A TikTok user infamous for pro-abortion content is now partnering with Amelia Bonow and the “Shout Your Abortion” movement.<\/p>\n

A 21-year-old woman who goes by the username “AbortionQweenn” has racked up millions of views by posting videos of herself at doctor’s offices, pretending<\/em> to get abortions. She, along with her live-in girlfriend, “AbortionCounselor,” both work in the abortion industry and regularly post fake abortion videos, openly designed to offend people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just started posting videos of me at random doctor\u2019s appointments and saying \u2018I\u2019m getting an abortion,\u2019\u201d she said in an interview with the Daily Beast<\/a>. \u201cI was at urgent care.\u201d For her, it was more than just a way to push a pro-abortion agenda \u2014 it was a way to get instant hits.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a lot of my followers know that I\u2019m not getting like 50 abortions a month,\u201d she said. \u201cBut people will just see that and I guess like normalize it. People will also get very angry about it. But it always goes viral.\u201d\u00a0The videos posted by the two women were deemed “playful” by the Daily Beast \u2014 with jokes about fast food after abortion, dancing in doctor’s offices, and sneering about a preborn baby dancing in the womb before being aborted.<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast noted, “The pair have garnered a combined 165,000 followers and more than 20 million views, despite having their accounts blocked repeatedly by TikTok moderators. (TikTok says it does not have a policy prohibiting discussion of abortion. After The Daily Beast reached out, the women\u2019s previously blocked accounts were restored.)”<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Beast, “Many of their videos contain medical advice about the abortion procedure or information on how to get one. Others are meant to be irreverently humorous: One of @abortioncounselor\u2019s first videos shows her dancing… under the text ‘my fetus dancing right before it was aborted.’ Another features a drive-thru and the words ‘in-n-out after an abortion hits different.'” Both young women reportedly had abortions within the past six years.<\/p>\n

The irreverent and tasteless viral videos quickly got noticed by Bonow, who hired “AbortionCounselor” to be the artist-in-residence for Shout Your Abortion.\u00a0\u201cThe idea that abortion is always a serious and sad thing is antiquated, not reflective of reality, and it definitely hasn\u2019t done our side any favors,\u201d Bonow told the Daily Beast, claiming that abortion on TikTok \u201cis a nail in the coffin of the old way of doing things. We can talk about abortion however we want, it doesn’t always have to be heavy. Sometimes it\u2019s hilarious.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abortion can only be “hilarious” to those who ignore what it actually is and what it does.<\/p>\n
