Well, this is just terrifying.

The courts in the United States have been waffling over a ban on the mailing of abortion pills from pro-death states to pro-life states, with states like Louisiana banning the pill completely.

But Cosmopolitan Magazine has got the back of young moms determined to end their offspring's lives.

Here's what Cosmo says:

While mifepristone definitely cuts down on the time and symptoms involved in a medication-induced abortion (keep reading for the full deets on that later), it's not a necessary part of the equation — aka you can safely and successfully end a pregnancy just with misoprostol, the other drug in the two-step abortion pill process.

The two steps in the abortion pill process are first take mifepristone to kill your baby then take a second set of pills, misoprostol, to force the birth of your baby.

This one-step process recommended in Cosmo could result in young women birthing live and very pre-term babies, all the way up to 24 weeks and 2lbs weight as Isabella points out in the video, and killing them or letting them die outside the womb.

Planned Parenthood has already announced plans for misoprostol abortions if mifepristone is banned. However, born-alive laws dictate that babies that are born, well, alive, must be given medical care. In many states, failing to do so is considered wrongful death or straight-up homicide (because it is).

Women conducting at-home abortions, meanwhile, will go through the horror of seeing their living baby gasp for air.

It's not hard to identify the side of evil, folks. You just have to have eyes to see.
