Abortion Stories Before Roe v. Wade | Iris - Zábava
I wanted to throw up when the women said she was molested right after the abortion
ME TOO
Thought I was the only one feeling that way. -_- why would someone want to do that. Poor lady and everyone who had to go through that or are going through that
that's what some men turn into when they have power over you. he knew she was ashamed having an abortion and completely hopeless, tired and weak. nobody would help her even if she could find strenght to scream.
psycopathic men!
Tyler Artist sweetie, no one deserves to be violated that way. You may still feel the same way about abortion when you get older but also, you will see that life can be very hard and these decisions are not easy. If you can separate what you feel is wrong of the pregnant woman to do from what the abortionist back in the day did, then you may see that regardless of who is on the table, for whatever reason, it is sick to violate a woman or man for any reason. I am not here to tear you down, but hope you don't fill your heart with hate for these women or doctors. That isn't going to help anyone.
I started tearing up when she said he molested her after saying you should stay pure, don't let boys touch you. That's just so wrong, what is wrong with people.
Yeah, I collect books on these stories and have heard it all, including abortionists demanding sex as part of the payment, but how he did it to her... it broke my heart to hear her words.
here's a hint: she may be lying
Spawny Chancer why the fuck would she be lying? You are an disgusting human being.
And what is wrong with women killing their unborn baby's too!
Sad stories. Molesters are horrible people.
However, most abortions happen simply because people don't want to take responsibility of having a child and they actually have the audacity to say it's their right to choice to kill a defenseless human, no matter the background story.
Someone gets raped they're only thinking about themselves and not the harm that they are doing to the baby; the baby does feel pain, just the female doesn't feel the same pain that the baby does. The babies only chance is the mother's decision.
Plenty of real females that live in the real world, have been raped or molested and still gave birth and life to the innocent child!!
Another VERY important thing to note is that *birth control was also made illegal to those who weren't married at this time* and was only legalized a few years before roe v wade. I don't want to see a single "well they should've used protection" comment.
Cheyenne what’s your source?
@@juliaarnold1078 Knowing birth control was very illegal throughout history is well documented. www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=51170
birth control isnt effective condoms are but whats better is not being slut
Alec bowers Condoms aren’t 100% effective, it’s rubber and rubber breaks. You can’t call people “sluts” when these women were RAPED, and didn’t spread their legs voluntarily, as well as most women who’ve had an abortion.
Alec bowers it’s fairly normal to have sexual relationship.
My grandmother is 83 years old. She is one of the most conservative and religious people I know. She was also a nurse in the 1950s. She's told me stories about young women coming in and hemorrhaging from sitting on knitting needles or coat hangers. Perforating their organs by quack doctors. She remembers 12 and 13 year old girls who were raped and forced to go through pregnancy breaking their hips during labor, because caesarians weren't safe/common procedures yet, and their bodies were too small to carry a child. My grandmother is pro choice, because she doesn't want to see these things happen again.
Madelynn King 👏👏👏👏
It’s not the 50’s anymore tho.. I’m pro choice too but there are safer methods ya know.
I know little boys who had their feet and hands cut off from not being able to do their job efficiently enough. I know men who were killed or seriously injured from protecting a woman they didn't know from a man they didn't know. Bad things happen. Even to the good and the innocent people. You can not fix a wrong with a wrong. Most abortions have nothing to do with rape. Just irresponsible people. Even so. I don't see how forcing death on a child who never asked for it, is any different than forcing sex on someone who didn't ask for it.
I dont see how a clump of cells matter more than actual children. Shouldn't we be actually caring about ensuring that our children are safe rather than forcing people to have kids they dont want? its even worse to be so adamant about controlling other ppl to have babies they dont want but not do any part in the child's growth when its born. Ya'll be the people that goes triggered over a clump of cells in the first 5-6 weeks but not actually care for the unhappy children in the adoption cycle who's only chance at happiness is a literal lottery system with strangers. Thanks for making this world a miserable place for the actually born children. There are people that can't afford a child or should not be raising a child. There are children that have to sacrifice their education so that their new sibling gets enough to eat. Go adopt some kids or something or actually help the mom that wants to go through with the pregnancy. Ya'll think women just shit out babies after 9 months of doing nothing and then ya'll just wants to collect their baby free of charge. All I'm saying is, dont preach until you've done your part. I'm all for contraceptions and pills, they should always be the first thing if a couple doesnt want a child. Abortion is a last resort
The ones against you here in the comments... really horrible people.
