Inside Texas’s Underground Abortion Pill Network
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2022
- After Texas passed two of the country’s most restrictive abortion bills, activists formed an underground network to distribute misoprostol, a medication used for self-managed abortions. This can also mean looking across the U.S.-Mexico border to access the pills.

For a state that "loves" freedom they sure love to tell people what they can and can't do.
Like no killing other humans?
Christianity doesn’t value freedom, family, or life.
@@ApoBeef Majority of people who are educated and understand biology understand that an embryo is not a representation of a human. Even if it were, better to abort early on than to tax society with an excessively long, slow abortion - which is what happens when someone who was never cared for is discarded by society, i.e. homeless people.
@@ChristianF15cher When it benefits the religion it does. Lol
Like the law?
I wish the people in the comments commenting about killing babies also had the same respect for the heartbeats of those who are homeless and the heartbeat of those in the foster care system. Abortion saves lives and helps prevent cycles of poverty. There’s also a lot of comments about women needing to close their legs I guess people forgot about men.
And there's enough people on the planet..Just want ever kid wants a parent that didn't want them and can't afford to take care of them..Can't have an abortion but can drop bombs on people watching TV..GTFO.. People are just sheep and hypocrites
🎯🎯🎯
My daughter (adopted) was born into the poorest most disadvantaged scenario possible on earth with .01 chance of survival. Her first 5 years of life was fighting starvation, the elements and death. Her tiny body was covered in scars and legs deformed from malnutrition. Now she's an idealistic teenager thriving towards success. I would love for you to sit down and tell her all the reasons why she should of died and she can explain why she needed to live. You would find that human life is not an abstract argument when it's in person.
@@phillylove7290 did we ask 🤔
Yes your right the men are just as guilty actually more guilty than the women . Stop letting men hustle you for sex and there is no reason he can’t wear a condom
Had an abortion in France in 2010 in much the same way, except it was free and provided by the State. After confirming the pregnancy dates and speaking to a wonderful counselor, I was sent home with the pills to self-perform the abortion with direct phone line to a nurse for medical and emotional support if needed. I was so grateful for the caring, private, free, non-judgmental and supportive care I received.
"free and provided by the state"
Sounds like legalized murder paid for with tax money.
too bad your baby could live to. experience lufe murderer. soon you will face judgment
Judgement comes when you bear a child and realize what has been done. Judgement is your memory and you won't forget, not even 50 years later. That's what my mom said about my siblings exterminated.
@@goldfishi5776 That's your view but it's not mine. I don't live in fear of any judgement. I will not forget this choice but it's a memory full of relief, gratitude for the option I was given, and solidarity will all women who want to choose their destiny. I have no regrets as do the majority of women who get abortions. 50 years ago it's likely your mother got illegal and traumatic abortions. Another case for providing fast and safe abortion care at the earliest time possible.
The fact is it’s not free the tax payers pay for peoples abortions here it should be a right to choose if you want too but also I don’t support it so I don’t want my money I earned going to abortions I’m glad Texas did what they did saves money from peoples paychecks
I had an abortion when I was 15. I am 59, now. Back then, you got seaweed sticks inserted in to the uterus to open it up. Barbaric. I feel the pain and horrible cramping, now. My brother, 14, asked what was wrong. I had to tell him, cuz we were taking care of my mom who was dying of cancer. No Hospice then. He drove to a liquor store, and waited outside for 2 hours, trying to get someone to buy him booze. He got the bottle, and I drank it all that horrible night. My boyfriend drove me, with my brother crying as we left, he thought they would kill me.
Thank whoever for a simple pill, instead of that horror I had....
Please do not take them away, women will do ANYTHING to end a pregnancy, ANYTHING. Jeannie
This is true. Women wl go through dangerous measures
Thank you for sharing your story. I wish more people could hear/read it. Just watched a different Vice video with teens in Mississippi, discussing their pro-Life/ pro-choice stances. A young boy expressed skepticism about what women could be facing when safe, legal choices are taken from them. If he only knew.
Any thing, apart from prevent it
@@stayclassybeautiful4530 you say that, but many women do use other means of contraception to prevent pregnancy. Those are not 100%. The burden of pregnancy will always fall on the woman because it happens in our body, which is why it must be left to us to decide whether we carry to term or not.
@@johmayo7042 I have had 2 abortions. I had the choice to be safer sexually, and so does every other woman. I am grateful I had the choice, but forever haunted by what I had to go through, so I have every right to say how I feel
Damn, if I were in that abusive relationship and was pregnant, I'd get all the abortions I needed to prevent being trapped even further. Having a child with your abuser significantly decreases your chances of getting out. Kudos to all the activists risking it all to help total strangers.
@@Lil.Grandpa Cry
