Indeed. What a pioneer this woman is for getting pregnant, taking the RU-486 abortion pill, and talking about her experience as it happens on a forum better known for pithy commentary regarding the truly mundane. But don’t accuse her of doing it as a PR stunt…I’m sure this, the YouTube video, the CNN appearance, and the book she’s writing (look out, Ernest Hemingway!) are all just odd coincidences. Uh huh. She claims that no one wants to talk about such a taboo subject, suggesting that the visceral reaction to her effort is proof of just that, but I think the big problem here is the fact she talked about it while it was happening. The lackadaisical attitude that demonstrates, as you will see in her video below, is utterly repulsive. ‘Yeah, theoretically it could’ve been a baby, but whatevs.’ Disgusting. It’s not the same as having a miscarriage (one is a conscious decision), and trivializing it as such is an insult to those who’ve gone through that hell.
Two videos for your viewing, um, pleasure. First up is the interview on CNN, then her YouTube debut. Some people will do just about anything for a cheap 15 minutes, I guess…too bad the death of an unborn child is seen as such an opportunity:

Further proof that abortion works for all of us!
Just think is dumb0-asses like the woman in this story were allowed to pollute the gene pool with their idiot genes; society would be filled unproductive morons to the extent that every part of America would look like WalMart on a Saturday night; nothing but idiots, everywhere you looked.
Instead, thanks to our own form of Twenty-first Century infanticide combined with eugenics, abortion is helping to cull the losers out of the population. It is not as efficient as the German gas-chamber method, but it is kinder and gentler.

I think that in the interest of getting the truth out there about abortion and contraception that this was a brave step on this woman’s part. She should be encouraged and lauded by pro life and pro choice alike.
She should have put videos of the process on youtube.
