I had my first abortion in 1978. I was alone and scared. I had met a cute guy waiting for my car to be fixed, and one thing led to another. ... I was running late for our date and did not have time to stop at the drugstore. Sound familiar?
By the time I realized I was pregnant he was long gone back to his job in another state. I immediately found a clinic not too far from my home and
went and did it before I had too much tme to dwell upon it. I was incredibly depressed after the procedure but I realized later on that it was not the procedure but the drugs that caused the reaction.
The second time I needed an abortion was out in california where I had a more natural procedure (the reason I did not want the baby was because I was not in love with the father; also, he was a heavy acid-dropper and I was afraid of chromosome damage. I later learned that was a fallacy). It was totally drug free this time; they just used some laudunum to numb the area, and though the procedure hurt a bt more during, there was NO depression afterwards. Also it was much cheaper. I highly recommend this type of abortion to the medical type.
I am sick to death of all the "pro-lifer" types claiming the high ground! It is really sickening. There is nothing "moral" about bringing a child into the world that you don't want, or giving it up for adoption to people who might be abusers or sick in some other way! I think these people should get a clue and get a life. If they're all queer for kids, let them help the ones that are already here! We need much better schools, parks and drug programs.
