Yes, I had heard about the girl who filmed her own abortion, posted it on YouTube and then discussed it in Cosmo.
No, I didn’t want to comment. But apparently, as per this Gawker article “only men” are weighing in. This is surely because the vast majority of pundits are men, not because women approve of her decision to a) have an abortion and b) post it on the internet.
I’m not really a pundit, but hopefully my words about this count for something.
First off, before I found out she worked at an abortion clinic, I knew she was the most ideological of ideological abortion supporters. AKA, not my target audience. It simply is not normal to be THAT pro-abortion. THAT public.
Secondly, yes, I did go back and forth between swearing and sadness upon reading the story. With women who flippantly end lives in a public manner, that will very likely always be my response. It is awfully hard for a person like me not to get angry–followed up by a good dosage of sad–and then angry again. Then sad. Repeat. Because life is a very special thing, and she is making a total and complete charade of it.
In one brazenly irresponsible action–with the attitude of an impulsive teenager–she is putting her immaturity on display for all the world to see. She thinks she is teaching the world something. Which she is, just not what she thinks.
I’ll leave it at that.

I sensed a profound sadness from the young woman who aborted her child. Almost immediately, she indicated that she had no long-term partner. Perhaps if she did have the support of the father, things would have turned out differently. Very sad article.
Elizabeth Scalia has written a fine piece on this. Worth the read.

I share your sadness and anger response. As for the lack of female feedback on this topic, there is a very good online response by a woman here: http://truedignityofwomen.wordpress.com/2014/05/07/why-i-filmed-my-abortion-a-response-part-1/
She probably got pregnant so she could have an abortion, and prove how pro-abortion she is.
I wouldn’t call what she is displaying immaturity. I would call it pathological narcissism. She uses”I” constantly, she keeps the sonogram but never does she indicate any awareness of what pregnancy is, the presence of another in her uterus.
Well put, Mary Ann.
