A blogger has added fresh fuel to the abortion debate that divides the US by posting online detailed instructions on how to perform such an operation. She said she had received death threats as a result.

The blogger, who uses the pseudonym Molly Blythe, said she was inspired to post the abortion guide after the recent signing of legislation in South Dakota that outlaws abortion, even in cases of rape and incest. The only exception to the law would be if the woman's life was threatened if she continued the pregnancy.

Ms Blythe said: "Myself and some friends have been collecting this information for the past couple of years because we believed that Roe vs Wade [the 1973 Supreme Court case that affords women the right to an abortion] was not going to be around for ever."

The guide, titled "For the Women of South Dakota: An Abortion Manual", lists the equipment required and the procedure to follow to carry out a dilation and curettage abortion.

Ms Blythe said: "My philosophy is if you don't want to have an abortion, don't have one. But people have the right to know exactly what is involved."

We must continue to keep choice legal, but failing that, we will all need this info. Bravo Molly!

Menstrual extraction is the process of removing menses from the uterus before athletic events, honeymoons or camping etc when a period would be inconvenient.

It also safely removes the fertilized egg up to seven weeks. Google "menstrual extraction" "Sister Zeus" or read A womans Book of Choices.

Menstrual extraction can be taught to be safely done by medical professionals such as midwives and nurses. A Del-Em kit can be made from common household items such as a pickle jar and plastic tubing. Other parts such as cannula and a one way bypass valve can be ordered from medical supply houses.

Sister Zeus has TONS of into on finding women to help you start a self help group to do and receive menstrual extraction. A womans Book of Choices explains how to make a Del Em kit and how to SAFELY do menstrual extraction with strict hygenic standards.
