I accessed an abortion 25 years ago. Back then things were different. I had to sign a document saying I was mentally unfit to go through with the pregnancy or that I was physically incapable. I remember thinking, “but neither applies.”

I was in another country. I had no housing security or job security and my partner at the time had zero interest in becoming a parent. I couldn’t bring myself to sign the form and waited another week wrestling with my guilt in seeking an abortion. Two weeks later I finally signed it and had a surgical termination. I remember the sonographer’s face. She barely looked at me. I felt so ashamed.
