'The misconception that abortions are easy to get is far from reality.'
who have had abortions to share their experiences. Here are the responses that prove access to reproductive health goes beyond legality and also depends upon location, socioeconomic status, support, privilege, and so much more:"I actually had an abortion in Texas a couple years ago. Living in central Texas, I really only had two options: Waco or Austin. At the time, I had to wait a couple of weeks in order to even be seen, and then I had to wait 48 hours until I could actually have one.
"The morning of my procedure, a woman who worked at my group home followed me around begging me to change my mind and 'save my baby,' warning me I’d be damned to hell. The women at the Planned Parenthood I visited were kind and calming. After my procedure, I remember being wheeled out in a wheelchair to my ride and vomiting near the pro-life protesters. I’m now 31 years old with two wonderful sons and no regrets. If put in the same situation, I’d make the same choice.
"That was 11 years ago. It doesn't affect me too much psychologically, and never did. But every year in July, I still think, 'My potential son would be X years old if I'd had him.""When I was 21, the condom broke on a one night stand. Two weeks later, I was homeless. Two more weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. I had no stable job or place to live, and was in no way capable of providing for an unexpected life after believing I was safe with my sexual choices.
"No one ever mentioned that the drop-off in your hormones can cause depression, so I thought it was just guilt when I felt terrible after. Luckily, I had a good friend who encouraged me to get help and found a doctor who helped me get on medication to deal with the hormonal imbalances and depression. We expend so much energy just fighting against the whittling away of this essential medical treatment, that there's nothing left to normalize providing a full range of treatment after.
