Medical abortions — often called “abortion pills” — now account for one in three abortions in Pennsylvania. An OB-GYN protesting outside a clinic says the procedure has “completely changed the landscape.”

This scene from “The Abortion Divide” goes inside a clinic, where women undergo medical abortions, and follows protesters outside of it who say they can try to counter effects of the pill.

  1. the OBGYN who protests against abortions should stop harassing women as it is their body not hers and if someone stalked her and scolded her about her life decisions she would be outraged!

  2. The super religious obgyn is so full of herself that it's nauseating. Calling these women, who never asked for her opinion, "sweetie" with that sarcastic smile and following them around like a puppy. The savior complex with these people is so strong.

  3. You’re an adult, learn to use contraception/condoms!👎🏽 God bless the good doctors trying to save the innocent babies!🙏🏽

  4. These women are so sad. If an abortion wasn’t a big deal like they say then what aren’t the women more confident and less scared. Their fake smiles of relief don’t fool me. I know theirs a storm of emotions terrorizing them. Keep lying to yourselves but the truth is that you will be haunted with guilt for the rest of your lives.

  5. Please never do one after 12 weeks it is horrendous I had one at they never explained until it started happening what it would be like. And believe you me you will NEVER feel peace again. A little bit guilt is an understatement. My partner was waiting for a heart transplant I was a heroin and speed addiction and 2 children allready and he convinced me we wouldn't cope and my other kids would suffer. He sat and glared at me as I took the tablets glaring through the window you then go home and wait 2 days I also did another 4 years later at 18 weeks because I was still a heroin addict and social services had told me they would take my other 2 kids which they did anyway the day I went into hospital and left my kids with my parents I sat in a Catholic church after I had took those tablets packed to the brim during mass sobbing all the way through it .a women afterwards asked me if I wanted to go somewhere and talk .if ide known back then it could be stopped I would have done we were told by the hospital that once you swallow these there is no going back. My baby kicked all the way through labour with me crying hysterically through it yelling I've done the wrong thing. My boyfriend was a heroin dealer and wanted to leave to go and have a fix and thank goodness the nurse made him stay. That poor baby was born with its fists in its mouth like it was biting then in pain and was a perfect baby just small. My man then tried to chuck himself out of a 4 storey window but couldn't get them unlocked apparently they have them like this for this very reason . Still haven't got over it 13 years later despite having one more child that they took and was adopted. Couldn't use the pilimplants or injection because I've had a stroke before and blood clots and asking him to always use a condom was pointless. Should have just kept my legs shut. My other 2 children are the only reason that I kept going and they are now grown up. Pretty sure I am going to hell or at least think I ain't going anywhere nice after death because of it. Think it should be banned after 10:weeks unless it will hurt the mother to give birth medically . Also abortion councilling consists of "are you sure you want to do this" ??" Ok then sign here here's your tablets to take I'm sure you,re doing the right thing. It will all be ok now off you go see you in 48 hours.

    Wish souch somebody had been standing outside when I went . It probably would have changed the whole direction of my life so keep up the good work

  6. These bans have nothing to do with "babies" and all to do with power and extended government reach into our private lives. Once you open a door, it is not just you that gets to walk through it. You might not like who walks through it years later and you won't like the government intrusion they bring with it.

  7. Pro choice but respect both sides. That's actually interesting that some chose to reverse. My opinion if it feels right and you can and want to live with the choice do it.

  8. How can these Mothers abort after having children? Where did prevention of the pregnancy fail? Where did the Father fail in the prevention of the pregnancy? Where did the Mother fail in the prevention of the pregnancy? That is where the problem is. Right there. All through out our society. FAILURE to PREVENT PREGNANCY.

  9. Lmao according to Christians aborted babies go to heaven immediately, not giving them the chance to "sin and go to hell" in their lifetimes. So technically shouldn't this be a win for Christians? More people in heaven.

  10. This lady looks evil poor babies and I’m sure she isn’t at peace with herself wow right in front of our faces man slaughter

  11. I think it's good that there is an option to reverse but the manner in which it's conducted and the reason they push it is disgusting. Not everyone bases their lives by your god, it needs to be left out of the debate especially when it comes to legality. Separation of church and state is extremely overstepping.

  12. How can an MD give anecdotal information? I would never step food into the office of a physician who said an abortion is reversible, that is a lie! Lying to try and get people to do what you want, is far worse than someone just wanting to terminate a pregnancy.

  13. Women say this is women's rights…this is selfish rights this human life will intrude on your own plans …my life so it's ok to kill it you are killing …a human being …don't sugar coat it

  14. That doctor should be ashamed of herself. Healthcare in this country is a disaster for all but a few and she is wasting her time outside of a clinic that provides medical care. You want to be prolife? Then fight for everyone to have a right to healthcare and affordable prescriptions regardless of income or employment status. That is prolife to me. This is nothing but harassment of women seeking medical care.

  15. What these hypocritical people don't understand is. If abortion is made illigal it's still gonna happen. She doesn't listen to women who have had stories. Would she say this to a 11 year old who was raped and would die as she is forced to give birth? If I got a abortion and anyone came up to me and said this to me I would happily slap them and get a life.
