A woman named Delinda wrote about having an abortion:
“I found myself pregnant in a very unstable situation and at the time thought it was the best option for me and the baby.
I went to a rundown clinic in Nashville. I was disturbed about the things that went on inside this clinic. The environment was relaxed and almost comical.
Loud music blaring, and no remorse or compassion for the girls who were waiting to make this life-altering decision…
It was quick and a little painful, but mostly a fog in my memory. I remember letting out one crying gasp afterwards and that was it…
I chose to pretend it didn’t happen because if it didn’t happen, I could live with myself. Because of this, I went further in my addiction and became more detached from life and who I was.
My ability to love had also dissipated, and honestly, I didn’t think I would ever know how to love again.”
