Carmen

Everyone was compassionate and gave me their love. Only one friend accused me of wrongdoing, everyone else affirmed they could never judge me.

I had anesthetics. It was a quick procedure and the doctor and clinic were very supportive.

I was not ready to have a child in that period of my life nor with that partner. I knew from the first second that it was not right for me.

Even though to this day I do not regret it, as I know it was the right thing to do, I lived my abortion as a spiritual, moral, emotional and intellectual ordeal. I felt it as extremely painful to go through it, it is in essence very very sad, but I could never, ever judge another woman, as I ultimately believe it is my sole right to decide, even though it is the most abyssmally tough decision I could imagine.
