The hosts of Fox News' The Five lobbed a series of attacks against Emily Letts, a woman who filmed her own abortion and wrote about her experience in Cosmopolitan, going so far as to claim she had committed “some sort of genocide.”

On May 6, the Fox hosts speculated that she had orchestrated her pregnancy and abortion as a “publicity stunt.” Greg Gutfeld said Letts “clearly needs help” while Andrea Tantaros described Letts as “deeply disturbed” and asked if her employer had considered giving her a “psychological exam.” Eric Bolling took it a step further, likening her abortion to having committed “some sort of genocide”:

Letts, an abortion counselor at a New Jersey clinic, filmed her own abortion in order to erase some of the stigma and falsehoods that surround the procedure. In an op-ed for Cosmopolitan, Letts explained that she opted for a surgical abortion in order to combat misinformation and show others what the procedure really looks like:

I searched the Internet, and I couldn't find a video of an actual surgical procedure in the clinic that focused on the woman's experience. We talk about abortion so much and yet no one really knows what it actually looks like. A first trimester abortion takes three to five minutes. It is safer than giving birth. There is no cutting, and risk of infertility is less than 1 percent. Yet women come into the clinic all the time terrified that they are going to be cut open, convinced that they won't be able to have kids after the abortion. The misinformation is amazing, but think about it: They are still willing to sacrifice these things because they know that they can't carry the child at this moment.
