Just in case the rest of the states fall to ignorance and stupidity the way South Dakota has, here's a description of how to perform an abortion. The actual post you can probably skim but the comments are fascinating.
In case you don't get all the way through the 200 plus comments to mine, I said that I appreciated the inclusion of the removal of the fetal body parts in the description. It's good to hear about that from a pro-choice source rather than from the grim reaper pacing back and forth in front of Planned Parenthood (When I lived in Texas I literally had to drive by him everyday. Yeeha!) Knowing that a somewhat formed pre-human (what does one call the fetus if one does not consider it fully human but also wants to be respectful. So much gray people. So much gray.) is being destroyed is why I am pro-CHOICE, not pro-abortion. If there were some way to stop pregnancy before it started (don't get me started on the morning after pill controversy or RU-486) and we didn't need abortions anymore no one in their right mind would be advocating for them. I think that is often what the most adamant pro-lifers don't get. I don't want to have to have an abortion and I'd have to think long and hard before I did, but if that is my last resort, that is my last resort. And don't give me adoption bullshit either. I happen to be white so maybe I could find a nice home for my child. But not everyone is white. Or middle class. Or healthy. Or had consensual sex.
So much gray.
