It's addressed to the women of South Dakota, and the writer is not writing satire. She's about information, and informed choices. This is scary stuff, and sounds real. Why do I publish this link? I'm a writer, and I never know when knowledge will aid a story -- or a life.
Also, as one commenter put it: If US politicians understand that we are serious about the need for choice, it may keep abortion a legal choice. Safe, rare, and legal -- that's what I think it should be. But South Dakota is about to change that.
Warning -- this is specific writing about how to perform a D&C. Do NOT follow this URL if you are not prepared for clinical description.

I'd hoped that we would never need this information again. Several friends have been forced to have abortions -- because of tubal pregnancies, contraception failures, or life-threatening health. It's a sad place to be, but I would be even sadder if the two whose lives were threatened had died of their pregnancies.
Knowledge is power. So is prayer. We need both.
