Emily Letts’ now infamous abortion video shocked people on both sides of the abortion debate, with even some pro-abortion advocates arguing that this video went too far over the line. But now, questions are starting to surface about the entire situation: was the video, in fact, faked?
Kristen Iglesias at Clash Daily brings up a number of puzzling questions which casts doubt onto Letts’ story. The inconsistencies and strange coincidences keep adding up, so could it be possible that Letts, with the help of her employers at the Cherry Hill Women’s Center, fabricated the video?
The first, and most damning, piece of evidence to come to light is that Emily Letts is a failed actress. It also turns out that the Abortion Care Network held an “abortion stigma busting competition”, which had a cash prize for the winners. And yes, her video won. Letts also claimed to be only two to three weeks pregnant — highly suspicious no matter which way you look at it. She never said whether it was two to three weeks after her last menstrual period, which would be far too early to measure a pregnancy via ultrasound. And an ultrasound is how doctors determine gestational age. So was it two to three weeks after conception, or two to three weeks after her last menstrual period? If it was two to three weeks after conception, that would actually make her about five weeks pregnant. But seeing anything at five weeks pregnant via an ultrasound is extremely difficult — yet Letts claims that she has an ultrasound photo of the baby she killed, a photo she says she will treasure forever. This is what an ultrasound would look like at the stage of pregnancy she claimed to be at:
5-week-ultrasound
And while Letts claims that she chose to have a surgical abortion specifically for the sake of doing this video, that also seems hard to believe. In order to have an aspiration abortion, a woman has to be at least six weeks pregnant — but many abortions performed that early are not surgical abortions.
But the most suspicious part of all seems to be that Letts claimed that she had been sleeping with multiple men, without using protection. Not only did Letts claim to eschew using hormonal birth control, she also said that she didn’t use condoms with any of her partners. It seems unlikely that a woman who works at an abortion clinic wouldn’t be knowledgeable about the important of birth control, and she certainly had access to whatever she wanted.
Now, Emily Letts’ video has gone viral, she’s gotten her 15 minutes of fame, and may very well be the next Sandra Fluke, and she won a contest which garnered her a cash prize. Her abortion clinic also got their name out there, possibly garnering them plenty of donations and press from fawning pro-abortion advocates who applauded Letts as brave and strong. Such a coincidence that Letts just happened to get pregnant in time for the contest, and that she took a pregnancy test exactly when it was possible to get a positive result, was able to get an immediate ultrasound, and then within a matter of days have a video edited and packaged together to be entered into this contest!
What do you think? Was her video fake or real?
“If it was two to three weeks after conception, that would actually make her about five weeks pregnant.”
Wut?
Must be that Common Core math. Yea I don’t get it either. What it means is if she was pregnant, she was not far along. She could have taken ru486 or Ella, yet she does this?
Yes.
That was a weird sentence, but an aside.
I agree with this argument that it was fake.
Dear Lord, it’s time to take us home and shut this whole thing down.... Amen
I heard her name was Litella originally.
Oh, I see.
Well, then. That's very different....never mind.
The whole story is a sorry tale. Ruining her life in ways she cannot yet imagine. As to her afterlife? Eternity seems like a long time to roast in Hell for a video and a cash prize.
Yes, I agree, this article is very garbled. It’s also very, very rare that women even suspect they are pregnant until they miss 2 menstrual cycles.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all that the video was fake, depending on the rules that might not even disqualify her for the prize.
The left lies from dawn to dusk and all through the night, so why should this be any different?
She’s got quite a cavalier attitude towards life and health if she’s sleeping around with multiple guys with no protection. I suppose her “partners” can just be happy she hasn’t accused any of them of raping her.
Pregnancy weeks are counted from the date of the start of the last menstrual period. If the woman has a really irregular cycle the doctor will adjust the dates later when measuring the growing baby via ultrasound, but it’s still counted from 2 weeks before conception. I think when all of this was set up, people did not understand exact when conception happened, so dating it that way was what they did.
And I think she faked it.
Because ovulation isn’t so easy to know, doctors time a pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual period. This is actually about two weeks before actual conception happens.
So, if they tell a woman that she’s six weeks pregnant, conception actually happened about four weeks ago.
I’ve seen this cause some concern with fathers who don’t understand this.
They say that a human pregnancy is about 40 weeks, but (in reality) it’s about 38 weeks from ‘the act’.
So, if she’s saying that she’s ‘three weeks pregnant’... well, it doesn’t work. By pregnancy math, three weeks pregnant would actually be one week after conception happened and it would been too soon to actually get a positive pregnancy test.
If she was going by the date of conception (which is really stupid, because she admits that she doesn’t know the DOC), then she would be ‘five weeks pregnant’ and that’s too soon to see on an ultrasound and a week too soon to get the procedure.
She’s full of BS.
Is this a joke?
Of course it was fake. Her whole life is a fake.
No. I’m a woman and my view was that you might miss one, but that was common enough. Well, perhaps I’m just an uniformed dinosaur. Of course I was always pro-life so the idea I might be pregnant never freaked me out that much and I was never going to be getting an abortion, so how “early” it was wasn’t ever an issue. I suppose it might be different today, we didn’t have any over-the-counter pregnancy tests or anything like that back in my day.
