One of the members of Feministing’s community in a comment posted on July 28 2008:
“I made an appointment at Planned Parenthood and scheduled it for Friday, December 17th; I will never forget that day. I looked more and more information up about the baby and that it had a heart beat and what it would look like and so forth and I shared this information with my boyfriend. I asked him what he thought about me keeping the baby and he said “I would resent you and I wouldn’t see us together in the future”…..
So from 8 AM until 7PM I had contractions. It felt like my insides were being torn out. I would fall asleep and be awaked [sic] by this horrible pain….
He decided to get a tattoo of a black rose on his arm and told me that it represented the abortion. I was infuriated. It’s much easier to scar your skin than to scar your soul and sadly my scar will never fade. I will always remember how alone I was, how he didn’t care how selfish he was and how he gave me a choice and I chose him.
It’s been four years now, and this august I would have had a 3 year old, so every time august rolls around or December I get very emotional about what happened.”