PRO CHOICE AND PROUD. we need safe, LEGAL abortion laws. BECAUSE BANNING ABORTION EQUALS UNSAFE, FATAL ABORTIONS.
Good all those bitches who do abortion should die!
Jela SlavicPrincess you should too
And you should go fuck yourself.
Jela SlavicPrincess lol, oooh I'm sooo hurt
you are a murderer
Thank you for this. These stories need to be told.
Why doesn't this video have more views? Every American man and woman should watch this.
fbroom822 How about women who have had legal botched abortions. Time to hear their stories. Babies that survived PPH are testifying before congress.
Carolyn Lyford Sullivan Colonoscopy: 10 times deadlier than legal abortion. Pregnancy, carrying a child to term: 90 times deadlier than legal abortion.
Abortions aren't safe for the unborn child....
Dana Bazzi No, but the unborn child has limitless potential
This. Lord. smh These women are strong.
kissy0k8 no they are week ..strong is taking care of a child ..that are not strong
kissy0k8 they ran away from there problems
What person would want come into this world to grow up being a "problem"?
Sarah Caley I grew up knowing that I was a "mistake" and an "accident". I was almost aborted. yet my parents bucked up, gave birth to me, and loved me anyway.
I feel for these women, but there is never a good reason for an abortion. there Are always other options. period.
Shayna Na I disagree.
Watch "if these walls could talk" to see what women went through before abortion was legal. Let's keep a woman's right to choose legal, no more unnecessary deaths & pain please.
Layla Hassan so I guess you'll be adopting children from orphanages? saving children already born from further misery right? since you care for them soooo much, lol.Must be nice being so fucking naive!!
That was a good movie. I saw it when it came out.
"no more unnecessary deaths" but killing the unborn is fine. Interesting logic.
Lia Moya you could pretty much say that they are only alive in the same sense that plants are.
Andrea yeah but at least plants make oxygen and arent useless parasites. plus having a kid you dont want is just a fastlane to abuse, either in your own home or via foster homes
Why is this so much a political issue rather than a medical one? This is a medical procedure, where doctors and patients should have the say in this matter....
Metalforlife because it's murdering someone
Wrong, this is murder.
Because most abortions have no medical reason
Issues of 'life' ,(death penalty, the bomb, abortion etc), are by their nature, ethical, moral and political, because of their implications for civilisation. Having said that no one should 'condemn' a woman who's been through one!
It's political because it's a debate on whether or not it is murder.
It baffles me how Pro-Life people do not advocate as fiercely for reform or our foster care system. Just shows you that people believe what they want to, to fit their narrative.
That's bs... Of course we want the foster care system reformed. The problem is there is no easy fix.
@@myintx So the solution is to divert all the work you could be doing to achieve a difficult fix toward restricting abortion access? Like... that there's no easy fix is a poor excuse, to be honest. Nobody is looking for an easy fix. They're looking for a fix, period. The effort is worth it if more children are able to grow up in loving families.
@@myintx Forget about the foster care system cause I know its a hard topic to tackle, but what about providing good, effective contraception for women(not condoms)? I 'm sure that's achievable.
This is a lie. Pro-Lifers are advocating for better forster care.
@@hsdjsdshdhsdnsmsd6247 Not as a priority, no. If it were a priority, the people in power would be pushing bill after bill after bill to make things easier for foster care kids, not bill after bill after bill to ban abortions after 6 weeks and the like.
It baffles me that having an abortion was only legalized in 1973. Only 43 years ago. 43 years. Let that sink in.
Like how black people got the right to vote... which was 53 years ago.
Jetty_ wow
Kyra DIY it's true.
Sabrina Valenzuela Should have never been legalized...
Why do you wanna know my name? What shouldn't have been legalized?
Remember folks, when you say things like "Only whores have abortions" and "It's only right for women to die for their sin of abortion", chances are quite likely you're talking about one of your elderly female relatives. Your grandmother or great-auntie. Or on the other end of the spectrum, it could just as likely be the nice young married mother who lives next door, who you're so fond of.
An enormous percentage of women have an abortion during their lifetimes, so any time you're around a group of women chances are at least one of them have had an abortion- regardless of age, race, religion, or socioeconomic status. It could even be your own mom. So hey, howzabout you stop slandering them behind their backs to their faces. The LEAST you can do is face them with your accusations in the open, instead of back-stabbing them at work or church or the grocery store because you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
thank you for giving these women a platform, we cant go back
This is terrifying I can't believe some women had to go through this and might even still go through this. It shouldn't have to be that way! It's our bodies and and our choice! I'm disgusted in the fact that if you were raped you were looking upon badly for an abortion, it should NEVER be that way.
