"A Detroit activist who went viral this week after taking an abortion pill live while doing a local news interview said it was not a gimmick and that they did it to demonstrate "the ease and effectiveness of the medication."
Jex Blackmore, who uses they/them pronouns, appeared on a segment of WJBK FOX 2 Detroit's “Let It Rip" on Sunday to discuss abortion access with host Charlie Langton and Rebecca Kiessling, an advocate and lawyer brought on to argue the antiabortion stance.
During the segment, which was widely shared online, Blackmore holds up a tablet of the hormone blocker mifepristone. “I want to show you how easy it is, and how safe it is, by taking it myself,” they say before downing the pill with a sip of water."*
