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

2001 Canada (ඉපදුනේ Canada)

What were your feelings about doing the abortion/s?

selfish resolved relieved confident happy stupid ashamed sure guilty sad

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

How did you do the abortion?

in a clinic or hospital with surgery

What was your situation at this time?

financial issues my education my age (too young or old) my personal reasons for not wanting a child

I was couch surfing at the time. I was 19, had no education or any realistic prospects of decent income. I was not in a relationship with the would-be father. I just knew it was the clear choice for me
