I won't say it's something I would do, and I won't say it's something I would endorse, or want anyone in my life to do, and I would hope that my children have a greater respect for life than all of that, but ultimately, it is her body, and if a woman has the right to choose, then she's utilizing that right to the fullest measure possible.

She doesn't have the right to perform at-home abortions on herself or anyone else.
See below for New York Penal laws regarding this stuff:

Section 125.50 Self-abortion in the second degree

Issuing abortional articles is a class B misdemeanor.
Section 125.05 Homicide, abortion and related offenses; definitions of terms
The following definitions are applicable to this article:
1. "Person," when referring to the victim of a homicide, means a human being who has been born and is alive.
2. "Abortional act" means an act committed upon or with respect to a female, whether by another person or by the female herself, whether she is pregnant or not, whether directly upon her body or by the administering, taking or prescription of drugs or in any other manner, with intent to cause a miscarriage of such female.
3. "Justifiable abortional act." An abortional act is justifiable when committed upon a female with her consent by a duly licensed physician acting (a) under a reasonable belief that such is necessary to preserve her life, or, (b) within twenty-four weeks from the commencement of her pregnancy. A pregnant female's commission of an abortional act upon herself is justifiable when she acts upon the advice of a duly licensed physician (1) that such act is necessary to preserve her life, or, (2) within twenty-four weeks from the commencement of her pregnancy. The submission by a female to an abortional act is justifiable when she believes that it is being committed by a duly licensed physician, acting under a reasonable belief that such act is necessary to preserve her life, or, within twenty-four weeks from the commencement of her pregnancy.
Obviously it would depend on when she was hypothetically aborting these hypothetical fetuses. But as you can see, it would certainly warrant looking into.
