Woman Films Her Own Abortion To Show World How ‘Cool’ It Is

Emily Letts, a counselor at a New Jersey abortion clinic, decided to film her own abortion and post it on YouTube as a form of positive inspiration to women who are contemplating having the procedure but worry that they might feel guilty afterward.
Letts has no such guilt. She recalls the procedure with fondness. She even describes it as “birth-like,” and said it made her feel good, just like giving birth would.
Letts, whose job involves encouraging women to have abortions, sees her own abortion as an entirely positive experience, and hopes the video will prove to be both instructional and morally persuasive. She feels better about herself every time she watches the video, according to Cosmopolitan.
“Still, every time I watch the video, I love it,” she wrote. “I love how positive it is. I think that there are just no positive abortion stories on video for everyone to see. But mine is.”
The disturbing video has been viewed 10,000 on YouTube. During the three-minute procedure, she repeatedly tells herself how lucky she is. She also hums to herself.
After the abortion is over, she says, “Cool. I feel good.”
Letts writes that having an abortion and giving birth produce similarly happy feelings. Despite aborting her child, she kept the sonogram.
“I remember breathing and humming through it like I was giving birth,” she wrote. “I know that sounds weird, but to me, this was as birth-like as it could be. It will always be a special memory for me. I still have my sonogram, and if my apartment were to catch fire, it would be the first thing I’d grab.”
The response has been overwhelmingly negative. The video was downvoted more than 300 times, and received only 100 likes.
Still, she is hopeful the video will inspire women who have had abortions–or want to have abortions–to let go of their guilt. Letts certainly has none.
She does feel a little bad about getting pregnant in the first place, though.
“I do feel a little irresponsible and embarrassed about not using birth control,” she wrote. “I mean, Emily, wake up! What are you doing? I was going against the advice I give to patients all the time. So I had them put an IUD in after the abortion. I was able to learn and move forward. And I am grateful that I can share my story and inspire other women to stop the guilt.”
ThinkProgress hailed Letts for filming her abortion and putting a positive spin on it.
“For instance, Letts’ story helps demonstrate the fact that abortion isn’t a barbaric procedure that needs additional regulation in order to make it safer,” wrote ThinkProgress.

She must be equating her baby with a tumor. What a sick b*tch!

It's not hard to see how progressive ideology led to the Nazi death camps, is it?

That is so sick. I have always said that "abortion is the liberal's sacrifice to the god of convenience". It is almost like she is making a human sacrifice.......

As a Jew, perhaps I see it with a special clarity.

Just look at your avatar. The frog has decided he really likes the water at about 212 degrees.

The answer is contained in your question.
-
I wonder if she consciously realizes how much of a sociopath she really is.
-
Will this torment her in her later years? I pray so.
-

Probably as much as do other sociopaths, like our President, for example.
-
I wonder who paid for this marvelous, uplifting experience? I'm betting the money trail comes back to you and me somehow.
-
If she does decide to have babies, I wonder how she will explain this video to them?

Wow. Great question.

"Sociopath?" I don't think so. I suspect that the words that she would use to describe herself would be: free, liberated, enlightened, progressive, edgy, and fearless. As warped as it may sound, I think that she believes she is providing some great service to womyn and humanity in toto. smh

I pray that she's unable to conceive again and she dies old and alone. :chairbang:

Maybe so, but in truth her video is as good a piece of pro-life propaganda as you are likely to find. I was thinking of turning it into a video myself, but once I looked at it I realized it speaks for itself. I could not improve upon it in terms of the power it has to persuade women not to have an abortion.

I hope that you are right. But I really don't know, in this day and age, how people (women in particular) view something like that. I just really don't know.

You Tube has to disallow the comments function. That should speak volumes.

I think the video goes too far even for most progressives. She seems proud of herself, and that's pretty twisted.

Progressives ARE proud of abortion. It's practically a sacrament in their religion. Make no mistake. What they cannot stand is any revelation of the truth. This video reveals them for what they are, and that makes it very powerful indeed.

I guess what I mean is that a lot of mothers are at least a little torn about the decision and upset that it came to that. A lot of women are haunted by their decision to have an abortion for the rest of their lives. How nonchalantly she goes through with it and how unaffected she seems after the fact makes me feel a little ill.

You are absolutely right, massadvj. If there is one issue, and one alone that makes progressives proud, it's abortion.
It's the centerpiece of their valueless values.
It's the issue they will fight for above every other issue.
The only regret they have about this video is it shows a progressive woman in worship of her god.
And they don't want the American people to know how deeply depraved and ugly they really are.
-
Even with all the hype and hullabaloo from the left, when she is alone, in the dark of night, she stands a great chance at becoming a post birth abortion, her own suicide.
-
Pure filth . She is going straight to hell for this.
-

Psychopath.
A psychopath kills.

I wonder . . . .
Liberals lie. They lie a lot. Their cause requires it.
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this abortion clinic "counselor" is an actress in a staged abortion. I don't know if there's any way to know for sure that she killed a baby because I freely admit I didn't watch the video. If I wanted to see violence I'd turn on Cops instead of watching a woman kill her utterly and completely defenseless child.
Maybe she did kill a baby in the video. If so, she has no idea of the anguish she's likely to experience later in life. Saying it's "cool" and "special" sounds overblown to me, as if she's trying to convince herself that she didn't kill a baby but can't quite get herself to believe her own lie.

You may be right, rb.

I watched (wish I hadn't). It reminded me of coming back off a bad operation. Cold and detached, yet joking around to pretend everything is normal. Maybe she is a supremely good actress - but I'd peg it as real.
