I had an abortion and I'm not ashamed

2009 Austrália (nascido em Australia)

serena decidida apática aliviada feliz normal

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.

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.

A ilegalidade de seu aborto afetou seus sentimentos?

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

Como as outras pessoas reagiram ao seu 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.
