thank u for sharing your experience. i recently had an abortion. after much thought i decided it was the best thing 4 me to do. im 20 yrs old, with little money and little support. my boyfriend was semi supportive, i cant blame him though. the morning i went in2 the clinic i was harassed by a protester who showed me a picture of a fetus, that was a horrible thing 2 see. i kept walking and checked in. they had an abortion planned every 6 minutes, i didnt believe it. they were very quick and uncaring, i know u have to be if u work in a clinic, but i couldve used a smile. it was almost like an assembly line, one after the other. they lifted me up and put a pair of underwear on me and had me walk 2 the recovery room. other girls there seemed terrified and relieved but mostly scared. i sat there crying 4 about a half hr then got dressed and left only 2 be greeted by the protester who followed me across the street. my mother just took my hand and kept walking. 2 weeks have gone by and it finally hit that i terminated a pregnancy, my baby is gone and ill never b the same again. ive been very moody and depressed, keeping alot 2 myself and crying alot. i dont think ill ever totally heal. if i just had the money 2 raise a child.... but its over. nothing i can do. people tell me to just get over it, they dont understand what ive been thru, and many others have been thru. i guess im just looking 4 sum1 to help me get thru this and 2 share their experience with. thank u
