The Hypocritical Left: Taking 'Horse Pill' For COVID Was Evil, But Taking One For Abortion Is Righteous?

After the news indicating the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court, VICE’s Jason Koebler issued an article advertising “do it yourself” guidance on how women can make abortion pills at home.

In the piece published Tuesday, Koebler wrote that the abortion-inducing ingredient misoprostol is used to treat horses' ulcers. Critics stressed the irony, given the previous reporting by VICE, which insisted that Joe Rogan “spread misinformation” regarding Ivermectin, “the horse-deworming drug he took” when the podcaster contracted COVID.

In the piece, Koebler encouraged women to continue to seek abortions regardless of whether or not the procedure is legal in their state. He linked to a video by the Four Thieves Vinegar Collective as an instance of the more radical methods some might turn to.

The publishing date for the video is September 2021. The video’s speaker, Michael Laufer, announced he felt like he needed to make the 17-minute explainer as a reaction to the “heartbeat” bill that had gone into effect in Texas. A majority of the video is dedicated to Laufer discussing the difficulties in acquiring a substance like misoprostol and cautioning that underground dealers of mifepristone might give counterfeit goods.

After VICE presented and explained the contents of the video, they added a disclaimer: “Motherboard cannot speak to the safety of making your own pills, and some have criticized the Four Thieves Vinegar Collective in the pharmaceutical and medical establishment who think that making DIY medicine isn’t safe under any circumstances.”

The article continues to lament how in a “Progressive” and “just” world, abortions would be freely available. It came as a surprise to the Washington Post that the rest of the world is more restrictive regarding abortions than the U.S. “If Roe is overturned, we are going to see more people seeking DIY abortion methods, which will include making their own abortion pills,” VICE cautioned.

It’s presently unclear how a December 2021 FDA choice to make by-mail abortion pill access the latest developments will impact a permanent fixture.

Meanwhile, an initial draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by Politico declares that the Supreme Court has voted to overturn the landmark abortion ruling, Roe v Wade.

According to that outlet, the opinion is a “full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision,” which made abortion legal nationwide. The legality of abortion was upheld in a 1992 decision known as Casey.

Part of that draft ruling states that “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.”
