Amanda WebsterIf pregnancy is a gift, I'd like to make a return.
Year of abortion:
2008
Country of abortion:
I actually was a volunteer at Planned Parenthood. I took the time to befriend a few pro lifers. When I learned I was pregnant, I went to two "crisis pregnancy centers" as you can read about in my story. I was very negatively judged by the whole crowd even when I tried to be open minded and reach out to them for help(no big surprise there.) I was told since I volunteered that I wasn't deserving of their help. My boyfriend wanted it, but held my hand through the procedure. The few friends that knew were very supportive of my decision, as they understood my circumstances.
Type of abortion: in a clinic or hospital with surgery
I'm not going to lie, it wasn't the best feeling in the world. It was 8 minutes of pain, but not the most excruciating I've ever felt, and DEFINITELY not comparable to hours of labor.
Reason for abortion: financial issues, my education, physical health reasons, problems with my relationship, my personal reasons for not wanting a child, mental health reasons

Feelings about abortion: others, comfortable, peaceful, trapped, resolved, relieved, confident, angry, confused, sure, sad
My feelings were pretty conflicted. A part of me wanted to continue the pregnancy, but I knew it wasn't what was right.

Children: i have no children
