"After sitting though waiting rooms and what not, I had changed my mind. This was not for me. This was not what I wanted to do. I told the nurse there that I do not want to have an abortion. She proceeded walking me towards the procedure room, and told me, let's talk to the doctor. They sat me down in a chair. As they did, she was sticking me with in the arm with a needle, and when I woke up, I had had an abortion. Before I left there, a nurse then asked me if there was anything she could get for me. I said is it done. She told me yes that it was. I said, 'well yes ma'am, you can get me a gun.' I could not bear to walk out of there."
