Women Recall Their 'Barbaric' Illegal Abortions Before Roe v. Wade: 'We Cannot Go Back' In an emotional video, 10 women open up about their abortion experiences both before and after abortion was made a constitutional right

As the Supreme Court appears poised to reverse Roe v. Wade and the right to abortion this month, 10 women ages 25 to 82 are sharing their personal abortion experiences.

"We are your grandmothers, your mothers, your daughters. And we cannot go back," the group said in unison.

In a new video shared by Runaway Train Productions, a number of women recounted the "barbaric" conditions in which they had illegal abortions prior to the procedure becoming a constitutional right, detailing the unsafe conditions they had to rely on.

"The doctor found a motel, snuck me in the back and performed the abortion on the dining room table. Afterward, he drove me back to the hotel and dropped me on the sidewalk like a bag of dirty laundry," one woman recalled. "I felt so humiliated and disregarded as a human being. However, I was a lucky one. I was not killed and I still had my fertility."

Another woman shared, "I had an abortion because I was raped. The doctor performed the abortion without anesthesia and yelled, 'This no hurt. This no hurt.' The abortion was almost worse than the rape."

According to the Guttmacher Institute, nearly 1 in 4 women in America will have an abortion by age 45. The criminalization of the procedure forced women into unsafe conditions that led to anguish, injury, infertility, and even death.

Additionally, the emotional clip includes the stories of women who received their abortions after the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, expressing the "empowerment" they felt to have access to sterile doctor's offices, nurses, anesthesia and compassionate care.

OMG! If it isn’t the “rape” excuse, its the COAT HANGER excuse.

Try closing your legs.

Just say NO!

ALL men KNOW that women CONTROL sex. Sex doesn’t happen without the woman determining when and where.

How many rapes are actually a woman “changing her mind” (TOO LATE)

“...10 women ages 25 to 82 are sharing their personal abortion experiences.”

Roe versus Wade was accomplished in 1973. That means that the legalization of abortion they are claiming to lose and changing the opportunity was in effect 49 years ago. The article didn’t mention how many 25 year old women were losing this procedure, but it is a realistic guess that if the women questioned were at least 8 years old at the time of their pregnancy, then the procedure not only was in effect at the time they are describing the horrible experience but a percentage of them are flat lying about losing it due to age alone as they couldn’t have been around before it went into effect.

“Just take the very small, personal responsibility of keeping in reserve the resources needed to get to another State.”

Say, instead of Covid tests before getting on a plane, maybe there should be mandatory pregnancy tests for women of a certain age, so they can’t leave a state to get an abortion. /off Sarc

They’ve never heard of contraceptives or the morning after pill?

If I remember correctly, at the time Roe passed abortion was legal in 32 states.

Because there have been no advances in birth control options since 1973. I wonder if they think their TV only has 3 channels? 🤔

Some people here would like that. They’d like to see the authorities ‘sicced’ on anyone who tries to leave a restrictive state to get an abortion.

If you can’t control your baser instincts and need it bad, I would suggest those kinda rubber sheaths thingies that you stretch over the penis. They’re not very expensive. Or just rub one out by yourself. Voila, no need for back alleys.

I think abortion tourism is going to be the next big moneymaker.

The millions of unborn kids killed were not able to produce a video except for the one anonymous child in Bernard Nathan’s The Silent Scream.

Stop the complaining! At least the abortion enthusiasts have something to go back to!

...young women just keep their legs shut.

Or at least educate themselves because sex "education"
isn't doing a very good job.
I'm a man and can find this information.

Having sex without a condom or another barrier method during your period decreases your probability of pregnancy. But it isn’t a guarantee.
Tracking ovulation and determining your fertile window can decrease your chance of getting pregnant each month.

At least do harm reduction.

Actually ... you murdered your children.

Abortion is not a biological necessity. No woman has to undergo any illegal abortion or legal abortion either.

“1 in 4 women in America will have an abortion”

I don’t believe that statistic.

I don’t believe it either.

But I believe there are lots who undergo numerous ones.
