Presented at
HOPE 2020 Virtual Rescheduled,
July 29, 2020, 11:30 p.m.
(60 minutes).
Attendees will learn more about first trimester abortion, strategies to circumvent anti-abortion legislation, and have the opportunity to learn how to construct an improvised manual vacuum aspiration device used for menstrual extraction/menstrual regulation. This non-medical workshop will not teach how to perform abortions, but will focus on the surprisingly simple, inexpensive, and accessible equipment necessary to construct a device capable of terminating an early pregnancy safely, as well as convey the risks involved. Attendees will receive a supply list and step-by-step instructions and diagrams to construct a "Del Em."
_This workshop accompanies the talk, "Hackers in a Post Roe v. Wade World."_
