I was 21, and nowhere near ready or willing to carry and birth a child because of a chemical error.

Everyone at the clinic was very kind. The abortion itself was painful for about 3 minutes, and it took me 10-15 minutes with a hot pad and some sugar to recover enough to drive home, but overall as easy as it really could be.
How did other people react to your abortion?
Of those who know about it, overwhelming support. My boyfriend praised my grace and strength, my mother was proud of my ability to stand up for what was best for me.
