Woman Regrets Taking Abortion Pill: “I Saw My Helpless Little Baby” in My Hands

More women are coming forward with stories about the unexpected horror of seeing their aborted baby’s body after being lied to by the abortion industry.

Christina was given the impression that her unborn baby was not really a baby yet when Planned Parenthood sold her abortion pills, she explained in the new Live Action video series “I Saw My Baby.”

The young woman, already the mother of a young son, said she was nine weeks pregnant at the time. The Planned Parenthood staff told her that abortion pills were “easy” — like a “heavy period.” They told her she wouldn’t “see anything” either.

“They didn’t ever use the word baby,” Christina said. “They always just said ‘it’ or ’tissue’ or ‘the process.’ … They did tell me it would be too small to see anything.”

Much to her horror, Christina quickly learned that these were all lies.

She took the first abortion pill, mifepristone, which is used to abort unborn babies up to about 10 weeks of pregnancy – although some abortionists use it later. It works by blocking the hormone progesterone and basically starving the unborn baby to death.

About a day later, she took the second pill, misoprostol, which induces labor. After two painful hours, Christina said she gave birth to her baby’s tiny body on the toilet.

“It felt like hell,” she said. “It was worse than labor with my son.”

Christina told Live Action: “When I turned around, there it was in the sac and everything. I broke open the sac and held the helpless little baby in my hand. I cried and felt like I had just murdered someone so innocent. I regretted it 100 percent after that night.”

Now, Christina said she has nightmares all the time and struggles with the shame and horror of what she did. She often wonders what life would be like if she hadn’t taken the abortion pills.

“I wish more people could know what a baby really looks like at nine weeks, only nine weeks,” she told Live Action.

Christina’s story is just one of many from traumatized women who realized too late that their unborn babies were valuable human beings even early in pregnancy. By nine weeks, an unborn baby already has fingers and toes, a heart, brain, eyes and a nose.

Recently, OB-GYNs have reported an alarming rise in women calling them upset after taking abortion pills and then delivering their aborted baby’s body in the toilet. Even the website of the European pro-abortion group Aid Access, which sells abortion pills world-wide, admits that women sometimes see their aborted baby’s body and it can be “distressing.”

Right now, a group of doctors with the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine are challenging the FDA’s approval of mifepristone as an abortion drug, saying the federal agency put lives at risk by failing to properly study its safety under Democratic presidential administrations.

As emergency room physicians and OB-GYNs, the doctors said they have witnessed “the enormous pressure and stress caused by emergency treatment from chemical abortion [abortion drugs] gone wrong.”

Currently, the abortion drug is used for almost half of all abortions in the U.S., killing approximately 400,000 unborn babies every year, according to the Guttmacher Institute.

The FDA has linked mifepristone to 28 women’s deaths between 2000 and 2018. At least two more women have died since then, although the number likely is much higher.

Studies indicate abortion risks are more common than what abortion activists often claim, with about one in 17 women requiring hospital treatment.
