I had an abortion and I'm not ashamed

2009 Australia (பிறந்தார் Australia)

What were your feelings about doing the abortion/s?

As this was my first abortion I felt a little nervous and maybe a bit scared. But it isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be... It was A LOT easier than I expected and I felt a lot of relief afterward. Women have the right to choose.

How did you do the abortion?

I had a surgical abortion, the pain was similar to that of period pain... It was very quick and convenient.

What was your situation at this time?

There were a lot of reasons for my decision, on top of all that... It just didn't feel right. It wasn't the right time and that's OK.

உங்கள் கருக்கலைப்பு சட்டவிரோதமானது உங்கள் உணர்வுகளை பாதித்ததா?

I feel grateful that in this day and age, women in Australia have access to a legal and safe abortion.

உங்கள் கருக்கலைப்புக்கு மற்றவர்கள் எவ்வாறு பதிலளித்தனர்?

My family aren't religious, so they were fine about it - My mum had an abortion when she was younger too. My friends and family were overall mostly supportive of my decision.

Do you have children?

What is your religion?

A tal história do “ engravidei por acidente” é real!