@@alx8571
That’s pathetic and disgusting
So why not give it up for adoption then or why not be responsible in the first place use a condom use birth control Spermicide A diaphragm or maybe not have sex at the very least give it up for adoption so you’re going to murder your child because of irresponsibility makes sense
@@billroadhouse9573 You beat ur wife and kids baldy 👩🏻🦲
@@Lil.Grandpa it's not about getting back at the abuser. It's about getting out. I gotta put me first Lucius. And a child born into that kinda situation isn't gonna have a good life anyway.
As a man, I will never understand nor experience the psychological, psychical, mental and/or emotional pain that a woman has to undergo to get an abortion. Why should anyone; especially old white conservative congressmen, get a say in this?
It’s women heading up both sides of the issue. Propaganda tells you it’s the boogie man.
As a man, maybe you should also call out your fellow men to stop pressuring women into have sex without condoms
@@MVGAactual except if after they're born they're left to starve and live in abject poverty, then the religious right don't want to know.
There's 7 billion people on this planet, we don't need more! We've fucked the joint.
Because who you are (race or gender) shouldn't dictate what you do or don't have a say in. What is this, the 1800's?
@@xm1a1x contraceptives are a good idea and should be encouraged but that cant be always expected either as first they are not foolproof and in the heat of a moment they are often forgotten
The irony of the heavily Catholic country of Mexico allowing abortion pills, but not Texas...feels like Mexico isn't the 3rd World country here...
It's also extreamly ironic when the largest and the 5th largest Islamic nations have better abortion laws.
They don't allow anybody to mail those pills because they can cause you to have a heart attack.
oh wow mexico allows killing babies and texas does not ;''( this is so unfair . lol get help
@@user-ve1sr2wi1w lmao Texas has the death penalty and Mexico doesn’t. Lmao. How ironic
@@dirtydinero6622 Omg the mexican organs of the goverment tottaly are very respectful and tottaly not bribable.
Not everything that is illegal is wrong. The laws are an imperfect implementation of a system of ethics with levers and cogs pushed and pulled by various powerful extremist groups. If you think something is ethical and correct, fight for it.
If I thought pedophilia was ethical, would it be right to fight for it?
Amen!!! Law and morality aren't the same thing!
It's about religious freedom and ethical/moral freedom, following your own beliefs not having someone else's forced on you.
@@RiRi_Love Correct but the comment I was responding to was about morality. Laws and morality don't always equate. There are plenty of things you can do that are moral but illegal and vice versa. I was raised Catholic yet have ALWAYS been pro-choice and always will be.
It used to be illegal to teach enslaved people how to read
this is exactly what everyone warned us about when this law and laws like it were being passed.
I like how we’re all blind to just open our eyes to see the bigger point of irresponsibility.
She said “I’ve been with my partner for a month”
Then said “after 2 weeks”
So basically you met the guy, had sex shortly after you met him, we’re stupid enough to consensually have sex, which having sex leads to pregnancy, so once again, got pregnant, and were all supposed to feel bad for her OWN ADULT actions? I mean like dude, you just stated you had sex shortly MOMENT’S after meeting him..? I’m sorry are we all not seeing the common sense?
The lawmakers in these countries are trying to fight caucasians dwindling birth rates. Is it working? Not sure.
This is exactly what we were warning everyone about when people sat out for the 2016 election. The DNC cheated to oust Sanders over H. Clinton in 2016. That action alone caused the many of the left to sit out that election.
@Haris Holmes
Does sex make babies?
@@ircriz2586 bet ya such a fun person to be around nerd
As a fellow Texan in San Antonio right now it’s real, it’s scary, frustrating, difficult and upsetting that I cannot make a choice for my own body.
The law that governor Greg abbot made is appalling!
The law states that even if a CHILD were to get r*ped, or incest were to occur to a CHILD, she would have to keep the baby and she cannot abort!!
It’s disgusting and appalling that he made this horrible law and that it actually got approved!! 😡😡😡
it’s awful! they’re “protecting” the life of an unborn child, but a young girl or literal child who was raped or was involved in incest could risk her life if she gives birth. it’s so wrong
@@cayliej Exactly….it is disgusting appalling and absolutely wrong which is why a lot of us Texan women and even some men are fighting against this abortion ban… I don’t care if I go to jail I don’t care if I go to prison for fighting for a women/child’s right to abort.
it’s disgusting to think that somebody’s daughter, granddaughter,niece, somebody’s little or big sister can get raped or get abused sexually by a family member get pregnant and forced to give birth to a baby that they never wanted, never planned on having…It is absolutely appalling that Greg Abbott created this and is just letting this happen! It makes me sick not just as a woman but as a human being that this mentally sick man in a wheelchair is basically allowing pedophilia/rapes to occur to children/women and FORCE them to keep a child they do not want and that their body medically cannot handle, children cannot mentally, physically, medically handle being pregnant or giving birth.
