Why I got an "Abortion"

This is the story of how I found out I had 1, then 2 fast-growing lumps in my uterus-- and why getting them removed would be considered an "abortion" even though I was never pregnant. My experience just scrapes the tip of the iceberg of this very nuanced issue; so many more people have it worse, and I am very very lucky to in a place where I'm able to get a D&C. Our current lawmakers are barring people from accessing the healthcare they need, risking lives over things they don't care to understand, and it makes me sick.

This is the mindset that made be start to accepting abortion. I was very much against the concept, I am against all forms of killing in general, and I just saw abortion as taking a kid you don't want and killing it. Even now, I don't really see it as "ethical" (conceptually), but I fully accept it as a practice. It is only there to keep people safe, and having the option will ALWAYS be better than not having it. But it was not easy forme to see that before. The part of the video about the guys protesting outside the PP really made me reflect on the mindset I used to have in the past

It does make me pay more attention to the language of the law. "Abortion" doesn't seem to mean in legal terms what it means in spoken language terms. But I find it unproductive to tell someone who is against abortion that its just removing a clump of cells and saying a normal healthy fetus is also just a clump of cells. The way Pro-choice people debate feeds into Pro-life ignorance and then further conflates that ignorance as malice. Which is willful ignorance. Most Pro-life people only care if abortion kills a developing human and if informed would vote for better laws with clearer language.

I suppose that shouldn't be too difficult to do. Abortion = killing the baby. If removal results in death, it would be an abortion. If removal only results in the removal of an already dead baby, then it would not be abortion. Seems like the sort of thing that can be fixed fairly quickly. A lawsuit or two will likely fix it in due time. Law is often stupid, but stupid for "good" reasons. This law is stupid for no reason.

Wow... I'm glad you're ok. I'm confident Ohio still would have given you the care you needed though. What you had should count as a high-risk pregnancy in which case Ohio allows abortion in those cases even with Ohio's heartbeat bill in effect. You should have gotten the care you needed regardless, but the trouble seems to be I've heard stories of doctors delaying treatment because they didn't fully understand the legal specifics of Roe v Wade being overturned. Hopefully doctors not understanding the law is very rare now that it's been over a year since Roe v Wade was overturned. Considering Texas and Alabama also allow abortion in cases where the mother is at serious risk like with ectopic tubal pregnancies, I think we can all agree that the proper handling of a miscarriage, particularly in your case, is essential healthcare and that it's fair in legal terms to have the option to get an abortion if the doctor confirms a pregnancy is high risk (though it's also a heroic act to carry a high risk pregnancy to term if the baby can be saved if the mother wants to). Side note: I've done a fair amount of research since I first saw this video about 4 days after it was posted. I have yet to see abortion defined as anything other than the termination of a pregnancy, I don't know where Illy got her definition from (11:33) let alone if it's true, because that would make treating uterine cancer illegal...

That's so awful. I cannot IMAGINE harassing a teenager at an abortion clinic. Obviously something has gone really wrong for her to be there. Isn't that enough?? Firstly, as Illy pointed out, many people go to "abortion clinics" for reasons other than abortion. Secondly, I'm pretty sure that it's a VERY TINY MINORITY of people who get an abortion flippantly. There are SO many people who feel forced into it, due to dangers to their own health or the health of the fetus, or knowing perfectly well that they are unable to care for the baby if they gave birth. And people who are like "just put it up for adoption!!" INFURIATE me. It's so fucking ignorant. Healthcare in the US is extremely expensive, including childbirth - lots of people can't afford the medical bills even if they aren't keeping the baby. Pregnancy is also EXTREMELY hard on the mother's body, sometimes with lifelong consequences, which again means medical bills that they might not be able to afford. And more than anything, the foster care system in the US is absolute trash, there are so many thousands of children who can't find homes (I keep hearing stories about foster kids having to sleep in offices and in CARS because the system is so overwhelmed and there's nowhere else to go). Many more foster kids are tremendously abused - statistically way more often than other children - and statistically adult foster children are much more likely to end up homeless or in prison. It's fucking awful. Why would you think that's somehow better for the child OR the parents?? I feel like so many pro-life people believe that people get abortions and "end a life" on a whim, and it's simply not true... for the vast, vast majority of cases, abortion is an absolutely crushing decision, one that the person lives with for the rest of their life, but they feel they have no choice. In some cases, they really do have no choice. And some people will be like "then just don't have sex!!!!!" Like abstinence-only education EVER works... we're human. Everyone makes mistakes. We shouldn't have to suffer lifelong consequences for making a mistake. Especially young people. And it's especially awful to inflict lifelong suffering on the potential child because their parent(s) made a mistake. I just don't understand.

