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.

Who volunteers to work in a clinic?
Ummm, perhaps, a witch?
Well, ‘witch’ is kinda archaic and out of fashion in terms of phrasing.
“Cheerleader of Satan” has a kind of peppy ring to it, so I think I’ll go with that one.
Great point!
GOOD! GTFO. Don’t let the door hit ya, where the Lord split ya.
Definitely has a contemporary flair to it.
“Cheerleader of Satan” it is then. 🥳
Courage of your convictions? Doesn’t seem like it.
Do you have any idea the abuse pro-life volunteers take while walking the sidewalks in front of abortion buildings?
Name calling vs being ripped apart alive. Hmmm what to think.
I’m so sorry that they called you names, however, I don’t believe you. Your mom.was a mass murderer and she let you live? My Bull💩 meter just pinged.
Why volunteer in a center that generates substantial wealth for its proprietors?
Fake news?
Another BS story. All these stories are just too pat. They just happen to check all the right boxes.
There is a simple solution that obviously evaded her:
Stop being complicit in the murder of innocent little preborn babies.
The problem is with those committing the bad action, not with those objecting to the bad action.
Please state what your approach to the person would have been and why you believe that approach would have been effective.
My response, not be there at all. We were at a couple years ago. The name calling and Bible reading did not stop a single young lady. It did however, puff up the christians there. It provided them a way to pat each other on the back and feel self righteous, while heaping condemnation on ladies they knew nothing about. There are billions of people and the msm can only provide old Hollywood broads and made up stories of ladies ‘proud’ of their abortions. it’s not that common. Most are pressured by partners, parents and society. They’ve been brainwashed since children. They ‘know not what they do.’ Try doing volunteer work at a crisis center, do something beneficial.
