I am not joking when I say that women used to try ridiculous things to miscarry— drinking turpentine, purposefully falling down stairs, starving, purging, taking poisons, etc. It doesn’t matter what the reasons were— they were serious enough to do things like this.

I’ve read accounts of women inserting small explosives into their vaginas. Like, actual accounts, from doctors and nurses who tried to save them (spoiler alert: trying to blow up your womb will kill you).
When abortion was illegal, women put explosives in their vaginas. ANY anti-choice argument is invalid.
