The Daily Mail had an article on abortion that gives the views of women who have gone through the process. Most of the women had regrets but three of them had no regrets. One of those three women who had no regrets detailed the process of a "chemical" abortion at 15 weeks pregnant.
It is alarming to think that RU-486 is given to women so late in a pregnancy. Even at 15 weeks this is a very dangerous move for the woman. However, what we have from the graphic description of what took place:
This would have to be one of the most callous ways of "getting rid of it" that I have ever seen in print. The midwife alone seems to be someone who lacks compassion or sympathy for the little lives that are being destroyed.By the time I had the abortion, I was 15 weeks and two days pregnant. I went into hospital with my best friend for moral support, and the nurse gave me tablets to bring on labour. Because I was so far into the pregnancy, I had to give birth rather than have a straightforward abortion.
It was horrendous. After two hours the contractions started, and I clung onto the hand of the midwife. Once I felt the baby starting to come, I had to go into the toilet and let it drop onto a stainless steel tray.
"Don't look," said the midwife. "Keep your eyes straight in front of you and walk away immediately." There was no way I could have looked down and seen my baby. I was numb.
