Aajonus's Definition
Aajonus did not frame abortion as a "condition" in the disease sense. He addressed it as a natural procedure that a woman might choose to perform on herself, or that could occur naturally (miscarriage). He distinguished between:
- Intentional abortion: A deliberate act to terminate a pregnancy, achievable through natural herbal methods he described in detail.
- Miscarriage: A spontaneous abortion, which he referenced as a possible side effect of certain foods or hormonal disruptions (see miscarriage entries, including the role of moldy blackberries).
He approached the subject from a bodily sovereignty standpoint, a woman's body and its processes belong to her, and provided practical natural protocols rather than directing women toward medical procedures. In his framework, because the body is best served by natural interventions rather than pharmaceutical or surgical ones, he presented herbal methods as preferable alternatives to clinical abortion procedures.

Root Cause
Aajonus did not frame unwanted pregnancy as a pathology with a "root cause" in the terrain theory sense. However, he addressed the cause of unintended pregnancy directly and forcefully in his seminars, placing the primary responsibility on the male:
"Any man who does not take responsibility for getting a woman pregnant is a bad guy. Because he put the seed in her. It isn't the woman's responsibility. If he can't pull before he ejaculates, it is his fault that a woman gets pregnant. And he should have his balls cut off if that woman didn't want to get pregnant."
Aajonus Vonderplanitz
He further demolished the medical myth of pre-ejaculatory conception:
"They don't even have to pull out if they hold on to the scrotum."
Aajonus Vonderplanitz
He explained that he had analyzed the pre-secretions of at least 20 men and found that all pre-ejaculatory fluid contains urine. The purpose of this pre-flow, he stated, is to clean the urine out of the urethra, because the ammonia created by the kidneys will kill sperm, not just kill them but kill part of them and completely paralyze all the rest. Therefore, sperm cannot swim if they were exposed to urine in the pre-flow. This means the pre-ejaculatory fluid actually destroys sperm rather than delivering viable ones.
His conclusion: "The only way you can get pregnant is if a man ejaculates into you. Period."
He cited tribal knowledge as confirmation:
"In a tribe, you can't have a baby unless the whole tribe agrees to it. Do they go around with prophylactics and birth control? They know that unless you ejaculate into your woman, that she's not going to get pregnant. Yet, they still have sex."
Aajonus Vonderplanitz
He framed the entire contraceptive industry, prophylactics, birth control pills, as a profit-driven medical myth built on the false claim that pre-ejaculatory fluid can cause pregnancy. He stated he personally had not ejaculated into a woman except during menstruation in 46–47 years and had never caused a pregnancy.

Why This Happens
This subject falls most directly under the Sovereignty of Aajonus's framework, the right of individuals, and especially women, to make decisions about their own bodies without government or medical interference. It also intersects with:
- How to Live: Natural herbal protocols as an alternative to medical procedures.
- Root Cause / Terrain Theory: The body's natural ability to expel an unwanted fetus when given the right natural stimuli (herbs, foods).
- Cooked Food: Implied throughout, the herbal methods he describes are all raw or minimally processed (cold-pressed oils, tinctures, raw mineral water).
His political statement on the Roe v. Wade threat (January 20, 2002) places abortion squarely in the Sovereignty, framing it not merely as a personal health choice but as a societal and legal matter with direct health consequences when illegal (disease, death, poverty from back-alley procedures).

Symptoms Reframed
Because abortion in Aajonus's framework is a deliberate procedure rather than a pathological state, the "symptoms" he addresses are the anticipated physiological responses to the herbal abortion methods he describes:
"Have remedies for hemorrhage ready. At first signs of miscarriage, begin taking hemorrhage remedies to prevent radical infection and excessive bleed."
Aajonus Vonderplanitz
He framed hemorrhage not as a sign that something has gone wrong but as a predictable physiological event that must be managed proactively with specific remedies prepared in advance.

Food Protocol
"Eating moldy blackberries sometimes caused miscarriage, usually within 2 weeks of eating them."
Aajonus Vonderplanitz
Critical specificity on the mold: The blackberries must have been molding for no more than, and no less than, 4 weeks. This extremely precise window is presented as essential, the mold at exactly 4 weeks of age produces the specific biochemical compounds that stimulate the uterus to expel the fetus. Under-molded or over-molded blackberries presumably do not produce the same effect.
He did not specify a quantity of moldy blackberries, only that eating them (under those precise molding conditions) "sometimes" caused miscarriage, suggesting variable individual response rather than a guaranteed outcome.

