| Description | Anti-Abortion Activists Send Death Threats, Prayers on Twitter to Tweeting Mom
Angie Jackson says nothing is off-limits on Twitter, not even the details of her abortion.
The 27-year-old has turned to the micro blogging site, and to her blog and YouTube videos, to chronicle her experience taking RU-486, commonly known as the abortion pill, in an attempt to "demystify" abortion for other women.
The posts, which have drawn outrage from abortion opponents online, can be graphic.
Jackson had an IUD, a device that is placed into the uterus to prevent pregnancy, but it failed.
Already the mother of a 4-year-old son with special needs, Jackson, who lives in Tampa, Fla., with her boyfriend, said that after a difficult and life-threatening first pregnancy her doctors advised her to not get pregnant again. |