No child should ever have to have adult fears like this…no child obviously should never be raped or touched, but the big thing is if does happen and it happens under the families noses that innocent child should never be forced to keep a fetus that they don’t want or physically can even have…it just sickens me and makes my stomach turn and at the same time make my blood boil that Greg Abbott is ALLOWING this he could change this, but he does NOT want to which makes me even more sick…he is a monster to Texas…
@HunterBidensCrackPipe sooo force the child that was raped to keep a baby that they can medically CAN NOT handle? Hell no…that is absolutely disgusting…
@HunterBidensCrackPipe I agree with ending rapists lives just not forcing a child to keep a baby they medically cannot handle because of the rapist attacking that child.
Wait, I thought Texas allows abortion up till the first heartbeat, which can be as early as 6 weeks. Which means if someone was raped, she could quickly figure out if she's pregnant and kill the unborn baby.
At 6 weeks pregnant my doc had to do a vaginal sonogram on me and printed the pic. The embryo was the size of half a grain of rice! I've showed my daughter (23) her first ever pic and we both agree...
Stepping on an acorn is NOT killing a tree.
Exactly. The pro life movements exaggerates it SO much. “Tearing limb from limb” Majority of abortion are performed from early on, you know your side is wrong when you have to exaggerate science.
@@DustMoons what I find truly fascinating is that so many protesters act like abortion is some liberal God hating fun thing women can't wait to go do, like getting a tattoo or some such ( eye roll)
I've even heard a friend claim 'some women's use it as birth control!! Which is akin to getting a tooth pulled rather than submit to flossing your teeth!! Making things illegal doesn't make them go away it just makes them cost more money and be less safe.
@@colleenlally-ross7105 Exactly! They are so out of reality they think abortion could be some type of luxurious experience. Either that or they scare us with unrealistic videos of woman bleeding out to death on the floor because of her abortion. The thing is the irony in that as that will be the result of banning abortion.
I support abortion
But there should definitely be a time limit to it
Late term abortions are a crime
@@kostam.1113 99% of abortions are carried through early in the pregnancy and late abortions are majority of the time a result of woman with physical problems for her or the baby. Trust me when I say no woman with half a brain would carry through with a unwanted pregnancy that can be so painful only too go “oh yep todays the day”.
Vice, you never fail to show me something I didn’t know was happening. Thanks
I'm in San Antonio and didn't know....I thought something like this could happen with our new laws though
Relevant reporting!
My man getting like from the big boy, dayum
The woman not having a phone and having a sister-in-law as a best friend breaks my heart. She's so strong to seek help. I'm so proud of all these women!
So proud of them ending life’s 😁
You’re proud? That’s hilarious. Baby yeeting is the height of irresponsibility and unaccountability. Being proud of it is the height of delusion.
@@MVGAactual it’s not a “child” lol it’s a group of cells. Cope harder
She is very brave and much respect for doing so.. More women need to speak out like her, so people will know it is your sisters , mothers, wives who have to seek out help under the table . Alone when no women should be during this time.
@@MVGAactual I’m a person. Fetuses haven’t experienced personhood yet. Try again.
Abusive relationships are a good reason to take these pills. You never want to be tethered into abuse bc that man would have a reason to keep coming after you
@Millstone Nat it's an embryo or a fetus, it's a potential to be a person
Even better would be if these women would grow tf up and not let a guy bust nuts in them when he's so "abusive". Feminists in the streets, getting turned on by abusers in the sheets. Classic.
@@yoloswaggins1579 I can’t speak for anyone else but I was in an abusive relationship and I didn’t have any choice but to give him sex whenever he wanted to and it’s easy to judge if you’ve never been there
@@yoloswaggins1579 You don't realize a lot of women get abused/forced into sex in these relationships. Some people don't understand that abusive men don't go around advertising that their abusive (neither do abusive women) they can act completely normal and calm in the beginning, but usually abuse starts to show when you move in together/get married/pregnancy, because then the abuser feels like they have you trapped and they can start controlling you. It can be really difficult to acknowledge that the person you fell in love with, isn't at all who they pretended to be, and when they've put you in a position where you're tied to them (either through finances, residence or child) it can be both in practical terms and emotional terms really difficult to get out of that situation.
I wouldnt call them a man, but a dog
6 weeks... As someone with PCOS I didn't know I was pregnant until 7 weeks... That is so messed up IMO.
I have endometriosis and was told by doctors I would not be able to get pregnant because of the amount of scarring I have. I got pregnant but didn't find out until I was nearly in my second trimester. Luckily I wanted the baby. Had that happened to me a few years before though, I would have definitely sought an abortion. These laws are so inhumane.
@@jfinney225 how are the laws inhumane. Getting an abortion is just avoidance of responsibility. If your gonna spread open your legs, accept what comes with it, or dont do it. Simple stuff.
@@tcfkappa8007 men should mandatorily get vasectomies because one man can impregnate many women in a short period of time.

