From Sam, a postabortion women:
I had to stumble through a system which was not supportive of my emotional needs, and I certainly did not make an informed decision. At no stage did [they] discuss the alternatives, or the procedure, possible effects or how I felt for that matter … This wasn’t really counseling at all, and my guess was it was to satisfy some legal requirement … no professional created an opportunity for me to discuss anything, really … no one that I came across ever said to me, “Why is this happening to you, what is wrong, why have you had more than one abortion, what can we do about it?”
