A woman who volunteered in an American abortion clinic has told how she was called a ‘witch’ and ‘cheerleader for Satan’ by pro-life campaigners, who made her feel like an 'outcast' in her community before she left for Britain five years ago.
Annie Smith, 23, helped at the centre with her mother near Memphis, Tennessee, around six years ago despite all her school friends having strong anti-abortion views.
Pro-lifers would often come to the clinic and ridicule Annie - who now lives in the UK, but fears for her siblings living in America - outside of her workplace.
The 1973 Roe v Wade ruling was overturned after a five to four Supreme Court decision on Friday. This will make abortion illegal or severely restricted in almost half of US states.
Speaking to FEMAIL, Annie said: ‘Working there was not something I advertised because I knew so many people around me were anti-abortion. I felt isolated among people at my high school and my friends.
‘But I do remember there was one day where all these people came chanting “you’re going to hell”.
‘Parents and kids that were about seven-years-old saying I was a “cheerleader of Satan” and I was a “witch”. It was awful to see,’ she said.
Since Annie moved to London, she has felt more comfortable talking about her pro-choice beliefs and shares them on social media.

The Truth can be painful at times....but it is still the Truth.
I can hear it: That tiny violin playing Hearts and Flowers.
Boo Hoo Hoo they called her names. Hey, at least they didn’t firebomb the abortion clinic like the pro abortionists are doing to women’s counseling centers and other such offices the pro life people have in order to support mothers and mothers to be.
America and the world would be better off without Annie the baby killer.
It is all about her.
I don’t see the problem here...maybe it’s just me
She should be thanking GOD her parents didn’t feel the way she does
Poor baby. She needs a big Powers Boothe send off.
Well, either she floats or she doesn’t.
“‘But I told them to delete their period tracking app or get some abortion pills just in case something happens - worst comes to worst.
‘I used to say they will never track us but at this point I say, “never say never”, nothing is off the table.’”
She’s not just someone ‘who used to go to work with her mom’. She sounds like a full on activist. Spreading fear is one of the ways they reveal themselves.
Why would you volunteer to work in an abortion clinic? Volunteering means no pay? Who volunteers to work in a clinic?
“she fled to the UK”
It’s just an 8-hour drive to Chicago. She could have just moved there. I’m guessing she had more than one motivation.
She turned me into a newt.
Volunteering in a clinic? Yes, certainly!
Volunteering in an abortion clinic? Most certainly not!
Regards,
I trust you got better..
Keeping up appearances and all that...
Society might talk a weird talk sometimes, but when a patchouli or psycho takes the dress code outside the realm of the masquerade, then it’s obvious the attention seeker has no creds other than the oddity on display.
The patchoulis? They do art, paint herons on lightswitch covers, batik, macrame... busk a bit, drum circle, schrooms... essential oils, some soccer moms go patchouli lite but stop short at the nude fire dancing.
Result... societal shunning. Why? Psychosis on display maybe.
Johnny Appleseed might have been a patchouli.
I’m not sure I believe the insinuation that this was a coordinated campaign against her.
I definitely believe that she has become much more vocal in her abortion support since she entered her UK echo chamber on the subject.
Show proof! Voice mails, emails, letters, videos —— anything or STFU
“Cheerleader for Satan”
She was in the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” video?