Actually, it is NOT your body killed in an abortion. No one should have a choice to legally kill an innocent human being.
I'm disgusted that people support the killing of innocent human beings.
myintx preach
myintx Yet no one seems to care about the children in foster homes who are abused daily. At the end of the day, it is the woman's choice and her right to do as she wishes. Whether you like it or not, its HER business and still HER body that harbors the child, thus SHE deserves to make the final decision. You dont know the circumstances that would lead for a woman to have an abortion and it is none of your damn business what she does with her body anyways. Worry about the kids already born in need.....
Say a woman wanted to have a baby and changed her mind when the baby was 2 days old... Can she kill the baby so the baby doesnt have to go into foster care? What about abortion at 7 or 8 months for that lame reason? Yes ,there are problems with foster care....that doesn't justify killing a newly unwanted newborn or an unborn child.
No one should have the "choice" to kill an innocent human being to make their life better - NO ONE.... A woman has to use "her body" to care for a newborn if she gives birth in her house... are you OK with the law FORCING her to make sure her newborn is OK? OMG, she may have to use "her body" to call 911 and then use "her body" to care for the baby until the police come - how ever long that takes..... And if your LAME "her body" excuse applies at 12 weeks, does it also apply at 30? Can she have her unborn childs arms and legs ripped off his or her body at 30 weeks for any reason she wants?
myintx What about rape victims? What about the risk of losing your life if you continue with a pregnancy? Regardless of the reason, it doesnt matter at the end of the day, the decision is solely up to the woman.You can only worry about your OWN body and have no right to tell a woman what to do with hers, no matter what the reason is. And it takes two to tango. Why dont you also express your frustration towards the men that got the woman pregnant? They are equally responsible in influencing what the woman's decision will be. Or, worry about things in your control instead. You disregard the idea of tending to already born children in need but all that is proving is you wouldn't give a damn about the kids who almost got aborted. Plenty of kids in need were almost aborted but live terrible lives as their parents didnt want them.
this video hits different now
"save the babies! all live is precious! They don't have a say!"
"wait, your trying to escape war and violence and terrorism? sorry, cant do."
-republicans/conservatives
powerful obama as someone who leans right/conservative most tines I have to agree with the left on this statement.
powerful obama "All life is precious...unless it steps on my property!" *click click boom*
Ima Maia on your property with allowance.
im a pro-choice conservative :)
Elizabeth me too :)
5yrs later, we are back to this.
It’s time that we share this again.
These women are so strong i just wanna be quiet here and listen to them speak about these horrid experiences. I cant believe how strong theyve been throughout
Julianna A. Yes, because you really need to be a strong person to kill a child.
Philly Makeup Artist As a mom of 2 kids, they don't start out as babies, they start out as a clump of cells. Stay in school
+Brittni Smith pardon me but who is this comment for? Cause my comment did not reflect any sort of ignorance on my end. I understand what a fetus is and how abortion works.
PurpleBunnySlippers She mentioned the other person's name so it's not for you
Yes, and they strongly promote murder of the unborn.
I was always tossed up between the rights of the unborn child and the rights of the woman carrying it. But I think this clears it up for me. It would just be safer if it was legal.
There are no right of a fetus that would be violated by an abortion anyway.
We can do a lot to lower the need for abortion without turning pregnant people into walking incubator that are better of dead.
Rape is gonna happen either way. It would be safer if they do it in a nice comfy place rather than a street but it still is RAPE.
Yeah well killing your baby really doesn't sound that safe does it. So if they're gonna do it illegally that's their own fault for being unsafe. Grow up
Sierra Nikole baby - a very young child, especially one newly or recently born. It's not yet a baby until it is fully formed and able to survive if birth were to occur.
Sierra Nikole So if they were raped it’s their own fault and they should die? Great logic there.
we are back at this point now. 2022. what a shame
Once, I was asked by a very religious family member of mine after a discussion on abortion if I would get one myself. They claimed that if I said no, I couldn't defend abortion. I answered that I have never been in the position of a young, pregnant mother, so who am I to say I would or wouldn't? I DO know, however, that it would frighten and disgust me to be in a position where my decision affects me, and ONLY me (a living, conscious, fully formed being who was and is wanted) but not be able to make it.
Women are not puppets whose behavior you can dictate and control just because you think she's "purer", "refined", or "classier" if she doesn't do this or that. When a decision you take starts affecting others, then you must be stopped. Until then, NO ONE can control you and certainly doesn't have a right to control your own body.