This needs to be repeated until it finally sinks in. An "abortion" can include a miscarriage, it can include an embryo that has implanted outside of the uterus, it can include a fetus that has died and still remains in the womb, and it can include growths such as this one. Anyone who tells you "That's not an abortion" is either lying to you, or doesn't know the medical terminology they are talking about. To those who think that the fact that the growth in this case turned out to be cancerous and not an embryo means it wasn't an abortion, remember that the doctor couldn't really tell that until it was removed and biopsied. It wasn't likely to be the case, since the author was very careful about using birth control, but it ot was still possible that it was a pregnancy gone wrong. The doctors would also have to provide proof that the tissue removed was not a fetus if the state chose to prosecute - which recent events suggest that they would. This is entirely due to lawmakers using the blanket term "abortion" which is a medical term, and not widely understood by non-doctors. If the lawmakers wanted to clarify the meaning of "abortion", calling it an "elective abortion" perhaps, or "termination of a viable pregnancy' that would be a stsrt. But I speculate that pro-embryo activists don't want to use that language, because they don't WANT a mother to be able to terminate a non-viable pregnancy, or an ectopic pregnancy or one that threatens the mother's life. They WANT her to die. That wasn't pity she was seeing in those protesters. It was fanatics wanting to stone her for being a sinner.

My sister had an abortion. The baby had no brain, the medulla was just flapping in fluid inside it's head. There was the tiniest, slimmest of chances that the baby would survive if born, but it would have been a vegetable hooked up to machines, would have been unable to grow, or do anything. Not to mention, the birthing process would have been incredibly difficult on my sister's body, due to the position the baby had grown in. There was a high chance she could have permanent damage, or even die, just to birth a baby that had a 99.99% chance of being still-born. So, she had an abortion. What kills me is that, because of the state I'm in, if she had been born just 25 years later, and had lived the same life, and had gotten the exact same pregnancy...she would have been denied that procedure. Just because of the state she lived in. Something a lot of "pro-life" people don't seem to understand is that this can be a lifesaving procedure, in so, so many ways. So, what they do, is they take away that choice, because of their own ignorance and refusal to even think about the possible consequences of their actions. I genuinely hope things turn around, and start getting better.

We are silent the whole time, we stand their quietly, for 8 hours, without uttering a single word. There have been multiple times where nurses have come out and told us to "go back to Taliban", times where patients would see us, and call us terrorists and bombers. One protester, a guy who escaped the Darfur genocide in Sudan, was seen by a 28 year old patient. She walked right up to him and punched him. She is in jail for assault. Police have ruled on our favor multiple times because we werent yelling anything, not screaming in peoples ears, just standing silently with signs. We have only done this for three years, but two in the St.Paul area have moved because of us, just because of some immigrants fasting holding signs outside. Its crazy.

While abortion is a last-resort thing for me, I would NEVER tell anyone what they could or could not do with their bodies. Especially since Planned Parenthood saved my mom's life when they found that she had cervical cancer. PP offers so many wonderful health services as well as affordable contraception, and I would love to see more clinics set up around the country.

This one though… it must have been tough to talk about not only that but I can only imagine how it felt… I’m sorry that law makers are doing all this stuff and making it harder on not just you but all females who need to get that procedure to save their lives. I’m huge on pro choice and I just wanna say that despite everything that has happened… I’m glad that you chose what you thought was best and I just hope that later on, law makers figure out that what they think is an abotion isn’t always the case, and that people put in your situation sometimes need to get the procedure to continue to live a nice and enjoyable life!

​@@HiImPaul62no one likes abortions and gets them for fun but sometimes they're necessary. If you really care about children you should care more about good sex education and contraceptives because they help against unwanted pregnancies and fight for better financial support for low income families. Some people cannot afford to have a child for whatever reason and even if they don't want to keep it in the end it still takes a toll on the body for nine months. Yes a fetus is technically alive but it couldn't sustain itself outside the mother's body and just like I couldn't force you to donate blood even if people are dying of blood loss you can't force someone to give up the right to decide what happens to their body. Abortions aren't nice or fun but unfortunately they're necessary, I hope you understand that

You have to be a special type of person to become and OBGYN after dedicating nearly a decade of school and then rotations, just to choose something that doesn’t maximize the money you make.

Many of these abortion laws also want to arrest any doctors that provide abortions, so if the doctor that provided an abortion gets arrested, they won't be able to perform anything that isnt an abortion (which Illy briefly talked about in this video). Also, while this might not be terminating a pregnancy, the same procedure is used, which would make it fall under an abortion.

