I had an abortion and I do not regret my choice. It is very important to me to remove the stigma

2001 Canada (geboren in Canada)

egoistisch opgelucht verlicht overtuigd gelukkig stom beschaamd zeker schuldig verdrietig

I could have clicked just about every box here. I felt such a range of emotion around my choice. I so badly regret getting into the situation, not the abortion itself. I felt guilty, I felt sad, I felt shame but above all else I felt relief, I felt sure of my decision, I felt so thankful that it was MY choice

in een kliniek of ziekenhuis met chirurgie (zuigcurretage)

financiele situatie mijn opleiding mijn leeftijd (te jong of te oud) mijn persoonlijke reden waarom in geen kind wilde

I was couch surfing at the time. I was 19, had no education or any realistic prospects of decent income. I was not in a relationship with the would-be father. I just knew it was the clear choice for me

Had de illegaliteit van je abortus invloed op je gevoelens?

no, I would have made the same choice. It just would have been much less safe

Hoe reageerden andere mensen op je abortus?

I was lucky enough to have support from all who knew me and what was going on

ik heb geen kinderen
