I am so very very grateful to live in Washington state and have access to a safe, legal, FREE abortion. (If you can’t afford an abortion you can’t afford a kid). I found myself stretched to the max with life (a 4 and 6 year old and work, friends, family etc) and fucking pregnant when I didn’t want to be. I was a victim of stealthing. And it sucked. I got morning sickness, my breasts ached. I found out I was pregnant when I went to get screened at Planned Parenthood after being stealthed and the thought of pregnancy had barely crossed my mind. I didn’t even know the medical assistant was testing for that. When she came in to tell me, she asked if I was ok and if I had any thoughts about what I wanted to do. I knew immediately and got a referral. When I went to my appointment when they did the procedure I was so early in my pregnancy they weren’t sure they were going to be able to locate the embryo. The fear I wasn’t going to walk out not pregnant was so fucking real. Fuck. I could have kissed the tech when she found it. The procedure was slightly more painful then I thought. But the tech held my hand and counted down until it was over. I was shown so much kindness that day.
