An American woman has sparked a storm by making a YouTube video and live tweeting the details of her abortion, after taking the RU-486 drug while four weeks pregnant.
In the video, Angie Jackson shocked many when she said, "I am having an abortion-right now," according to ABC Action News. In the next three minutes, Jackson, detailed her reaction to the abortion drug.
On YouTube she said, "It's not that bad, it's not that scary, it's basically like a miscarriage. I am live tweeting my abortion on Twitter, not for a publicity stunt or attention or to justify it for myself. I am at peace with my decision".
Jackson said she chose abortion because of life threatening complications in her first pregnancy, and to protect the child she does have, a four-year-old boy with special needs.
Her public video has earned her "numerous death threats", news reports said.
"People have made violent threats toward my son. I want people to know that I am reporting every threat to the FBI," Jackson says.
Monsignor Desmond Daly, of Christ the King Church, who viewed the video the first time with ABC Action News, questioned her motives.
"The way she presented this whole thing is tawdry in the least. I am angry, not just because I am a pastor or because I am a man, but because I am a human being. I look at her and she is smiling throughout the whole thing and she is kind of flaunting her situation and taunting at the same time eliciting a response from us who believe that abortion is a dreadful thing," Daly said.
