[FRIAM] self-care

[Sarbajit Roy]

The hypocrisy of the US govts is amazing.

For decades they have been desperately promoting pill based self induced
abortions as "safe" abortions in India and Latin America through their
puppets like the Guttmacher Institiute and by using misrepresentations and
outright lies.

These pills are highly toxic / carcinogenic and Guttmacher was caught red
handed by us for using fake accounts on Wikipedia to shape the "self
induced abortion" article to depict it as safe and as an at-home remedy. We
got Guttmacher delisted in India for about a year, but they made their way
back through the USAID RMNCHA programs used to bribe foreign government
servants to shape policy
