“I used this moment as a ground zero for my future.”
In this story, a client shares their abortion story, and how their positive experience helped them to build a new path in life, including deciding to apply for university.
From the very moment I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted and needed a termination.
The nurses who saw me through the difficult experience were kind and professional. They didn’t overly fuss and just got on with their jobs, which reminded me it was a normal thing I was going through – an everyday occurrence which they helped people with.
“I decided to apply to university.”
This is a key life moment for me, at a time where I had no permanent address, no friends, no family, I was very depressed and generally unsettled in my life.
I used this moment as a ground zero for my future.
While I was going through the procedure, I decided to apply for university, which I did, successfully, and there started a new path in my life.
“I am grateful for the access I had”
The building was clean and comfortable, and I felt safe.
It was still a really hard thing for me to go through, and I hope I never have to repeat it – but if I had to, I would.
I’m grateful for the access I had to the abortion service, and I am grateful for its existence for others.
