Ebook: A Woman’s Book of Choices: Abortion, menstrual extraction, RU-486

The New Our Bodies, Ourselves calls menstrual extraction (ME) "a
powerful example of medical research done by women on and for
ourselves." As the safest and most effective of the techniques that
can be performed on women by women, independently of any legal
restrictions that may be imposed on licensed doctors in the coming
months and years, menstrual extraction is today at the center of the
raging abortion debate, serving both symbolically and practically as
the line of first defense against recent rollbacks of women's reproductive
rights in the nation's courts. A Woman's Book of Choices
chronicles the history of ME, the currently accepted standard of ME
practice, and its legal ramifications, and offers accounts of actual
ME procedures. It also describes the whole range of other abortion
alternatives, from state-of-the-art clinical abortions to folk remedies,
for women who may be considering terminating a pregnancy.
In addition, there is a comprehensive chapter that is directed
to medical personnel who may be providing abortion care, and a
chapter on the French-developed abortion pill,RU-486.
