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.

There is another option. Spaying.

Then, they can have anonymous, random hookups without have to remember a pill, or having to trust some evul man.

They don't want children, anyhow, so...

The coathanger abortions on everystreet corner meme is a lie and even the guy pushing it admitted so.

“According to the Guttmacher Institute, nearly 1 in 4 women in America will have an abortion by age 45.”

And people ask me why I bother dating American women. 1 in 4 chance of landing a murderer? No thanks. I don’t like those odds.

They can still go to California or whatever to get an abortion. So what do they have to complain about?

May I suggest these post menopausal women have nothing to worry about and young women just keep their legs shut.

The Guttmacher Institute is and extreme, far left pro abortion outfit. I wouldn’t believe a word they print without a massive amount of corroborating sources.

Their emotional experiences? Well what about the babies they killed? I'm sure those murdered infants have a story to tell themselves … I have no pity for these women.

It was “made a constitutional right?”

You know, it kind of annoys me that all those years ago my civic teacher taught me wrong...

I recall the SCOTUS not outlawing abortion, instead returning the matter to the states to decide. Your choice where you live.

Title is wrong, abortion was never a right.
