WATCH: This is the heartbreaking aftermath of the abortion pill

New short videos from Live Action depict the heartbreaking aftermath of the abortion pill regimen that countless women have been through, despite claims that taking the drugs is easy.

Key Takeaways:

  • In the series of short, dramatized videos, a woman calls her boyfriend sobbing, saying that she passed the body of her baby into the toilet.

  • She cries that she didn't know this was what having a chemical abortion would be like.

  • While the short videos are fictional, they depict the real-life experiences of countless women.

The Details:

In new short dramatized videos from Live Action, a woman is seen calling her boyfriend in tears and pain, telling him that she took the abortion pill and there is a baby in the toilet.

"There is a baby in the toilet. There's a baby in the toilet, Sam," she cries. She tells him she took both of the drugs of the abortion pill regimen — mifepristone and misoprostol — and states, "But the website didn't say it was going to be like this. It didn't say it was gonna be like this. It said, it said it was just gonna be some tissue, not, not this. There's a baby, a whole baby in the toilet, Sam! I can see its arms and its head.

Never miss the latest news in the fight for life.

She sobs, "Sam, what did we do!? Why did we do that?"

In the second video, Sam arrives at his girlfriend Aileen's home. She tells him the baby is in the toilet as he remarks about how much she is bleeding. As he looks to see the baby, he calls 911. Aileen has passed out.

Reality Check:

The videos are hard to watch, but they depict the truth of what so many women experience when taking the abortion pill. They are led to believe that taking these drugs will be like having a heavy period, but the reality is much different.

Desiree Merced shared her experience with the abortion pill, saying:

"I literally delivered a baby. I delivered this baby. It was like, the baby was ... laying fetal position, and I saw the little tiny limbs, little arm, like... little everything. There was a tiny umbilical cord.... [T]he baby's heart was still beating. Oh, that killed me. That was a lot. I screamed."

She apologized to the baby repeatedly. She bled uncontrollably for months, felt weak, and had stabbing pain in her back.

Staff at Planned Parenthood, where she got the abortion pill, told her it was normal, but after a friend brought her to the hospital, she learned she was in toxic shock and needed emergency surgery. The abortion was incomplete, a known risk of the abortion pill, and doctors had to remove remaining pregnancy tissue that was "rotting."

Joy Singh believed abortion was her only option when she became pregnant, and she took the abortion pill. "The second pill [misoprostol] initiated the worst pain I’ve ever felt. When my baby came out into the toilet, I picked it up and held it in my hands for some time, crying over the loss," she said.

The Bottom Line:

Live Action's I Saw My Baby website shares the story of countless other women who have suffered the trauma of taking the abortion pill.
