Woman Live-Tweets Her Abortion
A woman named Angie Jackson, who goes by the nickname “Angie The Anti-Thiest,” live tweeted her use of the morning after pill on February 22nd. She did it in order to “demystify the process” for other women. She also recorded the entire thing for YouTube.
RU-486, which is otherwise known as the “morning after pill,” induces a miscarriage. Here are some of her quotes from the live-tweets and YouTube video:
For a variety of reasons, including very high health risks for me, I am having an abortion. Right now. [...] But yeah I’m having an abortion right now. It’s not that bad, it’s not that scary, it’s basically like a miscarriage.
I’m live tweeting my abortion on Twitter–not for some publicity stunt or for attention or to justify this to myself, I am at peace with my decision. I’m doing this to demystify abortion. I’m doing this so that other women know, ‘Hey, it’s not nearly as terrifying as I had myself worked up thinking it was.’ It’s just not that bad. This is nothing compared to childbirth, compared to labor, or, for me and my risks, late stage pregnancy.
#livetweetingabortion’ for people who wanted to ‘follow things in real time or read my hatemail after the fact.
Cramps are getting a bit more persistant.
Definitely bleeding now
I’m so fucking wiped. Having trouble sleeping obviously. Just took 2 more ibuprofin. Started bleeding a LOT more today.’
I am not ashamed.
