“My previous abortion helped me prepare better this time around, and it was a pleasant experience. I had a fantastic obstetrician supporting my decision. I hired an abortion doula and tasked my husband with caring for our daughter. My daughter was in the room while I had an abortion, playing with my husband and her toys. I was in a tub of warm water, watching Grey’s Anatomy and eating a sandwich through the pain while my doula supported me emotionally and physically.” Read more.

“We still weren't ready to have a child. I had to go back to the clinic, but I went to a different town because I felt embarrassed that it happened again and that, again, I'm still not ready.

We are married and now getting ready to take the IUD out and plan for a family.

“She was astonished and outraged that her insurance would pay for the procedure for one scenario but not the other. That they would wait for this heartbeat to stop, too, before covering the procedure, while her health risks continued to increase as the pregnancy continues further. I appealed to the insurance company but was denied as the company does not cover “that procedure.” Click the green title to read more.
