She began her story by saying, “I too have battled with the choice but in 2020, when the world was collapsing during the pandemic, I sought an abortion”. Then she went into the details of it: “It was a very private and personal experience — the way it should be. I was lucky enough to have a great doctor to help me through the debilitating process — with their help I am able to be the happy and healthy person I am today.”
She also expressed how sad she is that the option which was once available to her is not available anymore. “In a world that constantly marginalizes females, this feels like the biggest assault of them all,” she concluded. “Banning abortion doesn’t prevent abortions, it prevents safe abortions.”
