"PLEASE COMMENT WAYS TO HOME ABORT"; A TIK TOK TREND LIKE NO OTHER 

February 2021

To the tune of ‘Say I Yi Yi’; a song more commonly associated with a twerk-based dance routine, user ‘tryingoutahomeabort’ places a packet of chamomile tea onto a pretty, paisley print bedspread. “I accidentally got pregnant so here’s me trying at home abortions.” she captions it. The tone is lighthearted, almost comedic. There is a suburban, homely tint to the video. Perhaps it is the teenage bedsheet. Yet this subtly masks the worrying intent of the video. It is one of many, originating from teenage bedrooms, seeping through TikTok’s algorithm onto our ‘for you’ pages.
