DESCRIPTION:Attendees will learn more about first trimester abortion\, stra
tegies to circumvent anti-abortion legislation\, and have the opportunity
to learn how to construct an improvised manual vacuum aspiration device us
ed for menstrual extraction/menstrual regulation. This non-medical worksho
p will not teach how to perform abortions\, but will focus on the surprisi
ngly simple\, inexpensive\, and accessible equipment necessary to construc
t a device capable of terminating an early pregnancy safely\, as well as c
onvey 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. Wa
de World."\;_

DESCRIPTION:As the war on abortion gains momentum and the future status of
Roe v. Wade is in question\, it becomes imperative that the knowledge of h
ow to safely terminate a pregnancy be protected and effectively disseminat
ed to those in need. Although abortion is a common and safe medical proced
ure\, political controversy and deliberate misinformation campaigns by the
pro-life movement have clouded the practical aspects of pregnancy termina
tion. By learning what abortion entails\, we can better understand what ki
nd of tools\, information\, and medical privacy are at stake by extensive
government overreach into personal healthcare decisions from the erosion o
f abortion access through targeted regulations of abortion providers.\n\nI
n addition to legal battles challenging the status of abortion\, activists
and providers face significant risks for their work\, making it necessary
to engage in surveillance and counter surveillance activities to protect
against doxxing\, harassment\, stalking\, arson\, and even homicide. Hacke
rs are uniquely positioned to understand and enhance security protocols to
protect individuals and networks involved in abortion access and procurem
ent.\n\nGiven that abortion remains legal in the United States at this tim
e\, it is a best practice that someone in need of an abortion seek medical
counsel and clinical support to terminate a pregnancy. As such\, funding
and support strategies used to assist individuals with limited access will
be detailed to ensure the best possible outcomes for anyone in need of ab
ortion. This talk will neither explain how to perform an abortion nor any
other medical procedure\, but will discuss the history of underground abor
tion\, how self-managed abortion functions in complex legal contexts today
\, what we might expect from the web-based sale and distribution of medica
tions used to terminate a pregnancy going forward\, and how abortions were
performed prior to the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling\, with particular focus on
how manual vacuum aspiration devices were reverse engineered by non-medic
al activists to produce the “Del Em” device used by underground aborti
on networks.
