i was 25 and in a committed relationship. the condom broke on saturday night. i don’t know if you could get plan b over the counter\u00a0in 2001 but if you could i didn’t know about it, so i waited until planned parenthood opened on monday. the pill didn’t work. i think it would have if i had been able to access it sooner. we were both sure we weren’t ready for a child and i was pretty sure i never would be.<\/p>\n
i scheduled my abortion and went to the clinic with my boyfriend and my best friend. before the procedure they did a vaginal ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy. this was honestly the worst part of the procedure. it felt violating. as things turned out there was no heartbeat. the fetus wasn’t viable.<\/p>\n
instead of having a painful and potentially dangerous miscarriage at an unknown time when i might have been alone and frightened; i had a safe procedure in a comfortable setting accompanied by people who loved me.<\/p>\n
although the fetus wasn’t viable, my decision to abort would have been the same. i am very thankful that i lived in a time and place that allowed me to get the medical attention i needed and wanted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
