        I don’t get it either. isn’t turpentine just a paint thinner, sometimes used in mixes to make varnishes or clean furniture? smells awful.

          I think it’s because turpentine is associated with DIY abortion and maybe slavery. Men “fixing” women and the women having to “unfix” themselves. Using different solutions to induce abortion.

          The tin snips and vasectomies is a decent clue.

            Isn’t it also highly flammable? My first thought with the comic was it would be used for arson.
