Molly Saves The Day? Nope, But I'll Save You From Molly

A new low on the part of those on the left?

Probably not.

You know, every day I see more depravity and insanity on the part of the left and frankly it's getting depressing.

Case in point: Can't get an abortion in your home town? No problem! A liberal/fem-nazi blogger in the US has provided instructions so that you and a friend can perform the procedure at home. Her blog is called "Molly Saves The Day" She provides a list of the equipment needed:

You will need:

One set of uterine dilators (any equipment may be purchased from numerous websites. If you need assistance in finding this equipment, do not hesitate to email me at molly.blythe@gmail.com)
Vaginal speculum
Pregnancy test
One set of uterine curettes
One pair of uterine forceps
One pair of regular forceps
Sterile bags for medical instruments and medical waste
A course of antibiotics
Sedative medication
Pressure cooker
Container of bleach solution: one part chlorine bleach to 10 parts water
Strong soap
Sterile latex gloves
Water-based lubricant
Maxi pads
Clean plastic sheeting and towels
Exam table
Wet wipes


She also takes you through the procedure step by step:

[...]

The first step is to break the membrane holding the fetus inside. You can feel around with the forceps for it. To get an idea of what each part looks like -- and to see the texture so that you understand better how it will feel -- I recommend looking at books with photographs of first trimester fetuses (personal recommendation for its astonishing photographs: A Child is Born), The membrane should be easily broken with the forceps. Depending on how far along the pregnancy is, varying quantities of clear or pinkish fluid may come from the vagina. As you grasp the sac with your forceps, twist it away so that it detaches. You will now need to remove small pieces of fetal material and membrane from the uterus with the forceps. Some of these pieces will be distinctly identifiable as fetal material. Save the material until the end of the procedure on a piece of plastic, so that you can be sure the entire fetus has been removed. If doing this sounds too ethically challenging, remember that fetuses do not have the capacity to feel actual pain until the third trimester. You are not "hurting" it, and it has no awareness, nor the capacity for awareness, that you are extracting it.

This portion of the abortion procedure should not be particularly painful for the patient.

While you are removing fetal material, you will also be removing pieces of placenta. However, because the placenta is attached to the uterine wall -- and because it is the blood source for the baby -- bleeding may begin at this time. It is imperative that if bleeding begins at this point in the procedure, you do NOT stop. Stopping the procedure and attempting to stanch the bleeding will not work. The bleeding will stop on its own once the placenta is totally removed from the uterus. It may be scary, but keep going.

What this woman has posted is not the sariest part however. What's really scary is her supporters, in the comments thread, asking her to put it into a downloadable pdf format c/w illustrations.

    I think the pubic shaving suggestion can be disregarded- it's an outdated practice that isn't done anymore except for csections, and even then they only shave a little bit. I've had a LEEP and a d&c and was not shaved for either.

    Maybe you could make this infomation into pdfs and make them downloadable so that women's groups can have little booklets of information.

    The reason I still recommend shaving is that this is for unexperienced practitioners. Some women may have enough pubic hair that it becomes difficult to see the cervix, and if someone's doing one of their first procedures they don't need any additional problems! :)


I could go on and on about why abortion at home is a bad idea but I think most of us already know these things. Instead, I'm going to provide a simple 2-step process to avoid having to go through the procedure altogether:

Step 1. Keep your pants on.

Step 2. Repeat step 1.

See how simple that is?

Now, it would seem that someone had already proposed this to our new friend Molly and she didn't take to it very well at all:

"...Anyone else referring to women as "skanks," "whores" or saying ANY variant of "keep her legs shut" unless they are absolutely and clearly in jest? You will not be tolerated.
[...]
Playtime is over, fuckers. You want to go around calling women whores? Find your own kind at Free Republic or some other place where dickwads like you hang out. From now on, this blog is Feminist Friendly, and any comments that aren't will be screened out..."


I'd like to ask, honestly, what kind of feminist would discourage abstenance and encourage women to have the "at home abortion"? It would seem to me that this woman is all about promoting risk rather than safety.

It really is a sad comment on the state of the left.
