“This is the Best Choice” – Unexpectant Mother Live-Tweets Her Abortion
Posted by Enrique on 03.03.2010
Inquiring minds...
One nifty thing about being human is our unending desire to make the world a better place in some barely perceptible way through trivial, symbolic actions. On the terribly amusing blog Stuff White People Like, this human drive is explicated by the entry for Awareness. The belief that raising awareness is an end unto itself "allows [white people] to feel that sweet self-satisfaction [of solving a problem] without actually having to solve anything or face any difficult challenges." Thanks to the unholy trinity of YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, the power to raise awareness in our modern era is positively devastating.
One woman who has taken the art of raising awareness to a whole ‘nother level is Angie Jackson of Tampa, Florida. Recently, Ms. Jackson used her various social networking tools to "demystify" a certain treatment she was undergoing to cure her of an unfortunate medical condition. Apparently, some people have a problem with this.
The story so far…
Last month, Ms. Jackson provided an unusual account of the decision to terminate her recent pregnancy on her Twitter page. I'm not familiar with Twitter myself, and I wasn't able to immediately find the tweets about her abortion, even though I spent almost 90 seconds scrolling through her page before giving up. (As I always say, if something's not worth doing, it's not worth doing right.) But some folks in the MSM actually went through the trouble of locating the source material. Thanks, MSM!
The posts, which have drawn outrage from abortion opponents online, can be graphic.
"Cramps are getting a bit more persistent," Jackson typed into Twitter on Feb. 21 under her username "antitheistangie."
A few hours later she posted, "Definitely bleeding now."
Oh c'mon, ABC News, that's not nearly graphic enough. You have to go to the British press to get the really gory details:
"Okay, the pain starting to get distracting," was followed by "Definitely bleeding now." When watching a play she declared: "Had to change my pad at intermission."
A short while later she tweeted: "Ugh. Puking. Antibiotics are making me sicker than misoprostol."
Ooh, talk dirty to me some more, Angie! You're like an awareness-raising ninja. BUT WAIT! There's more! Ms. Jackson has a YouTube channel, featuring delightful videos with titles like "Atheist Mom" and "The Problem with Religion." Naturally, she made a video reporting on the progress of her abortion as it happened.
"It's not that bad. It's not that scary." While that may seem trite, it's not often anyone talks about terminating a pregnancy with such candor. Granted, Ms. Jackson's abortion was of the non-surgical variety, so it's less impressive than if she had live-tweeted an impromptu abortion she performed on herself with a pitcher of rubbing alcohol and a ShopVac®. Still, her acute shamelessness about the whole thing is sort of refreshing. And since I had never seen or heard a first-hand account of someone who had taken RU-486, consider my awareness raised.
As you can imagine, Ms. Jackson's relatively flippant attitude toward what some consider a life and death matter resulted in a few inflammatory reactions. While a lot of Ms. Jackson's commenters have been positive, quite a few have expressed strong disagreement with her decision. Here are a few from her YouTube page (which I was able to find immediately – silly Twitter):
MrSometosser
Any chance you can post a pic of the dead fetus ? - I mean it was nothing right / no big deal.
DaBurghRocker
You fucking whore. I hope you burn in hell for killing that baby. AND YES, IT WAS STILL A BABY. and you had no right post it on the internet. FUCK YOU
TheGalileanLibrarian
Angie, you are repulsive, downright grotesque human being....I feel so sorry for your poor son to have such a selfish, disgusting, sadistic mother....
ZakkyVengence7
your sick, grow up. if you cant keep yourself from getting pregnant, then you have more issues than i thought. abortion is an excuse for not making good decisions. I hope your little boy knows everything, cause i would hate my mother with all my heart if i knew she would do something like that.
In fairness, these comments shouldn't be taken to represent the typical view of pro-lifers. They don't even represent the typical view of Ms. Jackson's commenters, most of whom support her personal choice. What they represent is what I believe is still the prevailing view of polite society – abortion is a choice to be condemned, or at least frowned upon. It's why supporters of abortion rights usually refer to themselves as "pro-choice" – they know the word "abortion" is off-putting.
In this cultural context, there will always be a significant number of unexpectant mothers who never consider abortion to be an appropriate or responsible choice. Ms. Jackson's case was mitigated by the fact she needed to have an abortion for health reasons (her pride about it is an added bonus). But there are good reasons to have an abortion that have nothing to do with medical necessity. Here are a few:
1. You're a teenager
2. You're not married
3. You didn't plan to get pregnant
I'm reminded of a coworker whose unmarried 19-year-old sister got pregnant by a gentleman with a criminal record and at least two other children with different mothers. This happened several years ago, and I remember advising my colleague it was appalling that the idea of abortion never even came up. As you can imagine, my coworker's family was religiously observant, and I'm sure she was grateful for my unsolicited opinion. A few years later, her sister was still living at home, still unemployed, still not enrolled in school, when – wait for it – she got pregnant by another gentleman. Good thing she's going to Heaven when she dies, because on earth she's going no where.
So kudos to Angie Jackson for doing her part to demystify non-surgical abortion. I hope that by bringing her story to your attention, dear readers, I've helped raise your awareness. No need to thank me – the sense of sweet self-satisfaction truly is its own reward.

