“It’s just not that bad.”

Killing babies in the womb... it's just not that bad:

“I’m doing this to de-mystify abortion,” she says. “I’m doing this so other women know, ‘Hey, it’s not nearly as terrifying as I had myself worked up thinking it was.’ It’s just not that bad.”

These are the words of Angie Jackson, a blogger and mother of a 4-year-old son. Her IUD birth control failed; she is four weeks pregnant and writing about her abortion on YouTube, her personal blog, and on Twitter under the hashtag #livetweetingabortion.

Last Thursday, Jackson visited a Planned Parenthood where her doctor gave her the first dose of RU-486, the abortion pill. (Note: The abortion pill is not the same as the morning-after pill.) She had to take four more pills — swallowing two and letting two others dissolve in her mouth—on Friday and Saturday.

She hasn’t taken to her various media platforms to show the graphic parts of her abortion. Instead, Jackson is chronicling how her abortion feels physically and emotionally — as she puts it on YouTube, “It’s just not that bad.” It’s almost like guerilla sex ed.

Angie Jackson is the first person that I know of who has live-tweeted her abortion on Twitter — if I am incorrect about that, smart Frisky readers, please correct me in the comments — and I think it’s brave of her to share something that will make her a bulls-eye for anti-choice activists. Obviously, people who are against abortion are criticizing Jackson on Twitter and on her blog, calling her a “killer” and all those things. It takes a certain toughness to not allow oneself to feel judged by strangers and a certain magnanimousness to want to help other people even while being judged. 

Got that readers?  It takes a certain toughness... a certain magnanimousness... to end the life of an innocent...

And people applaud this... people lift this up as something to trumpet, something that will help others...

Society is decaying.  Let there be no doubt.

I watched the video and read her blog, then posted my own version of her musings on my blog. Thanks for finding this and posting it Rick.

By her own words and descriptions, she is a 'pissed off incubator] that looked upon the life inside her as some alien life form akin to a 'squatter or a tape worm.'

She ends her diatribe by wishing everyone a Godless day.

The words and deeds of a soul less heathen IMO.

I feel sorry for her that she cannot enjoy the miracle or the child.

I feel sorry for her existing child whose mother could look upon it with such disdain.

And of course she won't show that little life when it does come out - it might look too human, even at four weeks, and start off some feelings and thoughts that would make her understand.

The events of Joel 2, when they come to pass, won't be allowed without good reason.

When earthquakes lay low our greatest cities, it won't be without good reason.

A near total, complete inversion has been achieved (what an achievement.) up vs. down, good vs. evil, true vs. lies. Be looking up, be praying - these are the times Christ was talking about, when he spoke of the end.

"It takes a certain toughness to not allow oneself to feel ... "

I think that's what gets her to having the abortion in the first place.

You know, I worked as a guard at Auschwitz, and shower/oven duty really just was not that bad for me. Also, at one point I was the overseer of a cotton plantation, and, much to my surprise, whipping slaves was just not all that bad for me either. I also learned that, as long as you keep your mind about it, keep your airspeed up, and keep a steady aim, flying planes into skyscrapers really just is not that bad, either. All of these things simply aren't as painful as people make them out to be. I just want to demystify these things for people, so that they're less afraid of doing them. I don't mean to imply that there's no pain at all; sometimes I'd get blisters after a good whipping session, or a backache after loading the carts that go between the showers and the ovens, but still: not that bad.

I applaud her efforts to illustrate that abortion is nothing to be ashamed of. It's a legal option that women have the right to exercise if they so choose.

I think it's wonderful what she is doing. She's giving a face and voice to countless women who are shamed and harassed by religious fundementalists to remain quiet about their experience.

[Mommynator]

And what about that little human being, Moxie?

What about keeping your legs closed? What about accepting responsibility that if/when you have sex, you may become pregnant and a child shouldn't have to die to pay for your irresponsibility?

Why is she not showing the "products of conception" when it does come out? Will that just be flushed so she doesn't have to see her dirty work?

Okay, Moxie.

It takes a lot of strength to murder one's own humanity,

Moxie...Moxie....Moxie,
Spoken like a true feminazi hag who has never been anywhere in the vicinity of the "dirty deed" which causes those vile tumors to grow in a woman's uterus....

I wonder if Lil' Miss Moxie and Ms. I'm Live-blogging my abortion as a public service (can she calim community service hours for this?) will feel the same in say 10 or 15 years, when the reality that SHE MURDERED HER CHILD begins to press heavily on her mind....it happens to ALL women who excersize this "right"...at least those who have not grown so callous and jaded from giving a piece of themselves away to every Tom, Dick and Harry who fronts them a Budwieser or a Big Mac.....

Molech, by any other name, still devours the children sacrificed to Him.

[Chris Vehr]

Moxie -- there is a human life at stake here.

A person. A fellow human being. A co-worker. A brother. A sister. A friend.

In this case, it's all because the woman simply can't say "no" to sex. That what takes "toughness"!

Are you nuts?

“I’m doing this to de-mystify abortion"

Didn't realize abortion needed to be.

Maybe we could get the fetus' side of the story...Oh...I forgot...
