When I went into the clinic, there were maybe 7 other women in the waiting room with me. We were all silent for the first few minutes, but then we all started to talk. I was 20, they were between 16 and 50. One of them already had two kids. We all talked about our circumstances and it helped me realize abortion is just a part of life. When we finally got called in, the youngest one said “you are a group of strong, independent women, and I admire all of you.”