What to Avoid
- i
> "FASTS, that is, not eating or drinking food, starve healthy cells as well as weak cells. After 5 hours of not eating or drinking food, cells become cannibalistic and eat each other, causing extreme systemic toxicity."
- ii
He was explicit: "I do not recommend fasting for anyone." Following abortion, when the body is already engaged in expelling tissue, managing blood loss, and healing the uterine lining, fasting would compound the depletion of nutrients and increase systemic toxicity. The body's recovery from the procedure requires continuous nutritional support.
- iii
> "The diseases, deaths and poverty that results from illegal abortions is not simply a moral issue."
- iv
This implies that the dangers he was concerned about were specifically those arising from unregulated, unsanitary clinical interventions, not from the herbal methods he described, which he presented as safe alternatives.

Recovery Timeline
Aajonus's specified timelines for each protocol:
| Protocol | Timeline | Pain Level | |---|---|---| | Moldy blackberries (4-week mold) | Usually within 2 weeks | Not specified | | Pennyroyal tincture, 1 tsp, rubbed on uterus | Up to 21 days | Mild cramping | | Pennyroyal tincture 2 tbsp + ¼ cup mineral water, held in uterus 2 hours | Same manner as above (up to 21 days implied) | Mild cramping | | Pennyroyal oil, 4 drops, rubbed on cervix | Within 3 days | Intense labor pains |
Post-procedure hemorrhage management: Aajonus instructed that hemorrhage remedies must be prepared in advance and on hand before the procedure begins. The instruction is to begin taking hemorrhage remedies at the first signs of miscarriage, not after hemorrhage is already underway, but prophylactically from the first signs of the expulsion process beginning. The dual purpose is stated explicitly: to prevent radical infection and to prevent excessive bleeding.

Questions Aajonus Answered
- January 20, 2002, Email/Newsletter Statement on Roe v. Wade
Aajonus issued a direct political statement on the threat of Roe v. Wade being overturned:
Subject Line: "Back-alley Abortions, Disease and Child Deformities"
His statement: "Whether you are for or against abortion, women who do not want children will have abortions. The diseases, deaths and poverty that results from illegal abortions is not simply a moral issue. We are not the judges."
He noted that during the summer of 2002, George Bush had the possibility of appointing enough anti-abortion justices to the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade (which had legalized abortion in all 50 states), and he directed his readers to sign a petition requiring 1,000,000 signatures to stop this outcome.
His framing: He did not take a position of "I support abortion as good" or "I oppose it as bad." He framed it as a public health and sovereignty issue, not a moral judgment. The legality of abortion affects what options are available to women, and illegal options (back-alley procedures) cause disease and death. He was explicit: "We are not the judges."

- Ron Paul and Abortion Rights
In a workshop discussion about Ron Paul (whom Aajonus generally supported), he acknowledged one point of disagreement:
> "The only thing that I don't agree with him, but you do, is the right to choose for women. So that's the only thing that he's against. He won't interfere with that. Let me tell you, he's not going to interfere with it. But he's not going to support a bill to give abortions to anybody. But he's..."
The transcript cuts off here, but the statement reveals that Aajonus supported women's right to choose, considered it a significant point on which Ron Paul's position was a limitation, and was concerned enough about it to name it explicitly as his one area of disagreement with an otherwise supported political figure.

- Personal Biographical Context: Early Marriage and Abortion Unavailability
In his personal story told across multiple workshops, Aajonus described the circumstances of his first marriage as directly connected to the unavailability of abortion. At approximately 15–16 years old, he and a girl he met in public school (who was a year older than him) wanted to get married but were not permitted to. He described deliberately getting her pregnant so they would be allowed to marry:
> "We wanted to get married, of course. Nobody would let us get married. So we got her pregnant, purposely, so we could get married."
He then noted explicitly:
> "Because you couldn't do anything about it then, especially with my parents being Catholic. Of course, you can't go out and have an abortion or anything like that. So it was pretty cut and dry."
This personal account reveals his understanding that for Catholic families in that era, abortion was not a permitted option regardless of circumstances, and that this limitation had direct life consequences, he was married at 16, had a child at 17, and divorced at 19. The inaccessibility of abortion in that context shaped the entire trajectory of his early life. He did not frame this with bitterness or regret but as biographical fact, establishing early on in his life story the connection between reproductive choice, religion, and social control.
