Reason for the abortion:
I didn't want a child at this stage in my life. There were still many things that me and my partner wanted to do, that we wouldn't be able to do with a child.

How did you feel about your abortion experience?
I felt like I’d totally lost control of my body when I was pregnant. I am confident I made the right decision. Unfortunately, the way I was dealt with reinforced the idea of abortion being a taboo. A health worker warned me I could loose friends if I told people and another urged me to reconsider for 2 wks, even though I was sure 100% sure.Women should feel they can talk about abortion openly; it's our bodies and our lives, noone else should be able to judge or pressurise us.