Now they also got to worry bout having natural miscarriage someone lying to law stating they had illegal abortion n dealing w all tht like wth is going on In our world when old white men decide what to do w female bodies they want ppl on welfare period it's a revenue they kno what they r doing
@@nelsonth 😂😂😂 buddy you go do that
These abortion activists are so awesome. It’s sad that this situation is happening in America. You want women to have babies but won’t provide a good enough social net to support the babies they have. Sigh…😓
and the hospital bill just to have one is insane in itself… people in the uk who get told how much it costs to have a baby, their jaw is on the ground and they can’t believe the cost just to have a child in the US they’re told is real. if there was a way to not kill babies and have resources to lower that gap, we’d be in a perfect world… but we don’t. not everyone is able to make that choice. you’ll say it’s a choice, but a lot of things in life are “choices” that can’t go another way in everyone’s lives.
@@MVGAactual Nah, the GOP has that angle covered. Unless someone profits them, of course.
This was never about babies, this is about pregnancy. And pregnancy trashes a woman’s body.
@@billroadhouse9573 You do know raising a child costs a lot more nowdays, right? Most people can't get by with just one paycheck. You can't use your children as a free workforce anymore. It's a completely different situation.

@@nudetaynehatwobble "Baby"?! So if a woman is three weeks pregnant, can she claim that fetus--baby as a dependent on her taxes?
@@stevechance150
What does that have to do with anything
Abortion is murder either give up the child for adoption or better yet use a condom, birth control, practice abstinence, use a diaphragm, spermacide or get a vasectomy
This gives me so much hope. I was coerced by my partner while on antibiotics and had a pregnancy scare. I called planned parenthood but they could not get me an appointment before the 6th week. I had an incredibly botched birth and got sepsis after, and wouldn't have been treated if my partner wouldn't have done the physical lifting to get me on a gurney. My trunk and legs were temporarily paralyzed. With out help or at a hospital where even that effort wouldn't have helped, I would face death. And he watched that happen and is ok with it happening again. Tell me that isnt abuse! I dare you! After 5 weeks I got my period, but I was so terrified during that time period. It's just wrong 😰😰😰
Am so sorry you had to go through that and i hope you find a way out of that relationship

@@tuckerbugeater then logically we should let them abort. TO prevent that from happening.

