I really really hope this was just a stunt.
‘This Would Be My Third Abortion’: Pregnant Activist Takes Abortion Pill On Live TV | The Daily Wire
My argument has always been against Roe as law, not for making abortion completely illegal. To me it should always be available for therapeutic/medical reasons, and I don't have much of an issue it being legal for say the 1st trimester for any reason. Cases of rape are covered by my being OK with 1st trimester elective abortions.
Issues of things like Downs syndrome are more complex, and I haven't made up my mind on that yet. Of course if you can detect it in the 1st trimester, then I guess my worries are moot.
I also support parental notification laws, as well as any elective abortion not being covered by insurance if the insurance company doesn't want to cover it. Also no government funding for elective abortions. if PP wants to support it, they can subsidize it. They get enough in donations.
But this deliberate act, coupled with the fact it would be her THIRD time doing it, makes my skin crawl. Did she deliberately get pregnant just to do this?
I remember when abortion rights activists used to used the term "legal, safe and rare". Now it seems to be treated almost like a sacrament.

“I want to show you how easy it is, and how safe it is, by taking it myself,” Blackmore said before taking a mifepristone pill — which, alongside another substance called misoprostol, is used by millions of Americans to murder babies in the earlier stages of gestation.
“Are you … you’re not pregnant, are you?” Langton asked. “I would say that this is going to end a pregnancy,” Blackmore replied. “This would be my third abortion.”
Blackmore told NBC News that she was, in fact, pregnant.
