Woman Tweets Her Abortion

Says she's trying to 'demystify' process

(Newser) – Angie Jackson wants to take the veil off of abortion. The blogger and mother of one became pregnant when her IUD failed, found out too late to take the morning-after pill, but because of health risks has turned unapologetically to RU-486. And she's live-tweeting the entire experience.

“I’m doing this to de-mystify abortion,” she says, “so other women know, ‘Hey, it’s not nearly as terrifying as I had myself worked up thinking it was.” Jackson isn’t the first woman to publicly share her abortion—Jessica Wakeman of TheFrisky enumerates others—but she is, as far as Wakeman can tell, the first to use Twitter to do it. You can follow Jackson’s Twitter feed here.

Hey everybody I think you've got it all wrong you have misunderstood this situation all together I think you will agree and don't feel bad this was a little over my head to but abortion is alright you guys were using the word babies I couldn't figure out what you were talking about the thing this woman killed was something that is pretty much like 99.999% of the people who live here in the united states their stupid can't feel pain and don't know whats going on in the first place.
So see abortion is a good thing you can't argue with that a scientist has said by redefining the word baby to fetas makes it alright,what I'm getting at if you don't understand saying that killing a thoughtless non-feeling entity like a fetas is like say the extermination of millions of Jews was wrong!
Because someone came up with the ugly word genocide everyone took Hitler and the Nazi's as being bad people the fact is it was all just a big misunderstanding killing all those Jews wasn't the problem at all that was a good thing the word genocide was the real problem this wasn't genocide at all but scientific proof that Jews die when subjected to poisonous gases a bullets to the back of their heads,or being cut in half with 19 inch in diameter saw blades.
See its all good when you change the word genocide to eugenics,now there's a word you can wrap your arms around at night and feel warm and fuzzy about it,but don't take my word for it come to my home state the state that brought you abortion and visit central state hospital in indianapolis the birth place of the beautiful art of mass murder were so proud of it here in indiana that central state hospital has been turned into a museum dedicated to mass murder or eugenics.
Do I really believe that abortion is a good thing or the mass murder of Jews in world 2 was a good thing certainly not my question here is if an unborn baby knows nothing has no idea or is not aware of its surroundings,why is it that the same people who say its alright to kill it,also advise expecting mothers to play classical music to their unborn fetuses to heighten said fetuses intelligence before birth?
I have been mis fortunate in having witnessed via video as to what happens to these non-feeling unaware fetuses at the point when they are injected with salt water and know for a fact that they feel pain and curl there fist in a defensive manner,and as to what I've mentioned concerning eugenics indiana is proud of mass murder what more this state loves to sentence defenseless infants and children to what they know is a sure death by returning them to households where they were previously physically abused.
The lucky ones do end up dead at least their in the care of the living God,unlike myself who ended up addicted to drugs and alcohol for twenty two years of my 41 years in this un-Godly nation after suffering through being beaten half to death at eight and a half months old,a life of mental abuse surviving cancer and suffering through the sick garbage I see all around me now in a sea of human scum I've finally gotten a definitive answer to a question I've asked myself many times does God bless amearica no!
I don't expect anyone to like agree with or respect what I've posted here truth is I really don't care and really what harm has been done a few billion murdered babies is small potatoes to important things like Ipods and the number of apts you can get for them,I suppose people will complain when they find out government health care is just a warm fuzzy way of saying lets get rid of the dead weight by getting rid of people who use to work for a living but can't now because their too old,of course well will have to wait till someone puts a twitter video of and old persons doctor overdosing them with a medication that the doctor knows his patient is allergic to.

She just wants everyone to know how easy it is to kill her baby. People fight for animals & save the whales BUT kill the babies.How distorted is that. Well I'm glad she is the one that will have to account for that.
