“I’m one lucky girl.”…”It will always be a special memory for me.”…”I love how positive it is.”
If you believe these sentiments sound like things a mom who just experienced the miracle of childbirth might say, you are sadly mistaken. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Emily Letts, a 25-year-old woman from New Jersey, made these statements in an interview with the Huffington Post when talking about the video she made describing her very early abortion.
After she posted a video of her abortion procedure on YouTube, entitled My Positive Abortion Story, Letts became an overnight sensation among abortion advocates across the country. Hailed as “brave,” “courageous,” and “pioneering,” Letts claims she shared her story via YouTube last month in the hopes of “ending the shame that accompanies abortion.”
While shocking and disturbing, Letts’s YouTube video isn’t the first attempt to destigmatize abortion in America. Last year, the 1 in 3 Campaign, a project sponsored by Advocates for Youth, launched their nationwide, grassroots movement to “end the stigma and shame women are made to feel about abortion.” Named for the statistic that one out of three American women will have an abortion in their lifetime, this nonprofit uses storytelling and public awareness campaigns to normalize abortion — pushing the false narrative that abortion leaves women feeling empowered, relieved, and uplifted.
Unfortunately, the stories advanced by activists like Emily Letts and organizations like 1 in 3 are far from the norm. As evidenced by hundreds of testimonies posted on AbortionMemorial.com (a website created and maintained by Human Coalition that allows post-abortive women and men to memorialize the loss of their aborted child), abortion commonly results in depression, feelings of deep sorrow, and years filled with regret.
The more than 240 memorials shared on AbortionMemorial.com expose the false narratives advanced by abortion advocates. Abortion does not empower or uplift women. On the contrary, it results in a downward spiral of shame and regret that is often felt for decades.
Abortion advocates are now turning to desperate measures to try to normalize abortion, as illustrated by Emily Letts’s provocative video. But those of us on the front lines of the battle for LIFE know the truth: abortion demoralizes and exploits women.
As one of the fastest-growing pro-life organizations in the country, Human Coalition is on a mission to reach abortion-determined women and men before they decide to get an abortion, and we invite you to help us.
It’s through your generosity that Human Coalition connects with women facing crisis pregnancies and guides them to local life-affirming pregnancy centers where they will be compassionately and fully equipped to deal with their unplanned pregnancies. Now that’s true empowerment.
Human Coalition and its participating life-affirming pregnancy centers have already verifiably helped rescue more than 1,900 unborn babies and their families from abortion, and with your help we can help rescue many more.
She kept saying, “I don’t feel… bad”. It is sad that she has hardened her heart and she is able to be in the place where she doesn’t feel… There are people who do not feel… they have a condition called narcissistic-personality-disorder. They simply cannot feel for others. This may… Read more »
I viewed this video, a few weeks after my daughter choose to have an emergency C- section, in hopes of saving the life of her baby girl, 23 weeks, 6 days. My daughter choose to give her baby a chance for life, unlike Emily. My heart goes out to Emily… Read more »
Murderer!! How could you just act like you did nothing wrong by doing an abortion. There is no such thing as a positive abortion!! In reality there are moments of regret and depression at times. Ladies,, don’t believe in such a thing. Abortion is murder and a woman shouldn’t say.… Read more »
Here is a happy murderer. Good Grief!
The great deceiver is at the helm of this campaign. The sad truth is that many naive souls will be wounded due to it. So much blood. Just ask, about every piece of news or propaganda, “what are they NOT reporting?” Many cuts were made to this video. I wonder:… Read more »
This experience was nothing like I had or the ones described to me by over 80 women. This did not seem even close. Many of the women I have spoken with were never able to get pregnant again and many had miscarriages after the abortion. This video feels fake to… Read more »
It’s pretty sad that someone can post this on You tube. I guess it hasn’t occurred to her that if her mom went through the same procedure she did right now at the time she was pregnant with her then she won’t be in that operating room and showing us… Read more »
This just makes me want to cry, thinking of her precious baby getting killed…. I’m 16 weeks pregnant and have loved my child since seeing the pink lines on the pregnancy test…. And watching it’s heart beat on an ultrasound at 7 weeks was a breathtaking miracle!! I can’t imagine… Read more »
If she could’ve seen a ultrasound she would’ve know there was a human baby there & not to commit murder!
‘So glad I could make a baby’?? Making a life is a beautiful creation, not a science project!! Wow, I’m heartbroken for her, she seems to have no life I her eyes…one can also feel she wasn’t sure I her heart if hearts that she wanted to do this..she keeps,reminding… Read more »
I am so glad to hear that she was so excited to know she “could make a baby”…it seemed she was just as excited to know with a few deep breaths during a “procedure” she could “kill a baby”….Abortion is murder and no woman every gets over it.
My sentiments, exactly.
