    There are very few first person accounts of what it felt like to have an abortion 100 years ago. I found one. #MLA19 #AHA19https://medium.com/@cprender/what-an-abortion-felt-like-in-1907-10246f91a743 …

        I just keep thinking tansy from Angela's story was that intentional? I wonder. Also why my mom is staunchly pro-choice she knew girls that had to go the scary back alley route in high school pre-Roe

        Tansy was indeed in regular circulation! As was awful other stuff. But pennyroyal was also big. And yes, my mother has those stories too.

        Have you read Jean Rhys' Voyage In The Dark? It has a first person account of an abortion in 1914 - it is based on Rhys's own experience of an abortion that year.

        I recommend Dr Sandra McAvoy's research too - it focuses on Ireland and the UK. Many accounts from the same period.

        A dearly loved friend has used this experience by women of today as a reason to support overturning Roe v Wade. Women deserve the same right to privacy in medical decisions as men...period. That point needs to be drilled!

        I got no comeback when I said that to support a woman freedom of choice except that women aren’t informed about the procedure 🤔. It’s just a circular argument at that point. 🙁

        While Sanger opposed abortion herself, she would publish letters from women pleading for abortions, because at the time birth control was illegal. https://pictorial.jezebel.com/margaret-sanger-regularly-published-letters-from-women-1792476374/amp …

        Growing up, there was a photo of a young woman hanging in our foyer taken around 1900. She's a relative (I forget how she's related) who died of a botched abortion. My grandma was named after her. I always admired that that bit of family history was never covered up.
