I have had 4 abortions. The abortion pill was the worst. Women need the full story

to

I had four abortions in my life. The first was when I was 15 and it was a surgical abortion. I used the abortion pill for my second abortion at age 19 because my first abortion was traumatic. I thought the pill would be easier, less traumatic for my body and well, it was cheaper than the surgical route. The baby’s father was against the idea and didn’t put any money into it, so overall it seemed like the best option.

But it was not like that. It was one of the most horrible experiences of my life. The abortion clinic told me it was no big deal, that it was easy and private. I was in the first trimester, but I don’t remember how long, probably near the end of those first 12 weeks, as I tended to do things at the last minute. At the clinic they didn’t even do an ultrasound, just a urine test to prove that I was pregnant.

The protocol at the time was to take the first pill, mifepristone, at the clinic and then return home and insert the second pill, misoprostol, vaginally. So that’s what I did.

The bleeding and pain started almost immediately and was intense. The pain lasted for two days and I felt like I was in full labor. I was alone, in one of the bathrooms in my apartment. I was taking drugs just to try to relieve the pain. And in the end, I broke my lease and moved out because I couldn’t stand being in the apartment anymore and experiencing the trauma again every time I used the bathroom.

SUPREME COURT AGREES TO DECLARE ON ACCESS TO THE ABORTION PILL, APPROVAL PROCESS

Years later, after another abortion, I ended up working at that same clinic where I had the abortion with abortion pills. I had to tell women the same things they told me when they asked me for the abortion pill: that it was like a heavy period and it was no big deal. But I received many calls from women who were going through the same intense pain that I went through years before and I felt cheated by the clinic. Why didn’t anyone tell them it would be so bad? Why did they feel like they were dying? Were they dying?

I have since left the abortion industry and my drug-fueled life behind and now work to take workers out of the abortion industry and testify in front of committees and organizations telling my own story. Big pieces are missing in the public fight over access to abortion pills, pills that non-pregnant women in the United States have apparently been hoarding for the past 18 months.

Informed consent is a legal loophole that goes unnoticed. No one believes that informed consent is a bad thing, yet the pro-abortion argument boils down to a terrible view: that women are not capable of understanding all the information they need to receive about abortion and the use of abortion pills. . so there is no reason to bog them down with excessive information about the risks and potential harm that could be caused. However, any of those same women who are contemplating a hysterectomy or tonsillectomy or any other procedure will have a long discussion about the possible side effects and negative consequences.

The reality is that women are capable of making an informed decision if they have all the information in a way they can understand, such as a study that showed that abortion pills are four times more dangerous than a surgical abortion in the first trimester. But abortion clinics and abortion pill manufacturers don’t want to take that risk because women could make a decision that doesn’t benefit the clinics or pill makers financially.

The other big piece missing from this conversation is the reality of the abortion pill and its side effects. Women looking for real stories need to sift through the #shoutyourabortion nonsense to find women to tell their stories about the realities of the abortion pill.

A social media influencer not long ago revealed her experience with the abortion pill. She goes through all the emotions when making the decision and tells viewers that she was sobbing as she held the first pill because she knew it would stop her baby from growing.

He said this was the worst pain he had ever felt and said, “I feel like this is something I’m going to grieve for my whole life.” Her comments were varied: some people supported her and others condemned her to hell. But many of her comments thanked him for telling her story because they went through something similar and felt very alone.

More than half of abortions in this country are performed using the abortion pill. These women deserve the full truth about how the medication works, what kind of damage they may suffer physically, mentally and emotionally, and where they can turn for help. They need to know that they are not alone, that millions of women are in similar situations and that there is absolute help for them.

No one should feel the need to stockpile abortion pills at home. I hate that women feel like they need to do this. The options are huge for women facing unplanned pregnancies – there are thousands of pregnancy centers across the country and helplines like Loveline that can quickly get women the help they need. There are adoption agencies, free pregnancy resources, you name it.

I would not wish any of my abortion procedures on anyone, especially the abortion pill experience. I felt like I was walking through hell.

Women don’t deserve that.
