In his pro-life book<\/a>, Jordan Lynn Warfel shared the story of a woman named Ann who took the abortion pill, and like many other women, had a traumatic<\/a> experience.<\/p>\n

Ann was at her ex-boyfriend\u2019s apartment when she took one of the two drugs used in the abortion pill regimen. This was apparently the second drug, misoprostol, meant to cause her to expel her baby.\u00a0Ten minutes after taking it, she says, she felt \u201cintense cramps.\u201d Soon the cramps became \u201cunbearable,\u201d and she went into the bathroom. Ann explained:<\/p>\n

I locked the door and experienced the most severe pain I had ever felt in my life. I sat on the toilet and bent over in pain. I wanted to scream but my ex-boyfriend and his friends were right outside the door in the living room watching TV. It was a small apartment.<\/em><\/p>\n

I grabbed a towel to bite on in order to keep from screaming and was nearly passing out.<\/em><\/p>\n

She experienced further trauma when she looked down. \u201cAs I got up, I saw blood everywhere,” she said. “I saw parts of my baby, images I will never be able to erase.”<\/p>\n

The pain continued, but Ann felt the need to hide the blood and remains of her baby from her ex-boyfriend and his friends:<\/p>\n

I fell to my knees in pain and was blacking out. Concerned that the guys would see all the blood and clumps, I got on my knees and cleaned it up. As soon as I left the bathroom I was about to faint when my ex-boyfriend helped me to bed.<\/em><\/p>\n

The abortion pill has a high rate of incomplete abortions, and Ann soon learned that this was the case for her. She had to undergo a D&C, or dilation and curettage to complete the abortion.<\/p>\n
