When I was 24 years old, I unexpectedly found out that I was pregnant. I was scared. I wasn't married, and I wasn't prepared to be a mom.
I started grasping for answers and searching for help. My boyfriend wanted me to end my pregnancy. I didn't want to. I didn't think it was right. But he pressured me to make an appointment at a local abortion facility.
When we arrived at the facility, we went back into the examination room and the doctor was really hesitant to show me my ultrasound. Without talking to me or sharing with me what the drugs might do, he gave me the first abortion drug mifepristone and left.
The staff then gave me a couple of pieces of paper to sign. There was no time to read the papers. There was no counseling. There were no private conversations. There was no guidance as to any sort of side effects that the drugs would have on my body.
They just gave me a bag with the second drug I was supposed to take at home. There was no talk of a follow-up visit with the doctor - not even a phone appointment. After I was given the drugs, and they got my money, my case was closed.
