Emily Letts is an abortion counselor from New Jersey who found herself pregnant. Not feeling prepared to have a child, she decided to have a first-trimester surgical abortion. And film it. And put it on YouTube.

"I just want to share my story—To show women that there is such thing as a positive abortion story."
Letts later elaborated in the video that she does not regret her decision and that she is in fact in awe of her body's ability to create a life. In a piece published in Cosmopolitan, Letts explains that she chose the non-sedated surgical option for her abortion over an RU-486 chemical abortion specifically to film the procedure and put it online. She received an IUD following her abortion to avoid any subsequent unplanned pregnancies.
