This method has been emplyed enough to get it listed as a common form of self-induced abortion on wikipedia:
Quote:
There are a number of anecdotally recorded and disseminated methods of performing a self-induced abortion. These may include:- physical exertion designed to bring about a miscarriage
- abdominal massage
- receiving punches, kicks, or other blows to the abdominal area
- attempted removal of the fetus with a coat-hanger or similar device inserted into the uterus through the cervix (the historical use of this method has led to the use of coathangers as a symbol of the abortion rights movement, which associates self-induced abortion with the illegality of abortion)
- attempted piercing of the fetus with a knitting needle or similar device inserted into the uterus through the cervix
- suction through the insertion of a rubber tube into the uterus via the cervix
- ingesting abortifacients, high quantities of vitamin C, Pennyroyal or other substances believed to induce miscarriage
- douching with substances believed to induce miscarriage (beginning in the 1960s, many women used Coca Cola for this purpose, although its utility is at least dubious)

Of course, I don't know if she is guilty or not, but it possible. All you need is a hanger, and a dream.