They care about the sanctity of unborn life, but as soon as that baby is born all the way through their adult and until the day they die, conservatives don't care about their quality of life or if they happen to have a medical condition that makes continuing a pregnancy life threatening. So they don't care about the sanctity life of already living people.
@HunterBidensCrackPipe You can't fulfill your potential if you die from an ectopic pregnancy because the doctors are too afraid to save your life
@HunterBidensCrackPipe What if someone you love died because a doctor was afraid to abort a pregnancy that had no chance of survival and was guaranteed to killed your loved one? What if the law allowed no exception for this situation and you just had to watch the person you love lose their life when they could have been saved?

If people want to reduce abortions and care that much about fetuses' then they would be prochoice. The prolife position has failed to offer any satisfactory solutions that have statistically reduced the likelihood of pregnancies. Advocating for abstinence only sex education in schools, failing to offer social healthcare to young people or low income individuals and the myth that you can simply adopt have only served to unsafe sex and ultimately abortion.
The only two people who were anti abortion that had even a fraction of common sense were Margaret Sanger and C. Everett Koop. Both were strongly anti abortion but they acknowledged the importance of sex education and birth control. Not a single pro lifer has shown that degree of common sense since then.
also they want to make the morning after pill illegal - that has stopped more abortions that ALL of their screaming
What degree of common sense says that it is ok to end a life?
Ladies… do what YOU have to do! Your body your choice. Period.

@@phillylove7290 yeah, I’m safe as long as I’m vaccinated but that doesn’t mean i still can’t get sick. If I’m vaccinated I’m less likely to have severe symptoms compared to those unvaccinated.

Outlawing abortion has never actually reduced the number of abortions in any significant way. It has, over and over again, led to the number of abortions going wrong and permanently harming the woman skyrocketing, though.
Abortion is an emergency brake when the alternative would be worse, and I *do* want to reduce the emergencies where they become necessary.
Decent sex ed, good and cheap (even better, free) access to contraception, and making sure that no unplanned child would be born into poverty, nor grow up in it, making sure any woman who has an unplanned child will be safe from negative "side effects", and respecting the human right to an abortion if that isn't enough, now, that's the way to actually get those numbers down.
I've had 2 abortions, hardest decisions I've ever made and I'll forever hate myself for them. They cost $800 in my country and I had zero care or help in regards to my mental health. You rock up to the clinic, sign the papers, get put in a room with other women and wait in silence. Inevitably you end up talking to the other women and supporting eachother, women are are amazing for that. On the other side... In another comments section of RUclips a few days ago, a woman in her 50s was being heavily critical of young women who have children when they cannot provide for said children, end up homeless ect. I stated that I had made my decisions in order to not end up in that position myself (defending anyone who can or cannot make that decision themselves) and she told me how "disgusting" I am for "laying on my back too much and not learning lessons"... 🤦🏼♀️ Like, how on earth does that mentality come from another woman of that age? Ughhhh.
Also had 2! Both for medical reasons. Second was hardest thing I ever did. But it was a simple choice… a choice between a 4 week embryo versus my 5 month old and I. It tore me up, but, I couldn’t live with myself for continuing to let my medical conditions deteriorate because my 5 month old was here first and deserved a functioning mother. I also badly needed another orthopedic surgery - like, my 15th one - and you can’t get anything while pregnant. No meds, no surgery, no shots, no anything. And that’s not something that one can always commit to at any time. I also didn’t see any “pro-life” person offering to come bathe my daughter and chop food while I cried from searing pain. They only care about an embryo; adults & kids don’t matter to them.
you 2 are wonderful women, please always share your story, it helps younger women, and never let anyone tell you both that you are wrong or bad people. You 2 are incredible ❤️🙁

I gotchu, someone mentioned the same thing earlier, so this was the response I gave them.
Here it is “Now “hypothetical scenario;” the condom rips and breaks, it’s an “accident.” (Which is exactly what it means) “an unknown course of foretold actions to be seen” as we can’t see in the future, but still doesn’t give you the right to kill a person. But over all, it happened, and your only way of “getting rid” of the baby, is of “your convenience;”
Even when you knew what “could” happen when you “consented” to having sex. (Even if you didn’t)
*Example*
If I get into a car crash, or in other words get into an accident, because my “brakes fail”, (which I’m not a mechanic and never knew they were bad or going to fail on me) it was an accident, even if I killed someone (which wasn’t my true intention) I still did, and that person will be forever dead, not like I can revive them, But regardless the court will say “NOPE;” you shouldn’t been “responsible” and checked your brakes.” Or “ you should’ve done your research before you got behind a wheel” it’s irresponsible of you to not know the ( rules/what can happen/possibilities ) if you get on the road with other cars that can “quite literally” do the same thing.

