    Perfectly safe … apart from the liver and neurological damage.

    It works as an aborficant because it’s toxic, and there’s no way to accurately control the dose in homemade “tea” even if the user somehow knows what the “safe” does for their body is.

    If it’s the only option: it get it. But using it for an abortion when infinitely more effective and safer medications are available is insane.

      Not when used as tea it is safe as was reported in the National Institute of Health before they pulled the article on replaced it with a fear mongering one about five years back.

      The anti-abortion people are equating use of the tea with use of the oil.