* P.S. No matter what you do, man or woman, you will be judged. People will say you are too tall, too short, too ugly, too slutty, too much of a prude, too fat, too liberal, too conservative... etc. So just take a step back, check that you aren't hurting anyone (physically or emotionally) and, if you aren't, ignore them.
I am a believer in Christ and will never get an abortion, because I hope to have a lifestyle that will not put me in such position. That is my beliefs. Now, it’s not the same for everyone. Abortion should be a choice because that is true politics. The Separation of church and State. I want to become an OBGYN, so I see the medical needs. Women should have the option, but I will NEVER opt for that. ❤️
Xanthe Spark is this pro choice or pro life?
Jennah K I respect your beliefs and thank you for respecting others.
theres no love here. Obstetrics and gynaecology
So decission to take a life dosen't affect others? How stupid can you be?
Here since roe vs wade has been overturned 😖what a sad day in America
many people say that an abortion is a sin but we have to put the fact that god is judging us aside. would you want your 14 year old daughter who was raped to have a child? i wouldnt . adoption is a choice but tell that to the 100,000 + kids in adoption services today. many who are molested and abused , We need safe abortion laws, yes i am a catholic but i also believe in the life of young women who didnt have a choice . #prochoice
Baby momma I believe in the life of young women too. The babies. They are being killed.
Lol, you call yourself a Catholic and promote murder? I bet you wear your rosary beads too while you steal and cheat.
Abortion is killing. You arent a true catholic. That is just against everything we believe in
cristi perez what's a true Catholic then if you go by everything in the book I bet you believe in slavery too.
christa l. I never said I go by all things in the book, I actually I am against some of them. But killing is a very serious sin so, it is like in the 10 commandments. Slavery isnt
this hits so hard right now...
I feel sick when she said that she got molested after getting an abortion. For the people that are totally against abortion have to realize that sometimes you don't have an option. For example when I was 12 my aunt got pregnant but, she had her tubes tied. that means she could possibly die, i think. she has enough kids already and she didnt have the money. so she did what she had to do. believe me, she didnt want to but she was not in a good place at that time. and for the teens that get pregnant, i don't know what to say to that. it's a whole different story. but just know that abortion is a choice, except for the moments that it's not. so if you know someone that had an abortion, let them explain what happened before you say anything. for all people that want to argue with me, I'm not gonna respond, you're just wasting your time for me to not look at the comment.
Its called adoption lol.
@Fawn
You clearly didn't read her whole post. She said her aunt had a medical condition that could have costed both hers and the babies life.
Mashallah, these ladies are so brave for sharing these stories. Peace and love ❤️
+Layla Hassan stop being nosy if she supports these women it makes her more of a Muslim than you are because Islam is all about love.
you act like religious people can't be liberal
Layla Hassan stfu
Layla Hassan ok you can not understand just like how people can not understand your ability to sympathize with the events that you've never experienced. But what you're not gonna do, is shame women for doing what they rightfully have the freedom to do. It's not your body, or your health and well being. Nobody cares if it's the "babies fault". It's not to punish a baby. It's because she doesn't want to have one.
Layla Hassan nobody is forcing you to get an abortion so you're opinion about what you would do doesn't matter or relate
This made me cry because this could be a very real reality again.
But it doesn't make you cry that babies are being slaughtered.
@@noahfenn6449 oh yeah im sure fetuses will cry and tell you all about how hurt they are.
@@elenatoplek3897 Women who died during illegal abortions also cannot cry or feel pain.
@@isaacvazquez627 wait are you dumb? They felt pain during the process wtf? You don't really sound smart 😂
@@elenatoplek3897 corpses feel pain? Yeah, my steak screamed in agony as I ate it at lunch.
2022 and this is where we’re headed back to
Abortion is a woman's choice. You can't dictate if they are allowed to have a child or not. If abortion was illegal, we would probably have hundreds of thousands of kids in orphanages, unloved, and/or unwanted. What if you conceived a child from rape? What if you didn't have any money to raise a child? See, this is why abortion should be legal.
Preach these women for stepping up to share their stories. I have so much respect for them.
And let's not forget if abortion is illegal some people would go as far as to try to give themselves an abortion. And they die of exposer.....its sad really...
Cool sushi Indeed.
Skeledraw Valid points but you are here commenting about supporting abortion because your mom didn't abort you.. think about all the kids that could have done wonderful things.. If you support abortions you're just supporting mass genocide.. It shouldn't be the decision of the mother.. There is a life inside of her and if she doesn't want it then put the child in foster care.