To quote Archie Bunker:
"Would it make ya feel betta, little goil, if they was pushed outta windas?"
...Well, you're basically talking about killing something. I mean, we as a society eliminate people from the earth all the time, through war, poverty, disease and of course, execution. None of it is really all that complicated and it reminds me of the kid who pulls the wings off a bug without even thinking. I mean, some people can put a gun to someone's head and pull the trigger then go home and eat a nice dinner.
If you can convince yourself that anything is justified then congrats you can sleep at night. And if you convince yourself that abortion is horrible horrible hell then you're going to lose sleep. It's really that simple- which is why I believe it should be an individual choice.
But don't preach to me or laugh it off on twitter to validate your motivations. No amount of casual dismissal will make me change my personal opinions. Abortion is a personal matter. And it's legal, so, I really don't care. I am glad I wasn't aborted though, but I won't be Tebowing any public service announcements either.
Death is a fact of life people, get over it.

It's truly sad how human life can be treated with such little respect and reverence. How people like Ms. Jackson can sleep at night, I'll never know.

1- Planned parenthood should have been in this girls education since she was old enough to ask what boy's wee-wees were for.
2- Her giving her child up for adoption should have been made easier.

On a base level, what does one's religion really have to do with it? Not all Atheists believe in abortion, so she is merely taking a stance in generalization. Fortunately, I am Satanic and thus I am hated by one and all.

Actually, people call themselves pro-choice because they're not FOR abortion, they are for women having the right to make the choice for themselves.

Human life in not nearly as sacred as it's made out to be. First, it's her body, it's her decision. Second, do we really need another newborn baby in this country? Think about it logically, why create another life when there literally millions of hungry motherless children as close as your nearest orphanage. If I were pregnant, I'd abort and go get one of those children, the live air-breathing starving kind.
Posted By: Your God (Guest) on March 04, 2010 at 11:34 AM
BEFORE all the fundies get pissed off [and im no glib liberal either] keep in mind this WASNT a regular abortion.
she was pregrnant, despite using protection, and already had been told by her docter another birth would likely kill her. She already has a child, thats hadicapped, so rather than go thru with an un-wanted-un-planned birth that had a 80+ chance of leaving both kids motherless, she had the abortion. I am in full support of adoption, but incases like this where the mother is at a extreme risk, this is EXACTLY what abortion laws protect.
Suck on a dick and hope you never have to make this choice, all you people calling her a baby killer and saying 'go to hell'
lets hope.

This should have been a private moment.Thats really my only problem with it. If he life was in danger than she did the right thing. Why leave one child motherless when the second child would have killed her. She just could have handled it with a little more discretion. There are children on these sights that really dont need to be exposed to this.

If your a guy yeah, if your a girl no, Satanic chicks are great in bed so their pretty popular. I could care less what people believe in myself, whatever you have to believe in is fine by me as long as your not going around fucking my life up. If you really are so against what she did then stop visiting her you tube or internet pages. She probably wants attention anyway (i dont mean because she got an abortion but because she documented it for everyone to see and follow)

Posted By: Evan (Guest) on March 04, 2010 at 08:36 PM
What I'm pissed about is not that she aborted the baby, she had a legitimite reason that even the majority of conservatives would agree with, when the choice is between the life of the mother and the baby then the mothers life should be of paramount importance, it was how she handled it. There is no reason at all for here to do this then to get publicity and this makes her no less of an idiot and a media-whore then Octamom and Kate Gosslin
Posted By: Snakedoctor38 (Guest) on March 04, 2010 at 08:55 PM
I don't care too much what she chooses to do as long as my tax dollars are in no way involved. However, abortion clinics and adoption agencies as well as public assistance for women are all funded heavily from tax payer dollars, so it's "my tax dollars my decision." Just like even if it's your body if you can't pay rent the landlord sure as hell isn't going to "respect your choice" to live in that apartment.
This country has already been run into the ground, so I guess it doesn't matter too much what I think though. You'd think in an economic depression giving irresponsible women the chance to kill fetuses wouldn't be something the government would want to pay for. Abortion should only be available before the second trimester and only where the woman's life is in danger or in cases of rape, not as some sort of attention whoring birth control method.

