Abortion Information Women's Counseling Service 808 EAST FRANKLIN AVENUE MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55404 TELEPHONE 339-5479 339-3335 TUES. WED. THURS. NOON TO 9 P.M. FRIDAY & SATURDAY NOON TO 6 P.M. As far as the abortion contacts: we recommend Manhattan Medical for an early abortion in New York. We have nothing to recommend for 12-14 week pregnancies. For the last year we had been using Los Angeles and Chicago underground for d&c's, but we have had too many infections come back and thus discontinued them last week. So we have nothing to offer between 12-16 weeks as of today. Between 16-20 weeks a woman can always get a saline but they always cost a fortune because they involve a hospital stay. Dr. Sinnreict is as good and as cheap as any. VACUUM ASPIRATOR ABORTIONS UNDER TWELVE WEEKS FROM LAST MENSTRUAL PERIOD: ________________ East Side Medical Group 133 East 73rd St., Manhattan, NYC phone: 1-212-249-3122 $165-$200 Good clinic; has huge patient load. ____________ Midwest Medical Group (Doctor Keenan) 5520 Medical Center Road, Madison, Wisc. phone: 1-608-274-1944 Good place but very difficult to get into. ________ Manhattan Medical Group $150 136 125th st, West, Manhattan, NYC during office hours: 1-212-666-7427 all inclusive including transportation from clinic, sympathetic to Women's Liberation Located in the heart of Harlem. Wonderful contacts. Operated by Black people. Fee airport to clinic and back. Are you on the Pill? There are many different brands of the birth control pill. You should use a brand containing the least possible amount of estrogen. Estrogen and progesterone are the two female hormones that make up all birth control pills. Medical studies have shown estrogen to cause most side effects to the Pill. Such side effects are usually harmless and temporary; however, a small number of women taking the Pill do experience dangerous complications. Not more than .05 milligrams of estrogen in each tablet is necessary to ensure 100% contraceptive protection. The following brands of the birth control pill contain not more than .05 milligrams of estrogen in each tablet: Demulen 1 Demulen .5 Norlestrin 1 Norlestin 2.5 Norinyl 1 (all registered Ortho-Novum 1/50 trademarks) Ovral To ensure your own health while on the Pill: 1. Have a gynecological examination at least once a year. 2. Use a brand of the Pill that contains not more than .05 milligrams of estrogen in each tablet. For further information, contact: Birth Control Handbook or P.O. Box 1000, station "G" Montreal 130, Quebec, Canada phone: (514) 844-5838 FOR SALINE ABORTIONS (SALINE INJECTION; BETWEEN 16-20 WEEKS FROM LAST MENSTRUAL PERIOD): Dr. Sinnreicht $400+$100 for emergency Manhattan, NYC Park Chester Hospital (Park Avenue off Westchester) Call 1-212-589-2233 and talk with Monica Steiner, his secretary, for information and appointment. Self-Defense For Hitchhiking [hand drawn images] When you are hitchhiking, be prepared. Don't get into a car with more than one male. Look them over. Carry your comb or your keys ready in your hand. A key jabbed in his eye or a comb scraped across the ear, throat or eye is a good defense. If he grabs your leg or groin, don't bother to push away his hands. Either grab his little finger and yank it back to break it or jab him in the eyes: Using your first two fingers as prongs. Bend your middle finger so there will be equal contact and with a quick snake-like motion of your forearm jab him in the eyes. Don't waste your energy in useless ways like beating on his chest or trying to wriggle free from a bear hug. When you get into the car, light up a cigarette. It is a useful weapon. If you get into trouble, put your cigarette out in his face. Another defense is the knuckle punch to the neck. Curl the first two joints of your fingers downs so that the third section of your fingers makes a flat surface with the back of your hand. Drive your knuckles into your attacker's wind pipe. Or drive the palm of your hand up into his nose. Page Twelve Vol. 1 No. 14 Ain't I
