From a woman who had two abortions, who says she is pro-choice, but:
“Why then did both my abortions leave me bitter and angry in ways I could not, at the time, understand or explain… For me there seemed to be a contradiction between everything I had ever read or thought about abortion and the lived experience, an enormous gap between the impassioned rhetoric of the political and moral arguments for and against abortion, and the bloody reality of one scared woman screaming on a table.”
K Kaufmann, Test Tube Women, 1984