Welcome to the Youtube Social Network generation. I've got nothing against these technologies, nor do I have anything against pro-lifers or pro-choicers. I DO HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST ATTENTION WHORES!
Lady, what you did was disgusting. If you want an abortion, then that's your choice and its nobody's business but your's and the father's. But what you did was just plain wrong. At least have the decency to do this in private.
Seriously. I'm sick and tired of dumb bitches waving their cervix around like its hottest fucking ticket in town!

I hate this logic. If you dislike abortion because life is sacred, then life is sacred whether the conception was consensual or forced. It is not the fault of the life how it came to be.
Don't get me wrong. I am pro-choice, but the logic of "I hate abortion except in cases of rape" is ridiculous.

And what about her decision was irresponsible? As has been stated, she used protection and was told by her doctor that the procedure would be more-less necessary to save her life.
I dont care much for the lady flapping her cunt over the interweb about it, and I certainly dont care for her dragging her athiesm into it, but IMO, its hard to blame her here.
Posted By: Guest#2689 (Guest) on March 05, 2010 at 12:34 PM
First of all, a woman's womb should be nobody's business but her own, and any medical decisions based on said womb should be made by her and her doctor.
That being said, my wife and I can't have a baby, and there are a lot of couples like us who would love to adopt, which we likely will be the path we decide to take very soon.
I can totally respect how difficult a decision this has to be for any woman (especially if her life is at stake as well), all I'm saying is before you make your decision, just please consider that there are couples like us out there who want to give your child a loving home and a chance at a good life.

There's still the matter of passing another human being through the most sensitive part of her body, an act which will likely permanently alter her for the worse. And that decision would be to give the resulting baby to strangers who for all she knows will abuse the child because it's "not really theirs". I'm not minimizing your feelings, I'm just saying from her point of view it's not an easy or appealing choice.

Abortions have been falling in numbers since the early 1990s while the population of course has grown. These pro-choice radicals are just desperate to get 1 more abortion a year. IF anything birth control is the bigger enemy than abortions to the pro-life.

Gotta love all these people rushing to condemn and pass judgement on someone they don't know, have never met and never will meet.

Maybe if you didn't waste all your time posting pointless comments on a wrestling website under the lamer-than-lame name "AG Awesome", you could have got better qualifications, worked harder, and actually got a decent job with decent money, rather than mopping the floor at Wendy's every night. Although you did meet your girlfriend there (you'll never forget that magical moment where your eyes met over a double stack burger right?) so I guess it all worked out for you in the end.
Also, I cringe when I see comments like "Im glad my hard work goes to helping them raise their families", as if your taxes alone personally paid for this bitch's abortion. Your taxes are neglible and the majority of all taxation is pumped into the defense budget. Basically, your life is meaningless and it's time to accept it.

"It's murder.
Posted By: Disgusting"
You're absolutely right, Disgusting. Denying this woman an abortion would have amounted to state-sponsored murder. We would have been telling her that her life is not as important as the life of her undeveloped fetus, and that we would prefer her existing son to grow up an orphan rather than allow her a medical procedure that could save her life.
Look, I'm not overly comfortable with the idea of abortion in 99.9% of cases. That's not to say I outright condemn it - I'm not nearly so egotistical as to believe I'm capable of determining the morality of such a complex issue. However, this is a situation that came down to whether to save one life or another.
If your house is burning down should you be condemned as a murderer for trying to get out safely rather than risking your own life by running back in to attempt to save somebody trapped inside who may or may not already be dead?

