A woman has left a pro-life campaigner gutted and ‘in tears’ after she took an abortion pill during a live TV interview.
Appearing on Fox 2 News Detroit’s Let It Rip segment, Jex Blackmore discussed the Food and Drug Administration’s decision to let abortion pills be prescribed via telehealth.
Host Charlie Langton moderated the debate between the pro-choice activist and pro-life campaigner Rebecca Kiessling, 52.
“They’re incredibly safe,” Blackmore said as she explained how the mail-order system works.
“It is extremely easy and private and allows you to really manage your abortion.”
Blackmore then held up one pill and said it was mifepristone, a progesterone that inhibits the development of pregnancy.
She explained that mifepriston was the first pill a person would take to terminate a pregnancy and misoprostol, the second pill, causes cramping and bleeding to empty the uterus.
“I want to show you how easy it is, and safe it is, by taking it myself,” she said.
A shocked Langton then asked: “You’re not pregnant, are you?” to which Blackmore replied: “I would say that this is going to end a pregnancy. This would be my third abortion.”
Kiessling shook her head in response before saying there is “no dignitary in it.”
She later took to Facebook and blasted Blackmore for ‘callously (beginning) the process of killing her baby on TV.’
“After the segment ended, I just broke down in tears,” Kiessling wrote.
“It’s like someone pushing a button for a drone strike on innocent victims like it’s nothing because they don’t see them, while the rest of us are fully aware of the carnage to ensue, the shocking loss of life.”
Pro-life commenters replied to her posts with outrage and shock, with one writing: “I’m so sorry you had to witness that. Prayers for you.”
Another said: “Just watched this and am shaking. So insane.”
