My Abortion Story

[yellowdogintexas]

16. I took a friend to KY from Nashville to have a procedure done

She was somewhere between 12 and 16 weeks and did not know for sure because she recently had a D & C for purely medical reasons. Her worthless except for money husband had come home for a long weekend (he worked a day's drive away) and they had sex before the D & C which was scheduled for Monday morning.

She then couldn't get here cycle restored, and the dr who did the D & C gave her all sorts of heavy duty hormones to jumpstart her cycle. Nothing worked, so when she went in for the next exam, he told her she was pregnant. She was in no position financially to have a third child, her youngest was 9, and she was terrified by what the drugs could have done to the fetus.

We found out Louisville was our best bet so we went up there to get the procedure. She was scheduled to have a procedure using an herbal vaginal pack which would dilate her cervix because she was past 12 weeks. Her hypertension excluded her from this procedure.

SO the closest place she could go for a post 16 week procedure was Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta! She had to have an induced labor and was in a ward with other women, some of whom had never been pregnant, were very young, and had no idea what they were in for. All the more mature women, most of whom were mothers, bonded together to comfort these girls and help them get through the day. It was a nightmare but at least it was clean, properly staffed and available.

Now Look at what just happened in Georgia! No question about it, they are coming after us.
