I didn't intend it to, but safe, legal abortion played a huge part in my family planning. I've never had regrets, only relief.

1986 United States

suction aspiration at 5 weeks. took about 5 minutes, mild discomfort, minimal bleeding. staff friendly, supportive.

How did other people react to your abortion?
