A post-abortive woman named Margaret tells her story:
“In September I traveled down with Gerry to this clinic, where I was told, “You are in an unsupported situation and we can help you because you can have an abortion.”
Seeking reassurance, I asked “It’s not a baby, is it?”
“No,” they replied. “It’s just a blob of cells at the moment and the sooner it’s done the better.”
From this moment on, my denial hardened. It couldn’t be a baby, and I was doing the best thing possible for everyone concerned.”
