Witness describes abortion to members of Congress in testimony

Jul 19, 2022
 

Following a series of congressional hearings on the impacts of the end of Roe v Wade, including stories from people who have had abortions, an abortion rights advocate explained in powerful testimony how people can self-manage their medication abortions. The explanation appears to be the first-ever testimony to Congress showing how to use abortion pills outside of a traditional medical setting. “It is one mifepristone pill followed by four misoprostol[s], dissolved under the tongue, 24-48 hours later, or a series of 12 misoprostol pills, four at a time, dissolved under the tongue every three hours,” Renee Bracey Sherman said. She added: “I share that to exercise my right to free speech, because there are organisations and legislators who want to make what I just said a crime.”