LOL, what? Do you actually live in Germany? People in Germany have to pay for their healthcare. Ever heard the term Krankenkassenbeitrag? Depending on your income this can be well over 400 Euros PER MONTH. On average you pay about 15% of your monthly income for your healthcare (Krankenkasse). If you opt to be privately insured, this will likely end up being more. Are you on Hartz4 or something that you do not know this? And as far as our abortions laws go, they are completely outdated. Technically, abortion is still illegal in Germany, it is simply not persecuted in the first 12 weeks if it happens after a mandatory counseling session. And unless you have a really low income, you pay for your elective abortion yourself, on top of your monthly healthcare fees.

Last year in school our RE teacher asked the class if life began at conception or at the first heartbeat. EVERY SINGLE BOY stuck their hand up at conception whilst every girl stuck their hand up for at first heartbeat. This was a catholic school and every girl said. ‘I personally wouldn’t but I would support those that did.’ We need to Teach the boys about how it truly affects women but they’ve never had to even consider what being pregnant is like so they will never truly understand
That has nothing to do with it life does start at conception and abortion is murder the only time people should get an abortion is if the mother is going to die by giving birth she was raped or molested or the child is dead and not viable abortion shouldn’t be used like contraception it’s statistically fact most women that get abortions get more than one they are using it like birth control that is wrong
Abortion is murder either give up the child for adoption or better yet use a condom, birth control, practice abstinence, use a diaphragm, spermacide or get a vasectomy
@@TRIX-wn2sl I agree that you shouldn’t use abortions the same way you use contraception. HOWEVER where in my original comment did I mention that my comment was how we need to educate people on how to respect other people’s decisions and how people should listen to each other
I would also like to say that getting rid of abortion clinics and the laws protecting people to have one actually increases abortions as many women may discover options that aren’t available to them through the process and also they can have a safe procedure by a medical professional (like the lady in the video) and didn’t have to do it in a back alleyway with a coat hanger. Like I would much rather the option be there then it to be taken away and having more people die from back street procedures then not.
I’m not trying to discount what you are saying but you are still in school and haven’t seen the real world along with those other students.

Then I dated some of these low life chicks that get these things. I mean one was a lawyer, the other became a PA. I’m talking moral low life scum that made their dreams come true by vacuuming out their womb from time to time. It takes a toll on the persons character to vacuum and forget.

It's a strong uterine stimulant which forces a monthly menstrual cycle to come forth. Chamomile can be found in your grocery store in the tea section, and can be purchased from tea shops as well as purchased online. It grows as a succulent-like plant and easily grows literally anywhere.
Please take medical advice only from your doctor, not some random person on YT or the internet. Also remember that life begins at conception, this is because the immediate fusion of sperm and egg creates a zygote, which has unique human DNA and will continue to grow into a baby. Using any other metric to determine when life "begins" is completely arbitrary and not even agreed on by the pro-abortion community.
I like how we’re all blind to just open our eyes to see the bigger point of irresponsibility.
She said “I’ve been with my partner for a month”
Then said “after 2 weeks”
So basically you met the guy, had sex shortly after you met him, we’re stupid enough to consensually have sex, which having sex leads to pregnancy, so once again, got pregnant, and were all supposed to feel bad for her OWN ADULT actions? I mean like dude, you just stated you had sex shortly MOMENT’S after meeting him..? I’m sorry are we all not seeing the common sense?
@@ircriz2586 So? I had sex with my bf hours after meeting him for the first time. We had been talking for almost a year before that, so it wasn't some recless action. We were friends for a long time before meeting, so why should have we waited? Why on earth would YOU be the right person to decide when women can have sex instead of the actual women in these situations?
Such good work, thank you activists and volunteers! The name-callers can keep saying what they want; it's the women getting the CARE they need whose lives are being SAVED.
It's the new Dallas Buyer's Club, 2022 sequel/reboot. In all seriousness though, it's tragic that this has to be a thing. Kudos to those who take risks to provide these products to those that need it.
I bow down to these lady’s. Much love to you guy keep up the good work stay strong
