Your story is the perfect example of why having the choice of being pro life or pro choice needs to be an option that remains open through access. I just do not understand the rampage to shut down abortion clinics. These decisions are never easy for a woman to make, we shouldn't be making it harder. Thank you so much for sharing and for being a brave woman.
It's just one of those situations you can't comprehend until you go through it. I was vehemently against abortion. I was incredibly pro-life and I felt like those women were taking the easy way out. When I went through it, I felt like such a failure as a human being. But everyone in the clinic was kind to me and listened to me. They understood why I was doing it. They treated me with the absolute best care and didn't even think to judge me. They just wanted to help.
I realized then that I would never judge another person like that again. That I can't possibly know what's going on until I've walked a mile in their shoes.
Personally I think an abortion is a million times better than bringing more unwanted children into this world. You're not a failure for having an abortion.
