Pro-choice author Jennifer Baumgardner, who started the “I Had an Abortion” T-shirt campaign, let a woman who had had a medical abortion (by pill) tell her story in her book Abortion & Life:
“As for the actual abortion, I was just lying on my bed, trying to read, when the cramping came on. It was one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever been through. I just felt like my insides were tearing themselves apart. I felt so alone and I didn’t know what to do. At a certain point, I passed out from the pain.”
Jennifer Baumgardner “Abortion & Life” (New York, NY: Akashic Books, 2008) p 117
