'Have an abortion with me!' Women take to TikTok to share their at-home, ... trends now
Women are taking to TikTok to share their at-home medical abortions, vlogging the process from taking the pills to the comfort foods they eat and how they feel afterwards in a new trend that is dividing the internet.
Multiple women have taken to social media to share 'day in the life' vlogs documenting the process of terminating their pregnancy at home and offering advice to other who plan on doing so.
Sunni, who goes by @justsunni on TikTok, said she decided to share the lighthearted vlog because this is the type of video she was looking for beforehand.
'Have an abortion with me,' she begins her 'Abortion Vlog' as she twirls around her kitchen as 'bright, gentle, spring jazz piano' music plays in the background.
She shows viewers how she prepared for the abortion - including stocking up on snacks and 'self-care stuff' as well as preparing meals in advance - for herself and her baby.

Sunni revealed that she had her first baby because she 'ghosted' the abortion she intended on having, but for this pregnancy she 'could not have another baby' and opted for the Mifepristone and Misoprostol pill method.
The single mom said that the abortion felt like a 'heavy period' and that she experienced feeling tired and irritated.
'It honestly just felt like another day, another period day,' Sunni said at the end of her vlog.
TikTok users were divided on where they stand on Sunni's abortion vlog.
Some viewers shared their appreciation of her openness and candid attitude.
'This is such an important video,' one user said.
'You're so brave for making this! Take it easy,' another wrote.
A user said 'Love this transparency and honesty,' while many other dubbed the video 'informative' and 'helpful'.
Meanwhile, on X (formerly known as Twitter) users did not offer the same positive feedback.
'Abortion kills a child; it's not something to vlog about,' Anna Lulis wrote on X.
'It's not like she didn't know what she was doing,' Lulis said in a video - mentioning that Sunni had referred to the unborn fetus as a 'baby' multiple times during the video.
'Abortion drugs aren't "self-care,"' she continued. 'They're not medication.'
Another woman who participated in the trend was @Mother_kraken on TikTok - who shared her own abortion experience with her local Planned Parenthood in a vlog on TikTok.
Other X users hit back, saying 'Her body her choice at least she’s sharing her experience to help others' and 'Abortion is healthcare and she wants to talk about her healthcare.'
However, other accounts agreed with Lulis - calling the vlog 'gruesome'.
'Sigh!! She's happy about killing a baby smh. Lord help us,' another account wrote.
'She could do whatever the f*** she wants because it’s her option to have an abortion, but the whole vlog and happy music behind it makes it absolutely f***ing wild. Imagine having a great time filming such video for internet clout,' a different account posted in
