I had an abortion and I'm not ashamed
2009 Australien (född i Australia)
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.

I feel grateful that in this day and age, women in Australia have access to a legal and safe abortion.
Hur reagerade andra på din abort?
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.
