I was 23 and working for my stepdad.

I was nervous the night before. More nervous than I had ever been.

I had my surgical abortion on sweetest day, 2015.

I will not apologize for my abortion. I am not ashamed. I know without a doubt that my choice was the right choice for me.

I was 21 years old and so happy to be making my own way in the world.

I'm from Canada. 24 years old, and I had an abortion today. I am writing this for anyone who may be scared of the procedure - I know I was terrified.
