Abortion Hurts …

My 28-year-old live-in boyfriend was furious when he discovered I was pregnant. He immediately demanded that I have an abortion or he would kick me out. I turned to my employer for advice. After I told her about my situation, she recommended abortion. She said it was the only logical option and offered to arrange one for me.
My experience at the abortion clinic was painful and humiliating—nothing like I’d imagined when I defended a woman’s “right to choose.” Although the young women awaiting their abortions were anxious and tearful, the clinic staff was cold and aloof.
