I worked for an early term abortion clinic./womens health center we did not conduct any abortions over 10 weeks gestation.., I helped counsel the patients who came in and assessing if they are being coerced/ coaxed/abused or threatened to get an abortion or if they expressed any doubt by law we sent them home and they could not come back for 48 hours to think it over. can assure you the people that came in there were devastated, some were raped, some have a non viable pregnancy, some found out they have agressive cancer and cannot continue the pregnancy due to radiation/chemo, some simply cannot afford it, birth control failed, bad marriages, bad families, too young. Way too many times I was in the room holding their hand so they werent alone during the process, hugged them and let them know it's okay.
There was even a court ordered abortion for a 14 year old who was raped by her Father..
These people werent skipping in the door and taking this lightly.. these women and men hurt but they know what is best and who is anyone to tell them they cannot make decisions based on what is best for all involved. I dont regret anyone I helped not one bit. Fuck anyone who thinks they can tell someone what they can and cannot with their own body.