+Why do you wanna know my name? The foster care is overcrowded. And you can't force someone to do manual labor.
Why do you wanna know my name?
Right because America takes care of its children and single mothers OH WAIT. "No child left hungry" sound familiar to you? How about focusing on feeding the ones we have before trying to ban abortion lmaooo
LETS NEVER GO BACKWARDS.......
How cool Dr.samuels was my first gyno in school and was so helpful in nice so cool to see her on here .
nini I
i was scrolling through some of the comments and i was honestly kind of overwhelmed - in a good way - with the amount of comments that were prochoice related. i was so prepared for mean comments about the women in these videos or some sort of prolife comments ( i mean they're still were but less then expected). reading all of those prochoice comments made me happy and hopeful for a brighter future for women, our equality, and our ability to someday make the choices we have the right to make with our bodies. :)
Claire Melander pro choice is pro murder. Pro life is saving lives.
Brian Leonard Are you a man? I must ask. Seriously.
Brian Leonard I agree man the only time I think abortion is necessary when the mothers life is in danger but if she’s fine and her life isn’t in danger then honestly why end someone’s life before they can live it and when u say u don’t want the baby, adoption is always an option and hell maybe u’ll see that baby u created, hopefully forgetting for a second how u got pregnant and just give the baby a chance
You have the right to choose what to do with your body? Also slauthering a little life? That is not equality it's egoism.
M. lit it's about all women not just one individual.
Whether you believe in abortion or not. It's clear the safest choice is to have them be legal, because they will happen no matter what
Murder should never be legalized. That is like saying, “School shooting are going to happen no matter what, so we should legalize them”
No.
Hope Martinez Legal definition of murder: “The killing of a person being by a sane person, with intent.” Babies in the womb are legally considered “fetuses”, but not people= not legally considered murder.
Nope not true because if you decide that you get to murder someone that’s kind of what you get
But "pro life" people don't care if grown women die. They only care if fetuses aren't born.
Those are some strong women, abortion is our right. Nothing should change that
TYLER ARTIST strong women do what's best for themselves and worry about their own uterus and you should do the same. If your reason for saying that is religion ask yourself if god is all knowing and if everything done on earth is gods will. If god wanted that baby to be born it would have been. If god wanted to make these women stronger by having them get pregnant and not keep the baby that's what he will do. Worry about the lives of the starving and unloved children in the world if you can't focus on your own.
TYLER ARTIST a woman has the right to do what they wish with their own body and that ends there. People who argue that, are people that i really do question their capacity of sympathy.
TYLER ARTIST well scientifically speaking they only have a heartbeat i believe after 12weeks so would u use that same argument for a woman that aborted a younger then 12weeks embryo?
TYLER ARTIST I don't think that you should take away the right to choose if you would like to abort simply on the basis of religion. I'm not sure what religion you follow but I think that religion is supposed to guide you to a good and happy life... I say make your choices as a woman and sole owner of your own body. I seriously thought you were a guy I'm sorry but it's because most men argue for pro-life and say it's a woman's responsibility to take care of a child but I think any real can take on that job as well.
***** you were raised by a conservative family I would bet. Being so young and having having an opinion that basically oppresses you fascinates me. Give me one actually good reason why a woman doesn't own her body... also people who are pro life are also the type of people who like to cut social healthcare and say it's the parents job to provide for kids. Politically they're the type to worry about themselves and stick their noses in other people's business on issues that don't involve them
This is so Heartbreaking.
THE TEARS 😭 These women are so strong! God bless them!
Lmfao. God ain't real
These women are so strong. They have been through so much. You women are amazing and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You did what you wanted to do with your body, and that's ok.
Sure they've been through so much - but calling the murder of a child ''ok'' sure proves how much of an idiot you are.
The fetus cannot survive without the mother's body and nutrients, so why can't the mother do what she wants with it? It's not like it can survive without the mother, so why can't she have an abortion? Also, many women would not survive childbirth, so they choose to abort.
+Anonimoose and forcing someone to give birth sure proves how much of an idiot you are.
Eleanor Schugel saying many women wouldn't survive is simply not true, the numbers of those occurrences are very low. Secondly, that's like saying it's fine for a parent to kill their baby because they are the ones feeding and protecting him/her... that's a very dark way to see things... Just because you are keeping someone alive doesnt give you the right to end it
TheFemaleNoob who's to say when a baby becomes a baby? And even so you are the one who is uneducated. There are abortions where the baby is STILL ALIVE after the prcedure and they don't even attempt to save it... i thought the argument was that after its born it's a human (still an inhumane mindset) but apparently that's not the limit either.
