Young Woman Films Her Abortion

A 25-year-old woman has shared a video of herself (shot from the waist up) having an abortion in order to prove to others that terminating her pregnancy "wasn’t scary."

Emily Letts knew she wasn't ready to have children, so she decided to go public with her abortion, hoping to put a positive spin on an experience that is seldom portrayed as such. 

"I don’t feel like a bad person, I don’t feel sad," said Letts, a month after the procedure. "I feel in awe of the fact I can make a life. I knew that what I was going to do was right because it was right for me and no one else. I just want to share my story."

The video garnered many views, and her story appeared in Cosmopolitan magazine, according to an article in Metro.

Choosing to end her pregnancy was clearly a matter of personal choice for Letts. But is there such a thing as a positive abortion story?
