... Republicans politicians have passed abortion bans left and right this year, setting reproductive rights back nearly half a century: In the first four months of this year alone, lawmakers across 42 states introduced a grand total of 536 bills restricting access to abortions—86 of which effectively banned abortion outright...

...Currently, there are eight states that have either banned or are attempting to ban abortions a maximum of 15 weeks after a pregnancy.

Arizona -- Ducey signed a bill that goes into effect in late June
Florida -- DeSantis signed a bill that goes into effect July 1
Idaho -- state supreme court block, still allow argument from ID politicians
Mississippi -- in SCOTUS, decision due in June
Oklahoma -- Stitt signed a bill that goes into effect in August
South Dakota -- Noem signed a bill that is tied up in court, won't go into effect until injunction is lifted
Texas -- Abbott signed the bounty law on all abortion parties who could be sued by anyone anywhere

4. Just as a heads up, if you are in the early stages of pregnancy, DO NOT ingest the following:

as they can potentially induce a miscarriage, especially in their tea forms:

Mugwort
Yarrow
Queen Anne's Lace (aka wild carrot flowers and their seed pods)
Black and Blue Cohosh
Peppermint
Chamomile
Raspberry Leaf/red leaf tea
Large amounts of cinnamon
Oregano
Anise
Celery seeds
Pennyroyal
Angelica
Wormwood

Call it dangerous pseudoscience if you need to.

Or get Plan B. Because true pro-lifers care about your life.

5. Thank you for posting this. One of those herbs in particular is very troubling

Queen Anne's Lace (Wild Carrot) grows everywhere in the Eastern US, and looks very similar to Hemlock, which is a deadly poison. It's very easy to confuse the two:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conium

The best way to tell the difference is that the stems and leaves of Queen Anne's Lace are covered with small soft hairs, giving them a fuzzy appearance. The leaves and stems of Hemlock are smooth and hairless.

6. Thanks, Trailrider.

I was being tongue-in-cheek in presenting the do-it-yourself natural abortifacients list. But the hemlock/Queen Anne's Lace mistake could be deadly, so thank you for pointing that out.
