Pro-abortion activist Amelia Bonow, who co-founded the #ShoutYourAbortion campaign praising women for terminating their unborn children, released a video this week in which she tries to convince kids that abortion is totally OK, and even “part of God’s plan.”
I let a bunch of kids grill me about my abortion and it was great. #ShoutYourAbortion will be releasing a children’s book about abortion in 2020! https://t.co/1LSxdyf9f8

In the video, Bonow openly explains to two young teens that she had an abortion a few years ago because she simply “didn’t want a baby” after having sex with a guy without using a condom.
“We were both, like, bummed out that I got pregnant,” she casually tells one kid who asked how the father of her aborted baby felt about her terminating the pregnancy.
“I wouldn’t say that I was being reckless at the time. Mistakes happen,” she adds.
Bonow then proceeds to downplay what an abortion actually is to a young girl who asked what exactly happens during the procedure, saying the doctor inserts a “straw” into a woman’s uterus and “just kinda sucks the pregnancy out," kinda like a "crappy dentist appointment."
Even more disturbing was Bonow’s response to a middle school-aged boy who argued that women shouldn’t have abortions if they got pregnant by being reckless or if there’s nothing medically wrong with the baby.
“I mean, do we want people to just have all those babies?” Bonow challenged him.
When he responds that unwanted children can simply be put up for adoption, Bonow answers that if she is “forced to create life," she “has lost the right to [her] own life.”
When the same boy asks Bonow what she believes God thinks about abortion, Bonow responds, “I think it’s all part of God’s plan,” later adding that life doesn’t begin until “a person has a baby.”
To cap off the whole horrific show, Bonow added the Shout Your Abortion group is also planning to release a pro-abortion children’s book to de-stigmatize abortion among kids and young teens.
Thankfully, the video doesn't seem to be garnering a whole lot of praise. The clip currently has as many "thumbs down" as "thumbs up" on YouTube (where the comments section has been disabled), while Bonow's tweet of the video has been ratio'd into the stratosphere by vocal opponents. Even some pro-choicers or those on the fence say they're disturbed by the inclusion of young children in a debate about adult topics like unprotected sex and surgical abortion procedures. Others have added they're disturbed that an abortion activist is using vulnerable kids as unwitting props to promote her viewpoint.
