I thought it would never happen to me. I who has a teenager was naively pro-choice. But it did; at 26, just started a new job in a new city. Had no friends but a man I didn't love who I slept with. I was depressed, lonely confused. My first pregnancy, unwanted, unplanned. No one to help me. Except the nurses at the clinic. They helped me and it was the right choice.
They helped me get help for my depression - which was not caused by the abortion. Rather, the depression had caused an unplanned pregnancy. Three years later, with proper medication, therapy, healthier, happy and in a better relationship I had my first son. Without those services, those non-judgemental workers. I would not be the mother I am today.
