If these are unregulated medical devices (as I assume from the article), what is keeping people from buying them on the internet and using them on all their friends?

The book "Our Bodies, Our Selves," published several times in the last 30 years, used to describe how women could use the manual vacuums on themselves and friends for "menstrual regulation." (I haven't read the book's newer editions.)

http://www.amazon.com/Our-Bodies-Ourselves-New-Era/dp/0743256115/sr=8-1/qid=1157165162/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-7946929-2336114?ie=UTF8&s=books

The surface story was to have shorter or no periods, which would be ethical if there were no pregnancy/fertilization/risk of killing a brand new child.

The feminists who wrote that first book actually did me a favor. When I realized they were saying, but not telling me about what they were saying, I learned an important lesson.

While we can have intersections of common ground, the basics of ethics must predominate. The right not to be killed is the priority of ethics.

The fact anyone would encourage an abortifacient procedure and not admit what they were advocating, that they not only not tell the whole truth, but would *redefine terms* in order to hid what they were doing, was a hard lesson. But it's one that's been repeated over and over through the years.
