I had an abortion and I do not regret my choice. It is very important to me to remove the stigma

Quels étaient vos sentiments au sujet de faire l'avortement / s?

Égoïste Déterminée Soulagée Confiante Heureuse stupide Honteuse Sûre Coupable Triste

I could have clicked just about every box here. I felt such a range of emotion around my choice. I so badly regret getting into the situation, not the abortion itself. I felt guilty, I felt sad, I felt shame but above all else I felt relief, I felt sure of my decision, I felt so thankful that it was MY choice
