I had an abortion and I'm not ashamed

2009 Australia (nato/a a Australia)

Paisible Déterminée engourdi Soulagée Heureuse Normale Sûre

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.

par chirurgie dans une clinique ou un hôpital

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

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.

L'illegalità del suo aborto ha influenzato i suoi sentimenti?

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

Come hanno reagito le altre persone al suo aborto?

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.
