Teen suffers “deep depression” after abortion

“When I was 15 I had an abortion. I felt like I had no other choice. I needed to go to school and pursue the rest of my life. The abortion clinic assured me it wasn’t a baby, that it was no big deal, just a simple medical procedure. I knew something was terribly wrong with that. I fell into a deep depression and stayed in my bed for weeks. I didn’t want to do anything… Years went on and there was no one to help me. Nobody wanted to talk about it.”
