A woman who had an abortion told her story to a pro-choice author. She says:
“I remember the night, that night after. I don’t know where my boyfriend was. I don’t remember him being in the apartment, but I remember just breaking down and sobbing and sobbing, and that’s when I prayed and was very remorseful. I had that flow of emotions at that time, just that first night, and I was up for half the night. It wasn’t until I met my husband, which was in 1995, that that all came out again, because I told him when we started dating. I guess I kind of just buried it.”
