My abortion story: I didn’t think I could ever get pregnant

“I felt overwhelmed with the situation and knew continuing this pregnancy would be a mistake.”

“Four weeks later I feel it was the right decision and am grateful how simple and supportive the treatment was.”

“I am so grateful to live in a country where this care is accessible.”

“I had a place accepted at university which I had struggled for, and carrying on with a pregnancy was completely out of my means.”

“I became pregnant while using contraception, and as soon as my period was late by just one day, I knew.”

“They were nothing but supportive, and there was no judgement whatsoever.”

“Abortion is healthcare.”

“Without services like MSI, I’m not sure where my path would have taken me.”

“They didn’t overly fuss and just got on with their jobs, which reminded me it was a normal thing I was going through.”

“I can honestly say I was treated with the upmost dignity and respect, and I felt so seen and heard with every single member of staff.”
