Do-it-yourself abortion manual a sick scare tactic

A liberal pro-abortion activist has posted on her blog "explicit directions" for a do-it-yourself surgical abortion, ostensibly "in reaction to the new South Dakota law all but banning the procedure," which was signed into law by Governor Mike Rounds on March 6.
The author is a 21-year-old Florida "former journalist turned phone sex operator" whose blog tackles "feminist issues, liberal talk and news analysis."

The post is called "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."

"If anyone has a problem with this and they don't think non-doctors should perform medical procedures," she wrote, "there's a simple way to guarantee that won't happen: Make sure Roe v. Wade is not overturned."
