I put my co-pay and a small donation on my credit card. It's a lot less than I thought I'd have to pay. I'm relieved, since I have student fees and rent coming up. More waiting. I get very hungry. I wish I had eaten breakfast before coming. I look over the pamphlet and discover NuvaRing. It sounds great and so much more convenient than the Pill. My regular doctor had not mentioned it. I had no idea there was something so easy available. I'm excited to get started with that right away.
Three hours after first arriving, it's finally time. I'm led to a bathroom and told to empty my bladder and put a pad in my underwear. I'm then led to another room where I strip from the waist down and lie on a table. I realize that I'm not even nervous. I feel a little awkward lying on a table with no pants, but nothing too bad. The doctor comes in, introduces himself, and shakes my hand. A woman stands next to me and starts some small talk. It gets my mind off what's going on. I barely feel a thing at first. The woman next to me warns I'll soon hear the vaccuum turn on and feel some cramping. It was still a bit surprising to feel cramps so suddenly. It is uncomfortable, but not painful. More small talk. She's a cat person but her apartment won't allow them. I sympathize.
Finally, I hear the machine shut off, and the woman next to me says it is hopefully over. The doctor confirms. All the important parts have been removed. I'm done.
The doctor reminds me of the importance of scheduling a follow-up exam before leaving the room. As soon as I sit up, the cramps get a lot better. I get dressed and go into the recovery room. I'm still hungry, and a little cold, but am feeling pretty good. The cramps aren't that bad, and I'm relieved to have the procedure done.
I tell the woman I have decided on the NuvaRing. We discuss that and go over my aftercare. 7 days of antibiotics. No sex, tampons, or lifting over twenty pounds for two weeks. Nothing I can't handle. I'm reminded once more to make an appointment for a follow-up exam in three to four weeks. I get a small brown bag with papers describing everything I was told about, a bottle of antibiotics, and my first NuvaRing. Another woman checks my blood pressure and temperature again. My blood pressure has come back down.
I'm hungry, and I want a nap, but I'm feeling good about my decision, and relieved that it's over. My roommate takes me for lunch and drops me off at home before heading into work. I'm hardly bleeding at all.
I talk to my mom on the phone a few hours later. I lie and say that nothing's new in my life. I know she wouldn't approve, but I also know she's not ready to be a grandmother yet.
Feb. 7: After a few days of just light spotting, it's starting to feel like a period flow. I haven't used pads in over ten years. It feels strange.
I make the appointment for my follow-up exam. It will be on February 25, exactly three weeks after the procedure. They'll make sure there were no complications, and I'll get the chance to buy more NuvaRings.
Walking home from the store, I hear a baby wailing through an apartment window on my street. I chuckle to myself and think how happy I am that won't be my window later this year.
To simply say "I'm not sorry" or "I don't regret it" is not strong enough. Having an abortion was the best decision I ever made. I'm glad I did it, and I'm 100% confident that I made the right choice for myself, my lover, and our situation. It's not right for everyone, but it was right for me, and I'll do everything in my power to make sure every woman has the opportunity to decide if it is right for her without legislation making that decision for her.
Any pregnancy will change your life, whether you have the baby or not. It should be up to us how we let it change us.

She is still young. She may regret this later.
Many of the people do not know God. They don't know Scripture. They wander around. They won't go near a church. Jesus Christ lived in the fringes of society and certainly the church. It was there he met with the people. So should we.
No human that kills an innocent, especially a defenseless baby, has any happiness in their life. They may put on a convincing act, but it is a sham. They are either dead or dying inside.
I really wish that this was fictional because I can't believe that someone could make such vacuous and amoral comments about having an abortion.
This is either totally fabricated, or she is in denial. I don't sense the same thing I did in the article where I descibed the author as a murderous bitch.
"I feel sorry for this woman. She's either pitiful or evil."
Why, she is a little bit selfish, that's all. (Assuming the story has not been invented by that guy they kicked out of NYT). There are so many selfish people around, that I'd save both pity and indignation for really important cases.

I'm thinking she's evil.
I'm also skeptical. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that this was written by someone in the abortion industry, probably a man, who is trying to convince us (and himself) that this is the normal reaction of a woman who has an abortion.
Knowing Scripture isn't essential. The thief hanging to the right of Jesus didn't know a lick of Scripture, but he joined the Lord Jesus Christ in Paradise that very same day. And he wasn't required to be baptised or do a good work.
????? At a loss for where her sympathy lies.
If you found this one revolting, read the one about "selective reproduction" is was posted here last week. I wanted to take a shower after reading it..
If I knew someone in the FBI, I would alert them to this site. Anyone who could write this kind of bilge, fiction or no, is capable of serial murder.
Wonder if these were her thoughts (moments) prior to preparing for intercourse? /sarcasm.
"Right to Life" is not all that embraced by our culture, and can be ignored as a political movement. This is the ugliness of what our culture has become.
Knowing Scripture isn't essential, but it could have been one link to God's value of life before time began.
And... Christ forgives. It is because of Him that the girl has a chance at all. That is where our hope is. He can and does transform the worst of sinners.
yeah, like the ex-lax finally worked.
The child is lucky , --it doesnt have this woman for a mother, If you believe in rebirth perhaps this child can be reborn to a real mother, one who will love and care for it, This woman is only interested in having sex with her lover.What a pig.
c4l says, ... she should have been given a complete hysterectomy during that murderous procedure to prevent her from killing anymore babies in the future ...
reminds me of when I was a teenager back in the 70s, I heard my dad say any woman who gets an abortion should have her tubes tied at the same time.
