Outing Abortion, From Town Halls to Twitter
A
Florida woman tweeting her abortion is trying to take the shame out of
the procedure. It's a high-tech twist on an evolving mission, one

One hundred thousand people have watched Angie Jackson's abortion. Late last month, Jackson posted a video
of herself to YouTube, recorded after she took RU-486, a medication
used to end pregnancies. "I found out about a week ago, Saturday, that
