Reddit user shares horrifying story of medical abortion
“I just want my baby back…I’m so sorry.”
A Reddit user recently shared what she described as a heartbreaking experience suffering through a medical abortion and seeing her 10-week-old baby suffer and die.
“20 minutes ago I had an MA [medication abortion] at home and it was the most painful thing I’ve ever gone through. I’m so sorry little bean,” the user wrote on the board “Medical Gore” in the now-archived post. “Bean was moving its legs and heart was still beating when they came out in one push.”
She described more at length the process of the medically induced abortion, as reported by Live Action:
First my water broke, then another push later baby came out quite quickly along with big clots. I immediately felt relief, so I grabbed a glove and fished in the toilet and baby was in there.
As soon as I pulled baby out, legs were moving and I could feel the heartbeat in my hand. Heartbeat slowly faded and stopped moving. Definetely [sic] the most traumatic thing either of us have been through. :(
She also included photos of the tiny unborn child. The Reddit user also explained that she does not believe she was properly prepared for what was really involved with a medical abortion.
“I feel like I wasn’t given all the info I needed going into it,” she wrote. “I was told it would feel like a period, but my experience was much worse. Definetely [sic] the most pain I’ve ever felt in my whole life, and wish I was prepared for it.”
“I literally gave birth, and nobody told me it would be like that,” she also said. “The contractions were so intense it was unbearable. About 15 mins before it was out I started telling my partner to call someone because I couldn’t handle it anymore.”
What is particularly heartbreaking is that this young woman was not prepared for the fact that she would see her own child when he was expelled from her body by the drugs taken to induce abortion.
“I was not informed the fetus would be whole. So it was quite a shocking moment when I saw it. I don’t think I was prepared well enough at all for the entire experience,” she wrote. “I consulted with a doctor and unfortunately they did not mention once that I would see that and what to do with it after.”
“I feel that they sugar coated all of it to make it seem easy but it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through,” she also wrote.
Our heart absolutely breaks for the number of women who have to suffer through the horrors of abortion without being prepared for what it really means. Our culture perceives abortion as a simple, innocent medical procedure, but there is nothing innocent about ending the life of a human being who is growing inside of their own mother. So many women are just as victimized by the cruel, cynical abortion industry as the millions of unborn children whose lives are so callously ended by it.
What I hate about this is that she has so much more concern for herself. Yes she mentions the baby and the heartbeat. But she at some point says that it was a decision that she had to make. Murdering your baby? She talks more about herself than her baby. And I hate that. So she was well informed, she would have went ahead with it still. If she was told that it's going to feel like more than a period, that she is going to give birth, that her baby will be whole and possibly still alive, she would have did it anyway she just would have known what to expect. And that's heartbreaking! I literally had to take my thoughts and turn them and pray for her, that she does not get pregnant again. Should she get pregnant again, that she doesn't murder that baby too. What kind of man allows that to happen? He didn't even advocate for his baby. He didn't protect the baby at all. So blood is on his hands also.
Why does it seem as we get farther along in the last few years the stories just keep getting worse and worse. There does seem to be a turn in people's reactions toward how much harm these "medical" decisions do to everyone involved including our Lord.