ok u know i have a little bone to pick while we're talking about this.
I have always been pro choice for a lot of different reasons, that i'm not going to get into right now.
But one thing that has bothered me is the amount of brainwashing tv shows and movies that deal with pregnancies. They NEVER contemplate abortion, let alone go through with it. Here is an example. My girl watches secret life of the american teenager. Idk if you're familiar with the show, but this 16yr old high school chick gets pregnant. Obviously no one talks about abortion. They wanna give the kid up for adoption, then she changes her mind and everyone is there to support her. One of the other characters on the show is a kid with down's syndrome. again, i have NO issues with people who were unfortunate enough to be born with that. BUT that's a little subtle sign of "don't abort any babies, everyone should live" If this show is meant to educate young teens about pregnancies, why wasn't abortion at LEAST discussed?
Too much brainwashing bullshit. It's a woman's choice. And our media will never portray it as that.
Hell look at juno, mainstream movie. Actress gets nominated for an oscar, but again no talk about abortion.
Me personally, i have 2 options. Have the kid, or get an abortion. I couldn't give my child up for adoption. I could live with knowing that i made a decision to abort him/her. But i couldn't live knowing that MY child is somewhere else
Posted By: pro choice (Guest) on March 06, 2010 at 10:18 PM
@pro choice:
When Zach Braff's character on Scrubs got a girl pregnant the contemplated abortion right away. And while discussing it another character admits to having had an abortion in the past and says it was the right decision to make at the time. I know I've seen other examples, but this one's still fresh in my head since I watched it last week.
Posted By: Cortez (Guest) on March 06, 2010 at 11:52 PM

Pretty simple really.
The jokester quoted my comment about my taxes supporting families on welfare. Keyword being FAMILIES. Then he gave his lame two cents by saying something about how my tax money funded the ABORTION.
The contradiction is: In my original quote Im not complaining about paying for ABORTIONS. Im complaining about supporting welfare FAMILIES. The jokster missed the whole point of the post, then made his lame attempt at insulting me look bad by blatantly misquoting me... LOL.

It's truly sad how human life can be treated with such little respect and reverence. How people like Ms. Jackson can sleep at night, I'll never know.

They sleep on their stomachs, because they aren't pregnant anymore.

First of all, I'm pro-choice, but this lady meakes me want to take a trip up to Tampa, and do something about this...but I won't.
I've got a question.
If this lady was warned by her doctors not to have anymore kids, why wouldn't she just solve the problem and have a hysterectomy instead of running the risk of getting pregnant again?

I have no problem with her getting an abortion. That's her choice. But twittering about it? It seems rather... tacky. This is a private affair, and should be kept private.

If that's not a scripted video... Why is she reading a script? Just saying.

Uh, because a hysterectomy is a major procedure that has life altering effects and should only be performed when absolutely necessary? This woman supposedly was told she wouldn't get pregnant again, so she already thought she was covered. Would you cut your cock off if you didn't have to?

That's right ladies, don't let your abortion goto waist! Twitter and UTube it now, and don't forget to plug your book when CNN picks up the story. ;)

America's attitude to children is fucked up. Abortion is condemned because it's "killing (a) baby. AND YES, IT WAS STILL A BABY" and yet with capital punishment the state murders people in cold blood. But they're mature, conscionable adults you might say. Fair enough.
But children are also tried as adults for crimes and sometimes given life sentences. If they’re over 15 they can be executed. That's trying to have it both ways. On one hand you want to treat them as innocents not capable of making mature decisions when it comes to smoking, drinking and sex with the various age limit laws (21 before you can have a pint? Fuck right off!) but treat them as adults otherwise. If the Jamie Bulger murder had happened in America the two 10 year olds who killed him would have been tried the same as BTK.
I can’t get my head around it. Can someone explain how it’s murder when it’s an abortion but not when it’s capital punishment and yet if you’re over 15 you’re considered mature enough to be tried and executed as an adult but not old enough to have a beer?! I don’t get it.

I am with you, although my very conservative, religious friends and family here in the deep southeast US assure me that it all makes sense. God says so, if you look closely enough into your bible...

The drinking age I'll give you, but on your other point. An abortion is the murder of the innocent while capital punishment is the murder of the guilty. And yes, before you give the inevitable response, I know mistakes are made. However, if you exhaust all your appeals and the ruling holds, you're fucking guilty.
It's not having it both ways, pro-lifers don't want the innocent killed in any way while pro-abortion people (and don't give me that cop-out "pro choice" bullshit, you're fucking for it or against it) don't mind killing the innocent.
Posted By: Jason S. (Guest) on March 08, 2010 at 08:57 PM
Innocent and guilty are fairly abstract terms. I mean try defining guilty; Iran also executes guilty minors. Guilty of things like being gay or converting from Islam but would you agree with that?
OJ Simpson is 'innocent' of killing his ex-wife and her lover but as you say mistakes are made.
Never the less between 15-21 we're still talking about killing a child. Whatever they've done how can anyone endorse murdering a minor while still being against abortion? Under 21 they're still children not even allowed to drink but you'd put them to death?

