From a woman who had an abortion by induction (induced labor) after her baby was shown to have a defect:
“It was like we were in a tunnel and there was only one way out. I just didn’t think I had any choice but to go with what was suggested. I don’t understand why they didn’t discuss all the options. I don’t think that we thought of the consequences of what we were doing. I went in to have the baby induced – that was the word used. It didn’t register with us that they were going to terminate the pregnancy.”
