Randi, who had an abortion:
“It physically affected me a lot. I got really sick from it. I was looking for a job and I was run down during the summer and so I just felt really drained and exhausted by all that and then following that I got pelvic inflammatory disease and a bladder infection and a kidney infection that were all complicated by each other and laid me out for a couple of months. I had very severe cramps for a while…
I thought about it more selfishly. I thought about in terms of myself.”
