At National Right to Life News Today, we post article after article, story after story about the invidious “abortion pill,” alternatively labeled “chemical abortion,” or the preferred [to the Abortion Industry] “medication abortion.” Whatever it’s called, it is lethal to the developing unborn child and incredibly painful to the mother, even deadly.
Naturally, Planned Parenthood stands at the front of the line, proudly announcing this “service” to abortion-prone women. I remember once writing about how I’d run across a tribute–although tribute is understating the gratitude–to Planned Parenthood: ”Biggest thank you ever to Planned Parenthood–my abortion.”
The young woman tells us that she had a “medicinal abortion” the day before “plus I learned some stuff that might be useful to some.” By that she is referring to the sequence of events that make up a chemical abortion “procedure.”
“Kathy’s” post was worth writing about then and again now because it tells us an awful lot on a number of scores.
When she thought she might be pregnant, Kathy took a pregnancy test and
had a full blown panic attack at the double line, and started googling how to induce a miscarriage. Closest to pure horror I ever felt. I 100% knew I wasn’t keeping it and felt like the guy in Alien who has the creature inside him scratching away. Needed to get rid of it ASAP. (This was mothers day, which just added to the emotional weirdness.)
You could write several posts on the paragraph alone. Kathy had 100% absorbed the line that when you abort a young unborn baby you are “induc[ing] a miscarriage.”
She further distanced herself from what she was doing–and to whom–by comparing the baby she had conceived with the parasitic monster that was implanted in a character (whose body was serving as a host) in the classic science fiction movie “Alien”). But at some level, Kathy understood that making the decision to kill an unborn child on Mother’s Day [!] was a particularly unhinged decision.
Let me make a couple of observations that straighten out a lot of twists in her story. Part of the reason Kathy is so grateful to Planned Parenthood is that the first OB-GYN office she reached “congratulated me on my pregnancy and then got all ‘oh… we’ll call you back’ when I asked if they could help me go over options.”
That’s not what she wanted to hear: she did not want the “alien” cooed over. She wanted “it” removed.
Kathy didn’t understand how a pregnancy is dated but she consoled herself after her abortion when she looked at the image, “it’s really more like a yolk at the 5 week mark. I think this made it easier for me.”
Kathy tells us that when she took the mifepristone at the Planned Parenthood clinic, she did so “to stop the pregnancy from growing.”
Not the baby, the “pregnancy.”
Likewise, the second drug (misoprostol) which she took at home “makes your body pass it.” Not the baby, but “it.”
There is nothing in her story that suggests the abortion clinic clued her into the indisputable fact that chemical abortions can be almost unimaginably painful and dangerous (to the mother).
So, her gratitude included that Planned Parenthood was (to state the obvious) “non judgmental”; prompt (they scheduled the abortion for the next day); and disposed of the pregnancy/it before Kathy would have required a surgical abortion “which I think for me personally would’ve been a little more traumatic, especially doing this by myself.”
Kathy’s story ends with a promise someday to “write them a fat donation.” Just before that final sentence she writes
Anyway, after a hell week of stress and crying tears not knowing what to do next, I feel like as soon as I got on the phone with PP it’s like your mom’s there taking care of you.
Not to be cruel, but neither Planned Parenthood nor Kathy acted anything like a real mom.

Sick and heartbreaking.
“Kathy” has apparently never sat down and contemplated that her life started as an “it”.
I went to the reddit Link where this story came from.
This is not a real woman that had an abortion at planned Parenthood this is one of their staff writing an advertisement in the form of a woman that did.
Read for yourself and decide.
Wanted to get this off my chest and share my story - I had a medicinal abortion yesterday and I’m feeling SO grateful to Planned Parenthood, plus I learned some stuff that might be useful to some.
I keep a mega stash of pregnancy tests that I bought in bulk on Amazon (soooo much cheaper than buying at the drugstore) so I can take one whenever I need to put my mind at ease. I also keep track of when I’ve had sex and my period dates on an app so I know exactly when I’m late (also recommend this because it helped a lot in this situation.) So as soon as I was a few days late, I took 3 pregnancy tests, had a full blown panic attack at the double line, and started googling how to induce a miscarriage. Closest to pure horror I ever felt. I 100% knew I wasn’t keeping it and felt like the guy in Alien who has the creature inside him scratching away. Needed to get rid of it ASAP. (This was mothers day, which just added to the emotional weirdness.)
I went on my health insurance website and looked up the in-network GyN closest to me. The third time I called, I was able to state what I was calling for without crying. They patched me through to a OB clinic that congratulated me on my pregnancy, and then got all “oh... we’ll call you back” when I asked if they could help me go over options. I called another clinic too and had no luck getting through to schedule an appointment.
After a few days of phone tag and waiting for the 2nd clinic to call me back, I was ready to try something else. Finally I called Planned Parenthood. I had thought PP was for low income women and if you have insurance you’re not supposed to go there and “take advantage” of services intended for those who are worse off. But its not realoy like that and PP accepts tons of health insurance plans.
I can’t even put to words my relief and gratitude when the new patient coordinator was clear, helpful, non judgmental, and sheduled my appointment for the next day. She even walked me through directions, expectations of what the appointment would entail, and that there may be protesters outside but there would also be volunteer chaperones. A financial coordinator called me in an hour to walk me through what my insurance would cover.
I was so nervous and feeling judged and afraid of the protesters, but the only person outside was a kind male volunteer who held the door. There is a metal scanner and security check point on the way in, which actually made the clinic feel safe and protected inside. Everyone was clear, clinical and professional. I’m sitting here with misoprostol in my cheeks with my instructions and side effects print out in hand.
Things I learned -They measure how far along you are from the age of the egg, not the date of conception. Ie my last period was 5 weeks ago but I probably conceived 3 weeks ago. I’d be considered 5 weeks. -Up to 10 weeks, you can do a medicinal abortion. In clinic, you take mifeptistone to stop the pregnancy from growing. They send you home with misoprostol that makes your body pass it. The side effects of pain and heavy bleeding should only last a day. -They do a vaginal ultrasound to confirm you’re pregnant and how far along. They ask if you want to see the images, which was the only hard part for me. I said no. I thought it would trigger too many emotions to see a fetus. However, looking it up at home later, it’s really more like a yolk at the 5 week mark. I think this made it easier for me. I’m glad I caught it early and PP was so available so I was able to get in the door and terminate the pregnancy before I would’ve needed a clinical abortion, which I think for me personally would’ve been a little more traumatic, especially doing this by myself. Grateful for my state’s access to these services, which I never expected to need.
Anyway, after a hell week of stress and crying tears not knowing what to do next, I feel like as soon as I got on the phone with PP it’s like your mom’s there taking care of you. Everything was laid out clearly, and now I feel like the hugest weight is off. When I’m financially able I’m going to write them a fat donation. Cheers ladies.

I could go through this whole article like a hot sword 🗡️ through butter in explaining what is wrong.
I’ll only start with the beginning. She said she had a chemical abortion yesterday and today she writes her dissertation about it?
I’ll take “things that never happened for $500. Alex”.
Democrats today: It's not a person; it's just a clump of cells.
It? Was it a dent from her car?
At the risk of getting struck by lightning, may I say that that is something we should all lament.
Probably like a cross between David Hogg and Talarico.
As Reagan said, “I’ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.”

And all of hell rejoices!

Do not engage in baby-making activities unless you are willing to raise the resulting baby to adulthood in partnership with the other person involved in the baby-making activity.
