Nebraska resident Haile McAnally believes it was “divine intervention” that saved her from bleeding to death in her own bathroom shortly after high school.
She told Fox News Digital that abortion medication, in the form of pills, was to blame for her having “hemorrhaged in the bath,” and that she is now focused on sparing other women the same possible fate.
“Planned Parenthood told us that this is what is women empowerment. This is what women do when they can’t handle it. They take this route, and they don’t acknowledge the pain it causes,” McAnally said.Â
“The same pills I took under direction of medical professionals, they can be shipped anywhere at any time,” she continued. “I can’t imagine being a young woman in college and maybe finding herself in this position, ordering these pills online, not knowing what kind of maybe pre-medical condition she has, and she finds herself in the same position.”
McAnally said the experience is also part of what motivated her to switch parties from a pro-choice “registered Democrat” to a pro-life Republican.
“I had always been on the left because I thought they were the side that was more open to having these conversations, the free-thinkers,” she recalled.
McAnally said her questions about how and why her ordeal happened were met with, “You can’t talk about it. You can’t talk about it because it’s not part of our agenda. It’s not a part of our platform to talk about any complications this may have.”
“I noticed the more I asked questions, the people on the right were more willing to talk about it, which, in the pro-life space, I thought I was gonna be condemned. I thought it was gonna like, ‘You’re gonna go to hell. This is horrible. You’re a murderer.’ These things that you always hear from the left that the right is gonna call you,” she said.
And I was like, ‘I’m gonna talk about it and see what happens.’ And the right was so forgiving and so loving and really embraced my story and really said, ‘This is horrible, I’m glad you seek forgiveness and counsel for this.'”
McAnally told Fox News Digital that it had always been her dream to become a mother. When she got pregnant by her boyfriend, however, she said he had a very different response.
“He asked me what I was gonna do about it and hung up the phone, and I haven’t talked to him since,” she said.
She recalled being fearful of going through the experience alone and turning to pro-choice groups for guidance.
“I remember seeing the pink signs everywhere and the marketing that says … the sisterhood will take care of you,” she said. “And as someone in that position where you’re scared, and you are looking for answers somewhere, and you don’t wanna be alone and being so young at the time, that was a very enticing message.”
McAnally described the clinic as being “cold,” “dark,” and smelling of rubbing alcohol.
“They took my money, and they sent me back to this room where … this doctor was going to walk me through everything that was going to happen that day. That’s the consent kind of happened, in that room, and he didn’t know me from Adam. He really didn’t ask about my background and anything medical that’s ever happened,” she recalled.
