I had an abortion and I'm not ashamed

2009 Ausztrália (született Australia)

peaceful resolved numb relieved happy as usual sure

As this was my first abortion I felt a little nervous and maybe a bit scared. But it isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be... It was A LOT easier than I expected and I felt a lot of relief afterward. Women have the right to choose.

in a clinic or hospital with surgery

I had a surgical abortion, the pain was similar to that of period pain... It was very quick and convenient.

financial issues my education my age (too young or old) problems with my relationship my personal reasons for not wanting a child mental health reasons

There were a lot of reasons for my decision, on top of all that... It just didn't feel right. It wasn't the right time and that's OK.

Vajon az abortuszod törvénytelensége befolyásolta-e az érzéseidet?

I feel grateful that in this day and age, women in Australia have access to a legal and safe abortion.

Hogyan reagáltak mások az abortuszodra?

My family aren't religious, so they were fine about it - My mum had an abortion when she was younger too. My friends and family were overall mostly supportive of my decision.
