CEBU, Philippines - In the third installment of the I-Witness’ Black Market Special, Kara David presents a shocking documentary on the growing abortion industry in the internet. Kara discovers that aside from abortion drugs being sold online, appointments with abortionists can now be made easily via chat rooms and websites.
Kara meets “Peter,” not his real name, who admits that his girlfriend “Alice” underwent an abortion through a website that carries out abortion procedures. “Peter” divulges the whole process in detail of how they made the online transaction.
After exchanging cell phone numbers with an “agent,” the couple was given a schedule for the abortion procedure. “Peter” and “Alice” were brought to a house in the middle of a squatters’ area in Quezon City. Inside, they discovered that aside from them, there were other girls scheduled for an abortion that day.
A few hours after the abortion, “Alice” was still bleeding. “Peter” decided to bring her to the hospital, and there they discovered that Alice’s abortion was unsuccessful. Mangled fragments of the aborted fetus were found inside her womb. Kara follows the couple as they file a complaint in NBI against the abortionist.
Award-winning journalist Kara David exposes this high tech abortion trade scheme in her documentary exposé “Abortion Online,” airing this midnight on I-Witness over GMA-7.