Actually, people call themselves pro-choice because they're not FOR abortion, they are for women having the right to make the choice for themselves.

How many females that are Pro Choice have you seen opt to have the baby?
Posted By: Guest#6659 (Guest) on March 08, 2010 at 11:30 PM
"How many females that are Pro Choice have you seen opt to have the baby?"
Uh, hundred of thousands daily? The reason the abortion rate has went down in recent years is because of planned parenthood, proliferation of safe sex knowledge and generally everything that most conservatives feel is a bad idea.
Education is the reason abortions have went down. Not because people are suddenly realizing that it's "evil" to abort an unborn fetus.
Most people who are pro-choice if faced with that desgin face the tough CHOICE, but rarely if ever go for the abortion.
Most abortions are from people who don't have an opinion one way or the other. Uneducated mothers, more often than not.
Interestingly, there have been studies that lots of people who claim to be pro-life suddenly become pro-choice when faced with the consequences themselves. Or just become total hypocrits and have an abortion, then still condemn others for it.
In the state of Texas there are tons of pro-life republicans, who have had multiple abortions. It's absurd.

I've never understood this argument. The difference is a child is innocent. I'm neither for or against abortion. That's something that a woman and her partner have to decide, but when you execute a condemned person for murder, you're executing a person who willingly made a choice to take another's life. I don't give a good goddamn how old they were. I think we ought to execute 10 year olds, on TV, if they consciously made the decision to kill another human being, and it wasn't in defense of themselves or someone else. If you think kids today aren't aware of what they're doing, you're both naive and delusional. No, they may not be mature enough to think through all the ramifications of their actions, but that's just too damn bad, ain't it? You make your choice, you live (or die) with the consequences. This mollycoddling and excuse-making for fucking thugs and pieces of shit is nauseating, and we're a weaker species for it. Mercy for the guilty is treason to the innocent. Our world would be a much better place if every prison in the U.S. were surrounded by an airtight plastic dome and flooded with Sarin gas. This whole "he was just a kid" hand-wringing horseshit is a strawman argument, and anyone making it is fucking stupid.

"I don't care too much what she chooses to do as long as my tax dollars are in no way involved. However, abortion clinics and adoption agencies as well as public assistance for women are all funded heavily from tax payer dollars, so it's "my tax dollars my decision." Just like even if it's your body if you can't pay rent the landlord sure as hell isn't going to "respect your choice" to live in that apartment.

And my tax dollars have gone to support wars I don't personally support, create weapons I never asked to be made, and bribe tribal warlords/prop up state-sponsored dictators I despise. It's a two-way street there, bud. If we all got to pick where our tax money went, this country would fall apart because the Department of Puppies and Ice Cream and Hot Naked Chicks would be the only one receiving tax dollars.

Probably because you have the reasoning skills of Joseph Stalin.

Maybe if you didn't waste all your time posting pointless comments on a wrestling website under the lamer-than-lame name "AG Awesome", you could have got better qualifications, worked harder, and actually got a decent job with decent money, rather than mopping the floor at Wendy's every night. Although you did meet your girlfriend there (you'll never forget that magical moment where your eyes met over a double stack burger right?) so I guess it all worked out for you in the end.
Also, I cringe when I see comments like "Im glad my hard work goes to helping them raise their families", as if your taxes alone personally paid for this bitch's abortion. Your taxes are neglible and the majority of all taxation is pumped into the defense budget. Basically, your life is meaningless and it's time to accept it.
Posted By: Guest#5246 (Guest) on March 06, 2010 at 11:04 AM
Dude, you do understand that we have a graduated percentage tax system right? That means the more you make the more the government takes from you in taxes, unless you're a corporation in which case you write everything off and lie and cheat and don't pay taxes. But if you're an employee, you get fucked harder the more you make.
If you can't be a corp, you can at least be an IC, which is a class ahead of employees too. But you still make the dumbest possible argument and logical fallacy by telling somebody to make more money when they complain about their taxes going to something, if you make LESS, hell if you make NOTHING then none of it goes.
