In March 2014, this video<\/a> was announced as one of the two winners of the Abortion Care Network\u2019s Abortion Stigma Busting video competition. The other winner was the infamous Emily\u2019s Abortion Video. Although this video has not gone viral like Emily\u2019s video, it is certainly as tragic. The video\u2019s goal is to make abortion seem as normal and frequent as possible. It takes four different women with different backgrounds and shares little pieces of their lives in the form of a timeline. The timelines include random and strange things, such as \u201cgot a restraining order,\u201d which are followed by \u201chad an abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/center>The video is especially disturbing because one woman is seen with her baby \u2013 directly after \u201cgot great job\u201d pops up, \u201cgave birth to daughter\u201d comes along while \u201cgot an abortion\u201d appears on the mother\u2019s timeline. This is a sick reality, where the mother had an abortion after college before having a job \u2013 in which that cute baby girl\u2019s older brother or sister wasn’t able to live. Maybe the only reason her little daughter was left to live was because the mother had money! Is this really something to be advocated and looked upon as good, wholesome, and normal?<\/p>\n

The oldest woman in the video seems very pro-women’s rights and is probably a feminist. Her timeline includes her mother giving her a “women’s health” pamphlet. Her mother\u2019s actions may well have started her journey towards abortion. If her mother had given her a pamphlet about the beauty of adoption, perhaps she would have kept that \u201cunwanted pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video\u2019s message is that abortion is normal and no big deal. But the video shows only grown women with their lives all worked out. We don\u2019t see the teenage girl crying because she is petrified of her pregnancy. They don\u2019t show the struggling college girl in the abortion facility, asking herself how much more pain she has to endure. We don\u2019t see the young woman right out of the abortion facility, shocked at the reality of what she has just done. We see smiling women who show their content faces, only years after their abortion experience. However, we don\u2019t see these women at home, terrified of the dreams they’ve had of their abortions. We don\u2019t see them sad, thinking about what would have happened if they had kept their babies and where they would be.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s really easy to show a nice bright fa\u00e7ade when it comes to abortion. It\u2019s not so easy to come to terms with the pain and horror.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