I can’t believe I am having to come back to watch this in 2022.
Thank you for this! Those strories need to be heard! Break the silence!
this is real strength, this is a real eye opener I swear.
these women had to undergo such pain and truma this is so sad how you had to feel to have an abortion
mclovin indahizzie right? What pro life people need to realize is that even if it’s made illegal it will definitely still happen. For the people who think abortion is murder would you rather end one life or two?
Don't forget that the majority of women who have abortions are already raising children at home, and those kids need their moms to come home safe and sound.
mclovin indahizzie women don't have to undergo such pain and trauma if they didn't choose abortion. abortion causes more than just pain and trauma.
Emerly Egg to answer the last part of your comment-for the people who think abortion is murder, would you rather end one life or two, I say ending a life period is not necessary.
suzbone don't the children want to see their new baby brother or sister
Evangelists would watch this and cheer for the pain the women went through. So Christian of them. Facepalm
how speculative of you!
@ghetso girl i would never want a woman to go through what any of those women went through ... legally or illegally. they are annihilating human beings in the womb and hurting women physiologically, mentally and spiritually. it's a travesty to call abortions 'women's rights' when it is inherently murder. i can't speak for all Christians but on behalf of this Christian, i would never wish that pain on anyone.
@ghetso girl protecting the sanctity of human life matters even if it offends. and yeah, morals are cool ... they are THE fabric that holds humanity together.
This made me cry because no women should have to go through this
No unborn child should be killed either.
myintx I completely agree
Its a cluster of CELLS
@@MaeveIsConfused so are you
Eve like you
Here we go again
We’re back to where we were before roe v wade 🙁
I can not believe that in *2019* this is even an issue. Abhorrent.
There was this girl getting repeatedly raped by her biological father I remember reading about. She was around thirteen or fourteen, I think, and had a younger sister who was also getting raped by him. She managed to make herself miscarry a couple of times, according to one of her friends, but the last time she fell pregnant, she tried giving herself an abortion with a broken cola bottle. Poor girl ended up bleeding to death.
I have always been Pro Choice, and I will always continue to be so. And I don't care what some old, disgusting men hypocritically preach who already paid for their mistresses' abortions (or any of the ill-educated people in the comments for that matter), denying the procedure will only result in more women dying.
Very very happy and grateful these women shared their stories with us.
Layla Hassan bitch sit down
Wow you all are so brave. I'm absolutely shocked and humbled.
Heartbreaking. All these sacrifices gone to waste. Could’ve gotten rain for me and my family to last for at least an entire week
I want all pro life people to watch this just to have a sense of perspective
Makes complete sense.
TYLER ARTIST I agree, abortion is wrong. But this video just shows that even if it was illegal women would be still doing it behind the scenes and hurting themselves and the baby in the process. People need to understand that it's not just black and white(meaning it's not simple). And having a sense of perspective is always a good thing. Keeping an open mind to others views is the only way we as humans progress.
Kayla Hudder Too bad God doesn't exist, so you're waiting for nothing.
+Kayla Hudder will you be raising and paying for the childs upbringing?? I think not. So shut up and sit the fuck down
Kayla Hudder - I am a christian and I must say, you are one disgusting individual. Who are YOU to judge someone else on this topic? May God forgive your harsh words.
And in 2022 this is what we want legalized??
This was so hard to watch. Omg.
It's crazy because religious people don't know it won't stop. It just becomes unsafe.
May 5, 2022. It's happening again.
I feel physically sick. This just shows how back then men thought our only purpose was to have children and stir care of children. We weren't allowed contraceptives and if we got pregnant (two person job btw) we were expected to keep the children even if it would destroy our lives. Men, didn't think twice about it.
They still don't. We still have the anti-choice movement.
Adachi Selas yup all men
LEGOAT JAMES Don't make this into a #notallmen thing. This is a women's issue (and, of course, an issue for trans men and nonbinary folks with a uterus) that is and has historically been predominantly dictated by (cis) men in power.
ramywiles only 2 genders
LEGOAT JAMES Ok buddy.
pro choice all the way, no women should ever go through this..😥
I know this is outrageous
Wow... This is heartbreathing. I can't ever imagine going through with an abortion. These stories definitely need to be told. This is their truth.
It is one of the hardest decisions a woman can make especiaply,when they can't give that child everything.
This makes my skin crawl.
I had one for good reason. I'm not ashamed either.
Yup I dare you to come at me. Your opinion means nothing. I sleep well at night. Had I kept him/her, I wouldn't. I'd hate my life. The baby would've hated his/her life too.
