Did the illegality of your abortion affect your feelings?

Yes and No. It was just not the right time to be pregnant and something that had to be done. I was living in Dubai at that time. Being pregnant without being married is a big crime and leads to jail and deportation.

How did other people react to your abortion?

Supportive

illegal
