Said one woman whose partner pushed her into having an abortion:
“I told the doctor and nurse I couldn’t go through with it before the abortion started and the doctor told me I’d be okay. What a lie! I didn’t have the courage to get up and leave. I let that man vacuum out my baby in pieces. The actual abortion was so awful… Very painful, traumatic, and violence. I was further along than 12 weeks the doctor was really angry at me. I remember the “recovery room” – a dingy, depressing room full of nasty recliners. As I tried to pull myself together the lady next to me started chatting: this was her fourth abortion…. I had to get out of there that minute! Brian drove me home. We didn’t say much.
Not a day goes by that I don’t regret my choice! It’s been over 20 years, more than 10,000 days! What I would give to live that they over again and choose life for my baby. Abortion is forever and we don’t get do overs.”
