- Coincoin 10y agoFrom your link: "These incidents only result in damage to the vagina from the corrosive action of the chemical, since potassium permanganate was proven to be ineffective in producing abortions."
- quakeguy 10y agoYikes, what the hell?!?
- sdenton4 10y agoBasically a textbook reason for having abortion services available for all...
- quietmonkey 10y agoOr just... education?
- knowaveragejoe 10y agoWhy not both?
- darpa_escapee 10y agoDesperate people are going to do desperate things, things that they know are bad or won't work. Especially if the only option that does work is taken away.
- Fomite 10y ago"Don't try to flush out your vagina with potassium permanganate" is...very specific education. And horrific folk remedies like this show up all the time where abortion isn't legalized - "educating" would be a game of whack-a-mole.
