The internet is a buzz with the sickening video of abortion clinic counselor Emily Letts filming of her own abortion, i.e. killing her unborn child. Letts is an abortion counselor at the Cherry Hill Women's Center abortion clinic in New Jersey.

After the abortion, Emily Letts says on the video, "I don't feel like a bad person. I feel in awe of the fact that I can make a baby; I can make a life. I knew what I was going to do is right, cause it was right for me and no one else. "

Watch her abortion video below:

After Emily received her "claim to fame" CNN's Dr. Drew on Call interviewed her.

The CNN panel included pro-choice women who scolded Emily, a supposed wise abortion counselor, for using abortion as a form of birth control.

Letts replies, "I did not have a single partner, I was not in a relationship…to be honest lets not talk about the fact that hormonal birth control can be very scarey to women. It can be very scary to put hormones in your body."

The CNN panel then asks, "What's so scary about a condom?"

Abortion counselor Letts replies, "Completely. And my question is have you ever done anything in your life that you- that was a mistake? Have you ever smoked a cigarette have you ever ran a red light? Have you ever done something that you knew there was consequences and then you said WOW, that was probably not the most intellectual decision I made. You learn from it and you move forward. During the "procedure" I got an IUD inserted..I just don't understand why people are trying to bash me on this? I like, I've admitted that, hey, we all make mistakes, this is the point: empathy. Let's talk about empathy… ."

ABORTION VID IS SELF-SERVING

Another pro-choice female CNN panelist then responds, "I am proud of you for making the decision that you thought was right. Its probably best for the CHILD that you weren't, it didn't seem like you were ready to have a child but you were ready to have sex and you were ready to have an abortion. To me, it seems that you are trivializing something that's really traumatic for a lot of people. Think you're helping them. You are helping them you work in an abortion clinic so you're already helping people. I don't think going viral – putting a video out there – is doing anything. Cause I feel like its self-serving. But I want to know, what about women who get raped? What about women who get raped and have an abortion and they're watching you go Ohh…cool..yeah?"

TRIVIALIZING BIRTH?

The next pro-choice CNN female panelist asked Emily Letts if she was trivializing giving birth when she compared abortion to a birth-like process?

Emily Letts responded, "I would say that, I have studied birth…so I support women through their birth procedures, birth procedures, I'm sorry, their birth experience. And so, the thing about birth is that it is personal it is sacred it is yours. And and that you need to be supported. It should be something that you craft with like having someone whomever you want in the room with you. And so, that's what I did, that's what I meant by this [abortion] was as birth-like as possible. I was supported 360 degrees by women who held my hand. Who said like you're strong and you're beautiful. And you are making the best decision for your life. And we trust you because you trust yourself.. I still have a relationship with my body and my pregnancy. And that's the thing, like, you can't tell me that I'm trivializing it because you're not me."
