Rachel panicked when she found out she was pregnant. She was using illegal drugs and feared the drug abuse would cause her baby to be born with complications or severe deformities. Rachel believed that having an abortion was her only option. She talked with a few of her co-workers about her pregnancy decision. They were Christian women who encouraged her to value the new life growing inside of her.<\/p>\n

When Rachel told her boyfriend Nick about the pregnancy, he was in support of her keeping their child. Nick begged Rachel to not abort their baby, but she was still convinced it was the best choice. She ignored her boyfriend\u2019s wishes and scheduled an appointment at an abortion center\u00a0for the very next day.<\/p>\n

Rachel was 17\u00a0weeks along in her pregnancy and the abortionist told her she\u00a0would\u00a0need a two-day procedure. The first day of her procedure, the abortionist inserted sterilized seaweed\u00a0called laminaria that allows the cervix to be dilated. In the video below, former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino describes what happens once laminaria has been inserted in the most prevalent second trimester abortion procedure.<\/p>\n
