were talking/doing the same during the 60's and 70's. Between the feminist health

care clinics, the Underground Railroad, etc.

As was pointed out, if a woman on every block was trained to perform abortions, were they going to lock us all up? Sadly, these woman-hating, gestational slaving, oh-so-devout lovers of life would do just that if they could.
