Title:: [[A Termination]] Authors:: [[Honor Moore]] Tags:: #memoir Read:: [[2025-01-04]] Instagram :: ## Editions - Edition:: [[A Public Space Books]], First Edition, 2024 - Original Copyright:: 2024 - Pages:: 132 ## Purchase * Bookshop.org:: https://bookshop.org/a/94437/9798985976922 ## Annotations Today I learned about the rabbit test (or Friedman test) - an early pregnancy test that involves injecting a woman’s urine into a rabbit, euthanizing the rabbit, then dissecting the rabbit to examine whether its ovaries were enlarged (if yes, then the woman is pregnant). This was less than a hundred years ago. Incredible.  Learned this thanks to Moore’s memoir about her abortion, which took place in 1969. It’s more a psychological examination of her experience, and yet, it’s impossible not to notice the legal and cultural regressions happening around us today.
