Is it common when women who can’t find abortion clinics try to kill the fetus on their own?

[Anonymous]

Now I’m not trying to judge here, but in the past I have seen some women who didn’t want their babies as soon as they found out they got pregnant. That they obviously yet secretly tried to kill the fetus by:

-constantly taking over the counter medications

-not following a proper diet plan to keep the baby healthy

-smoking and drinking

That during the process, they begin spotting like they’re on their periods and over time they have miscarriages.

But what really confuses me, is once they have miscarriages they cry and tell friends and family members looking for sympathy. That it’s hard to sympathize with the situation when they knew what they were doing.

So, is this behavior common?

Having an abortion and not feeling sick from it must be like having an orgasm and not getting high from it. I imagine they will cry about it most of the time. ﾠ

As for the question title, I'd say in my view there is no difference between clinically done and homemade abortion, they should do whatever works for them. Deliberate miscarriage and abortion are one and the same.

But to me, abortions would be equivalent to castrating myself so I don't have to deal with the sex drive and risk having to invest into children. Even then I assume an urge for relationships and parenting exists, even without a penis. Any eunuchs here have experience to share? Maybe @Charliefretz329 would appreciate an opinion from eunuchs.

Prior to Roe v Wade there were "back-alley abortions" in the USA. Some were done by doctors who disagreed with the laws, some by nurses, some by amateurs. Obviously they were more dangerous for the mother without the proper facilities and sanitary conditions, but that's what you get when you pass laws like that.

You ask if it was "common", but I don't know how to answer that. I don't know the numbers that reflect how many women found a way to abort the fetus vs how many chose not to, even if they wanted to.

Yes, which is why pro-choice advocates prioritize the importance of being able to have abortions to begin with. Outlawing abortions doesn’t stop fetal deaths, it only stops the safe procedures where the mother doesn’t attempt something worse that could permanently damage herself. Miscarriages, planned or not, are incredibly traumatizing experiences to go through, not to mention painful. Whether she wanted the baby or not, forcing a miscarriage is not the answer and incredibly damaging to the psyche and body depending on how they go about it. Just because they didn’t want the baby doesn’t mean they don’t deserve sympathy and your questions suggests they deserve none of it which is unbelievably heartless.

Of course, those murderers try every way to kill the baby.

I'm sure there are women who do that, but I don't now how common it is.

That's one of the arguments against banning abortion... that it will increase the number of dangerous abortions that are harmful to the woman.

They will try to do it themselves but to cry if they are successful would be crazy