I know it's been 4 year's but I want you to know I support the choice you made and will continue to .
This made me cry.
Years ago a co-workers' wife was pregnant with complications, my co-worker was told the only way to save his wifes' life was to terminate. They chose not to, she died and she took the baby with her, they both died. It should be between the doctor, the woman and the husband or next of kin. Not the government. The side who's is claiming they want less government intrusion wants to pass intrusive laws???
This video has undoubtedly given me a different perspective about this situation . 😥
This video changed my mind. Thank you.
Abortion is an IMPORTANT and VITAL healthcare option that should ABSOLUTELY be legal and accessible!!!!!!!
Casen Stephens No one said it was "natural" but a woman should be able to do whatever the fuck she wants with her body. Would you rather there be more horrible stories of botched abortions and an overflow of children in the foster care system? Think before you speak.
Abortion is evil and sick. It has made our USA a NAZI America.
How would you like to be torn apart by surgical instruments? How would you like to be burned alive by saline solution? Need I say more?
"How would you like to be burned alive by saline solution?"
Thanks, I needed that joke!
"How would you like to be burned alive by saline solution?"
Thanks, I needed that joke!
thank you so much for sharing these stories, it really touched me and others
Hopefully you were touched thinking about the millions of lives lost since Roe V Wade
I kinda feel like we have too many people having babies that aren't ready. it's better to have a child when you're ready then have it growing up with the struggles. it really changes a person. but it is sad killing something that could be but you should do what's best. Use protection people and stay safe!!
Well you have to see it from their P.O.V. People have different ideas on what is considered "a life". To some there is a life as soon as a sperm and egg meet, to others it doesn't. Is either side correct? Who knows.
You are never ready.
To have family, kids that you can share love with, grow with, take care of each other, secure retirement ;-)
"The pregnant woman doesn't have a life, obviously." People with that perspective seem ignorant of the fact that a woman is a person with a life and advanced cognition. But let's throw that all away because we believe that cells are worth more than people. It's okay to abort animal fetuses, for some reason. War is somehow okay, to send our families to die and kill the loved ones of other families. It is not okay, however, to remove an unwanted nest of cells from a body.
10/10 logic, humanity is doomed.
Good points from both sides. This is why before even debating abortion we need to have protection be provided everywhere, and we need to do more education on protection and rape, as well as self defense. We need to prevent something controversial from happening in the first place before we debate it.
I was like "i'm so glad abortions are legal and I nor the other women in my life will have to endure this", then to remember how that right could be taken away in this day and age. Baffling
this is so heartbreaking
This is a really interesting point of view that I think people really need to think about more. I live in Ireland and right now a lot of people are fighting to legalise abortion, I really feel like this aspect of it is something that the government needs to take into account more.
Niamh Doyle I feel for you. The situation in Ireland is dire. I read on the BBC about a woman forced to carry her dead child to 4 months pregnant because she could not have the dead fetus removed, as apparently it classed as abortion (even though the fetus had died). Keeping that fetus for so long caused this woman a lot of emotional distress and I wish the government would change their stance to at least allow for those circumstances.
makes sense. as ireland becomes more diverse, its need to consider abortion is taken more seriously into consideration.
these women are so strong.
you mispelled "slutty"
Be careful ladies...old men seek to take away this right.
Why shouldn't unborn babies have the right to live?
tbh if a women can prove she was raped and not just claim the man did it or it was incest then yeah thats ok but when theres a woman who cant keep her legs closed no she should not be allowed to get an abortion because of actions and consequences it shouldnt be a right to kill something just because u dont want it
I just want to give them each a big hug because they just seem so sad 😭
Giving birth to an unwanted child has to be many times more wrong than ending an unwanted pregnancy.
Ending a life you mean. Killing a child, a baby. There I fixed that for you.
@@kva5751 so what's your suggestion, we should end even more lives by making abortions unsafe?
I think most abortions are necessary especially if the mother and the baby are at risk because of some medical condition, rape, incest, or if they don't have money and can't pay any medical bills. Idk how I feel about the people that just want to have one but at the same time I get it. If they're not ready to have a kid then they won't. There are so many kids waiting for a family, someone that would adopt them. So if you're against abortions do me a favor, go to an abortion clinic talk to one of the girls that are about to get an abortion and promise them that you will be responsible for the medical bills and everything she needs during the pregnancy. Then adopt the baby. But if you're not going to do that then you shouldn't be fighting against it.
Patricia Magana thank you!!