Wowie so much to say about this video. First off I want to thank you for being brave enough to come through with this story to educate people on this subject through your experience. Even though I am AMAB I can at least sympathize with the trauma that going through this frightening situation amidst the turbulent political climate around this issue. Also, and anyone who hates me for saying this can go fuck themselves, even if this had somehow been a fertilized egg cell I personally would support whatever your decision was as it's best for you and you seem like you would have made at least an educated decision based on the matter. I'm also super glad that the protestors were non violent when you went for your appointment. It's situations like this that cause me to be undecided if I'm "Pro Life" or "Pro Choice." With how complicated of an organ as the uterus can be I'm not confident if this is a failure due to language, medical education, legalese or all three but I do agree that it's something the law really shouldn't have any say in. The term "abortion" is really to broad of a term. While I will never support a woman who through her own decisions got pregnant decided to not carry the baby through to term even when she was medically capable of doing so especially after a heartbeat has already developed in the unborn life. I can accept that is not the only reason a woman would get an "abortion." Regardless of the circumstances of having the abortion I don't believe anyone outside of the sperm donor, the woman, and her doctor should have any say as to whether or not someone has access to a potentially life saving operation. This is such a messy legal situation and, unfortunately, I feel things will get worse before they get any better. You sharing this story I feel is definitely a step in the right direction and I again want to thank you for doing so. I hope you're not receiving too bad of community backlash about this. Wishing you the best, stay healthy, educated, and strong!

I was so scared when my miscarriage started that i didnt go to the hospital. I stayed home and gave birth to my tiny 2 inch baby boy that definitely didnt develop correctly (his legs were together from his knees to his feet). I was alone and was in horrible pain. I barried him in a small box. I bleed for maybe 2 straight weeks. I thought i was going to die. Luckily, i went back home to kentucky a few months later and got checked out by my OBGYN and i had a complete miscarriage (meaning no tissue was left inside to rot and kill me). Most women are not as lucky, my body was able to expell all of my baby's tissue. I didnt need a D&C.

When I was 12, i had an 11 year old classmate who was r**** by a family member of hers, and had a regnancy as a result. She had been too afraid to tell anyone, and by the time she did, the timeperiod in which someone is allowed to have an abortion was almost over. The thing was, her body was not ready for a pregnancy, she had been getting sicker and sicker as time passed, and was probably close to dying by the time she finally confessed. She was lucky that this happened 8 years ago, and that we live in a country that isn't as idiotic to refuse a dying child to abort their unwanted r*** result. But I can't imagine what some other places might have done to her. Imagine an 11 year old getting punished by some idiots over this. People who're "pro-life" and don't even take into consideration who the mother is, or what the pregnancy in question is doing to her, are very much not "pro-life". They're "pro-death" if you ask me.

It's a shame that they won't even look at the video (meaning they would never see the part where it's a tumor). It's pretty much the latter half of the video where Illy says lawmakers don't know shit about the laws they're passing. I have mixed feelings on having an abortion, because there's arguments that sound valid for both sides, and because I'm not a female I'll never experience the fear that Illy was going through in the video. However, I believe that in the event that it's the mother or the child, there should be an option for the mother to save themselves if they choose. If the fetus, or "fetus" in the case of the video, is literally killing the host, then the option should always exist to save yourself. Just, if the baby is grown enough, at least try to make it instant death (for it) and lower the rate of failed abortions.

It varies per person- some people are for full pro life others are full pro choice while some people fall in between. Actually MOST people fall in between. It’s why I lean towards pro choice because it all depends on what you believe. Plus someone put it like this. Once in America they tried getting rid of alcohol. That obviously didn’t work- people still got it no matter what. It’s why I lean towards more of a pro-choice because it’s what you believe in.

I really don't get why people are so hush hush about it, It's great knowledge to have and thinking it's too gross to teach people is "preschooler who cant say swears" type of dealio. Teenagers ESPECIALLY need to know, yet they do not, since they're going through it already. Bodily functions, people have killed themselves and others because they don't know jack diddly squat about periods, teach boys too. Ignorance is never bliss.

Im part of two groups. One of them is called Muslims Against Planned Parenthood, and the other is called Immigrants Against Planned Parenthood. What we do is that during the month of Ramadan, where we cant eat or drink anything, we stand outside of our local one (located in a city where over 65 percent of the population are immigrants or Muslims, so plenty of supporters), but their is one difference from the other protests. We are silent the whole time, we stand their quietly, for 8 hours, without uttering a single word. There have been multiple times where nurses have come out and told us to "go back to Taliban", times where patients would see us, and call us terrorists and bombers. One protester, a guy who escaped the Darfur genocide in Sudan, was seen by a 28 year old patient. She walked right up to him and punched him. She is in jail for assault. Police have ruled on our favor multiple times because we werent yelling anything, not screaming in peoples ears, just standing silently with signs. We have only done this for three years, but two in the St.Paul area have moved because of us, just because of some immigrants fasting holding signs outside. Its crazy

That's a quick and drastic assumption on pro-life people. Does that mean you uphold legalized murder? How much respect do you think people should then have of you? Abortion that murders a human being (fetus) is wrong, but yes it is insanity that politicians made such a stupid defining error in what an abortion is.

