My roommate's abortion, attempt 1

04/16/2009

The weather here jumps from blistering to frigid, like the relationships in the busy bustling bohemian blend of a compound that the house of Why is becoming. The visitors bring drama and crowding, but it beats cable.

My roommate Redhair girl is working on an abortion. This is partly because Sniper Guy is avoiding her completely and partly because she is concerned about birth defects resulting from her STD outbreaks with conception, the medications she has taken through the pregnancy, and her regular alcohol use which continues to this day.

The problem with her doing so is that Redhair girl seems intellectually crippled by her Christian education, so her process to make this happen has been abnormal, dangerous, and random. She feels that she would be more comfortable if she can cause a miscarriage through some means rather than having to go to a medical center to have a procedure.

So she looked up some info on the internet and took a large dose of Pennyroyal Oil with an olive oil mixer. Pennyroyal can cause contractions which will abort a fetus and has been used throughout history to do so. However there are some problems with her approach:

1. You are supposed to make tea, not drink the oil. The oil is a deadly toxin, 1 Tsp of the oil will kill you. She took 1/2 teaspoon, then another 1/2 teaspoon 1 hour later.

2. She waited about 8 weeks after she found out about the pregnancy to try anything. If she would have gone to Planned Parenthood when she found out there are medication options at that phase.


We tried to talk her into just going for a procedure rather than risking her life, but she is stubborn. In the end she took the oil, slept overnight, did not die, and is still pregnant. She spilled a bit in our cabinet and now all our crackers smell toxic.

Her next plan is to take massive doses of vitamin C, which can cause abortion in the early stages of pregnancy, but can also cause kidney stones and other health complications whether you are pregnant or not. She says if that does not work she will go to a medical center. We are trying to talk her into just going now instead of doing stupid things, but she is one of those people who do not listen when they have made up their mind about something.

So I'm sitting in the sunshine, eating poisoned crackers and waiting for the next wave of visitors to bring in quotes from bad horror movies, the latest party favors and old guitars, hoping my roommate will survive her own ignorance. How are things in your household?

What an idiot... at this rate she'll wind up giving birth to a child with no limbs and a full set of teeth.

Whether or not it's going against her beliefs, she needs to go to a clinic if she absolutely doesn't want to have this baby.
And that's a lot coming from me, because I don't believe in abortions.

But she's going to end up doing a lot of damage to herself, as well as the growing life inside her.
Not only that, but in doing this HERSELF, she's going to have a lot of guilt on her shoulders for the rest of her life.

Why is she to christian to get an abortion....
But yet think it's ok to go ahead and kill the baby on her own?
I don't get that.
