Live tweeting abortion, Part IV: RU4 publicity?
Read Part I, Part II, Part III, Part V, Part VI, Part VII, Part VIII, Part IX, and Part X. Pro-lifers can share their thoughts at #livetweetingabortion.
WARNING: Vulgarity ahead.
Today has been a publicity filled day for Angie Jackson, capped off late this afternoon by an email from ABC News requesting an interview. (Angie will be speaking with a producer tomorrow.) Recall abortion hype was her goal:
Liberal rag Salon gave Angie an atta girl (emphasis the author’s)…
[T]here is something reassuring about how she matter-of-factly walks us, and herself, through the whole process. It’s as though she’s live-tweeting the aftermath of a routine medical procedure, like a wisdom tooth extraction….
Considering that abortion is so prone to politicized distortions and outright lies, Jackson is doing women a real favor. This isn’t another case of overshare-itis, it’s an example of how amid all the frivolous cacophony of Facebook, Twitter and the like, some folks are, like, actually doing good.
Alan Colmes thought Angie’s tweets were “almost like guerilla sex ed.” (So funny that Angie later tweeted, “WTF is the Alan Colmes show?”)
Then there were the downers from our side, including Townhall, Family Research Council, and, of course me. Which brings me to Angie’s accusation:
Now this makes no sense. Did Angie only want to “demistify” abortion to pro-aborts? Did she not intend to persuade pro-lifers? Rather, shouldn’t Angie be thanking me for bringing pro-lifers to #livetweetingabortion?
And only in the crazy pro-abort world in which we live could a mother seeking publicity for killing one child feign concern a pro-lifer might harm her other child.
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
A paranoid murderer…hmmmmmm???
This whole thing is so sick. I mean – SICK SICK. If I were pro-choice I wouldn’t want this woman getting publicity. She’s evidence of everything we know about abortion that pro-choice people want to deny, i.e. Not all (probably not even most) abortions are committed by mothers agonizing over their tragic decisions. Many abortions are committed for purely selfish reasons. The level of selfish delusion this woman displays is revolting. She keeps saying she’s going to die – from what? B/c she had complications in her last pregnancy? Give me a break. She’s doing this b/c she didn’t want to be pregnant – didn’t want the pregnancy symptoms, the hassle of a child. Every word out of her mouth aside from “Gosh, guess you guys just want me to DIE” completely belies her argument that she’s doing this for ANY other reason than that it’s just an inconvenience to what she WANTS. SICK SICK SICK. Congratulations, you just publicly murdered your second child. Bravo, take your bow, do your interviews. You should be so proud. *GAG* I feel so bad for her other child.
ABC News?? Check out google and you will find they are planning massive layoffs.
Obviously they are scraping for news. Most important, it sounds like they don’t have much in the way of viewers either.
I knew it, I knew it! I figured this would happen as I began to see this story all over the blogosphere.
Thanks for all the work in following this disturbing story.
Uhh…okay. So, you broadcast on YouTube and Twitter ALLLL about your abortion, and you’re worried about a blog deciding to actually post what YOU’VE ALREADY POSTED and made available for the world to see???
LOLOLOL
This woman is in search of attention and clearly mentally unstable to do something like this. This is a cry for help.
There’s no “mystery” in what abortion does, so there’s really no need to “demystify” it for anyone. So what’s your real motive, Angie?
And wow, Salon, with all the “good things” one could be doing in the world using Twitter, I think one could probably find something more constructive and life-affirming than expelling one’s own dead child. Yeah, pretty sure about that.
By all means, don’t harm her child!
I mean…that’s obviously HER job.
She’s obviously mentally disturbed and lying about “death threats.”
I feel so sorry for her in a way. She’s so screwed up mentally that she uses both her kids, the live one and the dead one for attention fodder for herself.
How about the media call one of the THOUSANDS of women who were harmed physically and emotionally by their abortions…..just to make the interview balanced.
Remember Jill, you’re an exception in the pro-life movement because you and your readers “are a bunch of crazies.” ;)
can’t stomach this. Need to stop visiting this blog for a bit.
Um, okay…so this girl tweets her abortion, posts herself on youtube bragging about the abortion, and feigns surprise when someone from the pro-life side posts about it, and acts like they are the ones responsible for publicizing what she’s doing? How ridiculous.
By all means, don’t harm her child!
I mean…that’s obviously HER job.

Really!
CT – you’re right, this woman is a HOT MESS! Tweet on, Angie, you’re making our side look good.
Using (and in the case of the youngest, killing) her kids as attention-getting devices, huh?
Münchausen’s By Proxy, anyone?
While I am pro-choice, I must say I found this to be rather unsettling. This woman seems like she is seeking attention. I don’t think I could ever bring myself to have an abortion, but if I did, I know that I would be way too emotionally disturbed to even talk about it.
You insinuate that she wouldn’t care if her son were killed in this post. Do you really think that’s true?
I think there’s a serious discussion to be had here, but this post (and your whole website) is as publicity-seeking as Angie’s stunt is.
Some of the comments are hard to believe, too. Cherie28, do you really think that pro-lifers wouldn’t threaten her life? What desert island have you been living on for the past thirty years?