This was super enlightening. I had no idea removing a mass from your uterus was counted as also an abortion legally speaking. That's horrifying that not enough people even know, whichever side you're on, that an actual tumor, and not even a fetus is part of this. Several years by now, early 2019, I had to have an irregular mass removed from my breast to be biopsied. Luckily, it was also benign like yours, but I would have never been able to know if it was or was not cancerous if I hadn't been able to have it removed for biopsy. If that irregular mass had been in my ovary after row v. wade had been passed, especially since I do live in Texas, I would have never been able to know either. I might have had to live on with the fear I may very well have a cancerous tumor growing inside me. It's just wrong on all counts, and you're absolutely right, your life is just as important, it should be just as important as these "pro-lifers" claim is as important as a clump of cells or an unborn baby. Some people really just don't understand nuance and many won't even listen, or just try to justify staying stuck in their beliefs. I truly hope videos like yours will reach even these supposed "pro-life" supporters, so at least they have the chance to not be ignorant. I'm subbed now! :D

Thank you for sharing your experience. In Sept 2022 I was excited to expect my 2nd baby only to go into my 8w ultrasound and discover the baby didn't have a heartbeat. I was given 3 options, to wait, take a pill or have a D&C...I chose the surgery because I had to return home ready to take care of my son. After everything was done and I read the surgical report labeled "abortion" I could never unsee it...

12:09 That happened to my Aunt. She had a miscarriage of a wanted baby, but the dead fetus didn't leave her body, so she had to go to an abortion clinic, or risk death. She had to walk past many protesters carrying pictures of dead fetuses, and calling her a murderer. Reminder, this was a *Wanted* child, she was there to "murder" a wanted child. Thankfully, they got it out in time, and she's alive today. But, what if she was in the wrong state, or it happened post roe. It's all really fucked up

I'm so sorry about your poor Aunt. It's bad enough that she had to deal with losing a baby she really wanted, but it's even more heartbreaking that she was dubbed a murderer, just because she needed a procedure that would save her after the miscarriage had failed to process naturally otherwise, she would die. Some people can be so cruel. I really hope your aunt is doing ok. ❤️

Same with my aunt. She and my uncle tried to have kids many, many, times. A few of those times she actually got pregnant. But not a single one was a success, and once or twice she had to get rid of the dead fetuses because her body couldn’t expel them. And the same thing happened with the protests. This was 7 years ago! I still remember once she actually got past the 12 week mark in pregnancy, I was quite little but she picked me up and told me that soon I was gonna have a baby cousin. Then I remember a few weeks later she was skinnier and she looked really sad. I understand what happened now. But the people still yelled at her. They called her a c*nt, w**re, and so many other names all because she lost another child that she wanted so badly. She and my uncle gave up soon after that, and it’s only brought us closer, but it makes me wonder why the people protesting think they know everything about every person who walks through those doors. I’m pro choice btw

jesus christ I'm so sorry that happened to you. At that age it shouldn't even be _considered_ to put the fault on the child. A sexual encounter with someone below the age of consent as someone above the age of consent is rape, plain and simple. (Obviously there can be exceptions, I'm not gonna judge a 16-year-old for having sex with a 15-year-old as long as both parties actively wanted it, but I'm talking about encounters with age gaps that cannot be excused)

Anyone who so much as thinks of doing such terrible things to little girls seriously needs to get mental help, such a crime shouldn't exist in a civilized society... I could swear I once saw a trailer on TV as early as the late 2000s for a story about a 6 year old girl getting pregnant, though I have no idea how true it was. It goes without saying it shouldn't happen in the first place, but girls being able to get pregnant before they're teenagers is crazy and harder to believe the younger it happens... It just doesn't sound like it should be possible. Is it a side effect of excess estrogen coming from women using birth control getting into drinking water? I think it would do America some good if professional fertility doctors came together and published a high profile documentary explaining everything our top medical scientists know about reproductive health in the present day with zero political interference, including mentioning facts both Planned Parenthood and far right republicans wouldn't want people to know.

We are all so proud of you, Illysa! You had the courage to speak out with such bravery over issues that seem to be controversial within the human community. (as someone with a scientific background, I don't understand why this is controversial in the first place) Regardless, some actually sane humans are out here to support you and your perspective. People who oppose abortion never really view the situation from the perspective of the human in whose body this all plays out. Their opinions are built over a model of life that is purely a façade. As a male, hearing stories like this only strengthen my respect for the female sex and gender.
