Author says she wanted to counter the propaganda used by pro-life activists.
An anti-life activist has surreptitiously photographed her own abortion and posted the images online in what she claims is an effort to "demystify" the practice. The woman, who uses the name "Jane Young" on the site, claims the imagery commonly used by pro-life activists, is mere propaganda and that women are being used as pawns in a national debate.
Recently, I had an abortion.
Lining the street in front of the clinic were a dozen or so protesters. They held up large banners with anti-abortion slogans, religious iconography, and images of dead babies.
Just past the bulletproof security doors, the graphic nature of that imagery haunted me in the waiting room. What would my abortion look like? I decided to secretly document my abortion with my cell phone.
My intention in documenting and sharing my abortion is to demystify the sensationalist images propagated by the religious and political right on this matter. The perverse use of lifeless fetus photographs are a propaganda tool in the prolife/prochoice debate in which women and their bodies are used as pawns to push a cultural, political, and religious agenda in the United States.
At 6 weeks of pregnancy, my abortion looked very different than the images I saw when I entered the clinic that day.
This is my abortion.

I hope that one day this woman will have deep regret and remorse over what she has done. I’m willing to bet that her conscience will bother her someday, especially on the anniversary of this event. We should all pray for her conversion, that she soon realizes the depth of her sin in this regard.
God bless you!!

Condolences to you madam. Four are looking now for three, in smile, you have not lost anything, you have gain great four once behind you with God smile.
And that is more than words can even imagine.
Merci.
Thank you Bigg Redd. I just don’t understand it I guess other than to think that the left has been so successful in brainwashing women to go against their nature to care for children.
Thank you for the beautiful words. I don’t want this to sound callous, but with each miscarriage it got less painful. The first one was the worst, of course, and then to have to go through the D & C procedure, in my case, made it more awful. Maybe because the others I went through the whole process naturally and knew what to expect it was less traumatic. Being able to have other children that lived certainly helped. So I don’t think about these souls often, but your post reminded me they were souls sent to me for whatever reason and I believe they are in heaven looking down. God bless you for reminding me of that.
Thank you FF. God bless you too.
“Bottom line: You don’t murder others of God’s creation without consequence. For their blood too cries out from the earth for justice.”
Beautifully said and worth repeating!
*sigh*
I wanted children so badly, and was not able to have them.
Then I read about a vile creature like this, and wonder why SHE could, and killed it.
I wanted sons, and even had their names picked out..
I guess it’s true that life is unfair at times.
I’m very sorry MB. Things can be very unfair on this planet.
These are indeed evil days we are living through. Mass murder of children by their own mothers. Liberalism is a dangerous sickness.
....the left has been so successful in brainwashing women to go against their nature to care for children.

Bingo! Diluting the mothering instinct and undermining religious beliefs are major victories for the Alinskyites, and abortion is a great vehicle for them.
