Christina held her ‘helpless little baby’ in her hand after taking the abortion pill
Christina was already a mother to one born son when she learned she was pregnant. She visited Planned Parenthood, where she was given the abortion pill and was told it was going to be an “easy” process. The staff said she “wouldn’t see anything” — meaning her baby’s body. But she soon learned these were lies.
“They didn’t ever use the word baby,” she explained. “They always just said ‘it’ or ’tissue’ or ‘the process.’ They never said anything about the level of development. They did tell me it would be too small to see anything.”
However, she explained, “The pill was not at all what Planned Parenthood told me it would be.”
Planned Parenthood staff had told Christina that taking the abortion pill would feel like having a “heavy period.” But instead of the usual symptoms of a period, she said she felt horrible pain.
“It felt like hell,” she explained. “It was worse than labor with my son.”

Christina explained that she gave birth to her dead baby on the toilet within two hours of taking the second set of pills — misoprostol, a drug that causes contractions that expel the baby. The first drug of the abortion pill regimen (mifepristone) blocks the naturally occurring pregnancy hormone progesterone. This deprives the growing child of nutrients, with the intent to kill him.
“When I turned around, there it was in the sac and everything.” said Christina. “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% after that night.”
Christina made it clear, “Nothing can truly prepare you for an abortion, no matter what route you take.” And she warns that she is still struggling with having had an abortion and has nightmares about it all the time. She often wonders — what if she hadn’t had the abortion? She would have two children to love now.
She added, “I wish more people could know what a baby really looks like at 9 weeks, only 9 weeks.” But fetal development is something the abortion industry wants to be hidden from women so that they are unaware of exactly what the abortion they are buying is doing — killing their baby.
