Lucie

I had more than one abortions. I made the choices because I care about the greater good. I felt that I could not provide for a child under my circumstances and I was supported by the father. It was not an easy decision to make but I do not regret it and I would make the same decision again.

I had feelings of guilt and I was ashamed to tell anyone. But in the end I knew I made the right decision. I am very at peace now and I want others to know that this doesn't define you as less of a person.

I was treated with dignity and was not judged at the clinic so that eased the decision. I was able to abort at home and that was also very helpful.