And even if there aren't medical or financial factors, like... why would you force somebody into parenthood against their will? Or, framed a different way, why would you force a child into a situation where their parents view them as a consequence (or something equally negative) rather than as an enthusiastic choice (or something equally positive)? Why is that a family dynamic you'd want to see perpetuated just because the alternative makes you uncomfortable? That's the kicker for me, is realizing that some people straight up don't want and don't even LIKE kids... no child should be forced to grow up depending on someone who doesn't want them around. Part of why I've come to see pro-choice as actually pro-life and "pro-life" as anti-abortion or pro-birth.
and people want to reverse roe v. wade WHAT THE FUCK
This is heartbreaking. These women had to go through so much pain just to see that decades later we still have to fight for this shit. Still our bodies do not belong to us entirely.
This breaks my heart, made me cry. Women go through a lot. Its 2917 and more and more girls resort to backstreet abortions because some medical practitioners make them feel shameful for their decisions.
This is what we are going back to
the thing that all these anti abortion people need to understand is this. The criminalization of abortion does not make it disappear, it makes it dangerous.
549621jon So should we legalize drugs?
Dana Bazzi I’m comparing killing a baby to doing drugs
LEGOAT JAMES The point remains that legalizing these things makes society better, because it doesn't relegate the people who need help to the shadows for fear of undue legal repercussions.
ramywiles no killing a baby should never be socially acceptable
Good, they can suffer the same their victims do.
theese stories are horrifying but they need to be told. thank you to theese women and others out there like them 🙏
5:25 truth sayer. It’s so sad we’ve gone back
I'm pro-choice but I still have respect for these women for going through what they did.
im freaking out...this makes my skin crawl
This video gave me chills. I love that these women can tell their stories years later. I hope their stories can help someone today!
These comments including mine should be disabled.
Harv What is wrong with you???
Harv Oh my god at first I thought you where just being mean. But now I see you have a good sense of humor!
Harv don't worry you're great! ;)
I think its good they didn't disable the comments. They're probably hoping this will start necessary conversation.
Michelle Williams tf why are you pro life smh people need to speak out for what needs to be heard 😪
5 years later, roe v wade has been overturned. What a devastating time for this country
I believe in abortion. this is why it needs to be legal. these women shouldn't have to experience this extra pain. it's hard enough I'm sure to make that decision to have the abortion.
I have an idea. This will solve all of their problems: STOP BEING SLUTS, USE TWO FORMS OF BIRTH CONTROL AND BE RESPONSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no painful procedures, and no difficult decisions. I know, I know: I am a genius.
day 2304 What about rape victims?
Rape is less than 1% of abortions. Most of the women who want abortions have not been raped. As for actual rape victims, it is sad what happened to that person, but I do not think it is the child's fault.
"stop being sluts" wow bye you're canceled.
day 2304 no you're just a judgmental piece of shit
I truly hope this can change peoples minds. These women are so brave.
I don’t get why people aren’t pro choice having a baby when you aren’t ready is the worst thing in the world
Even if you don't support abortion women should be able to have a CHOICE you never know what could have caused the pregnancy, the steps of prevention taken that failed, rape, unable to support. No matter what religion or belief a women's right to decide what happens to HER body should not be taken away, so even if you don't believe at least let women decide to make the choice on their own.
This is so sad. How dare these evil people try to take away women's rights. I'm sick.
Lmao
I live in Ireland where abortion is still illegal unless the woman's life is in danger (even then... sometimes they are told that this is a Catholic country and are still refused). The only reason we don't have as many stories like this is because we are so close to the UK and are able to access abortion pills online.
Glad things got better for Ireland :)
I'm annoying myself reading all these idiotic comments.
me and my partner have been together for 6 years and are not sure if we want kids at all. so are we just never allowed to have sex? if both of the 2 forms of birth control we use fail (0.5 percent chance) I'm just supposed to suffer through pregnancy and childbirth, and we are just supposed to raise a child we don't want? I don't think so.
bubblegummel
It's called adoption
Its called abortion and its also called a right.
isabella thebestpersonever too many unwanted children in the system already.
I'm going to cry this is so sad
Geeez these women are so strong
And now they’re trying to take the Roe V. Wade law :(
So I was spending some time with my father since I don't get to see him that often anymore, and as we were driving to my brothers house, I saw two women holding up signs saying things like, "Abortions are killing those without a voice!" And o other things like, "You are disgusting if you have an abortion!" And honestly, I think it's pathetic that they would go on a street and parade those signs like they are proud of what they're doing. It's horrible.
