UNITED KINGDOM, August 22, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — Twitter lit up over the weekend with #twowomentravel — a hashtag chronicling an unidentified woman’s trip from Ireland to Great Britain for an abortion.

The woman, who was accompanied by a friend, live-tweeted the experience to advocate for a repeal of Ireland’s Eighth Amendment protecting the right of unborn children to live.

Although the women tweeted photos of blood-stained sheets and the abortion facility waiting room, their account of the abortion lacked a lot of details about, well, the actual abortion.

There were no photos of the abortionist’s instruments.

There were no photos of the tiny human being whose body was ripped apart — no photos of what she looked like in the womb, no photos of what she looked like after being suctioned out of her mother’s uterus.

Other than the acknowledgement that the abortion resulted in “pain,” most of the tweeted details were about logistics or thanking pro-abortion supporters for their encouragement. 

The women tweeted some lyrics from a song titled “Confessional (Give Me Sodomy or Give Me Death)”:

Ironically, those lyrics are quite similar to words the biblical figure Job spoke in frustration, essentially arguing that God treats the just and the unjust in the same way: “If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent” (Job 9:23).

Many interpret Job’s words as his temporary aggravation at God for seemingly slaying the innocent and laughing at them. But Job’s ultimate position was one of hope: “I know that my redeemer liveth” (Job 19:25). 

Who is more innocent here than the pre-born baby?
