Twitter Video of Medical Abortion: Where’s The Compassion?

March 17th, 2010

A video recently posted on Twitter shows a young woman, Angie Jackson, explaining that she is “having an abortion - right now” through use of the abortion-inducing pill, RU-486. She recorded it, she says, to show people that it’s “not that bad - not that scary - basically like a miscarriage” . . . “to demystify abortion,” and to tell women “this is nothing compared to childbirth.”

 What is so sad about this is how misinformed she is, how widely her misinformation is being spread an influencing others, and how her baby will never know her love. But is also sad is the judgmental and hostile reaction to her by a few of the people who commented regreting the death of her preborn child. They too are misinformed.
