I had a no-shame medication abortion. I felt relieved, being in good hands, safe.
I wanted to deal with this in me, myself. I could do this. I feel good now.
I feel that every woman has to have a choice.
Abortion is hard for everyone, for this or that reason, I think we can agree. To do it in the safety of your home, beside your loved ones, gives you positiveness, strength and empowers you in many ways. No shame at all.
I had an abortion once before, in a hospital. I felt I will not survive the shame and depressive feelings that were planted in me by hospital staff.
After that abortion, I was put into a room were there was a woman who gave birth 2 days ago and was feeding her baby. Please try to imagine the feeling. I was feeling guilty and bad for over a year because of the abortion.
My medication abortion was illegal, but that did not affect my feelings. Actually, I feel that it was a type of freedom.
People who knew about my abortion were surprised and did not know that this could be done at home, too.
