Fortunately, her relationship with the older man had ended, but she still felt protective of him and did not want to get him in trouble.<\/p>\n<p>She also spoke of her fear of the potential \u201chumiliation and shame I would feel as the youngest person in my family; the immature one, incapable of making decisions or even avoiding an unwanted pregnancy.\u201d She never told her parents or her family about her pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>She dismissed the idea of adoption, feeling that she \u201ccouldn\u2019t live with it hanging over [her] head for the rest of [her] life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, before the abortion, she had a strong sense that her preborn baby was a girl. This feeling did not stop her from having an abortion. She said that she thought abortion would be easy.\u00a0When she had the ultrasound at the abortion facility, she refused to look at it: \u201cI wanted to know nothing about my ultrasound\u2026 The ultrasound confirmed that I was within the time limit to take the abortion pill, and that&#8217;s all I&#8217;ll ever know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lRDnVSMr5j0\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She described screaming in pain during her abortion:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>I took the first dose yesterday, followed by horrible nausea, and the second dose earlier today, when it was time.

I&#8217;m thankful no one was home, because I was screaming like I never have before with each aggressive squeeze i felt.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But seeing her baby was the most traumatic thing. They did not prepare her at the abortion facility for what she would see or tell her the truth about her child, whom she says was &#8220;starting to look like a person&#8221;:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Finally, i felt something lurch forward inside of me, and when i sat in the bathroom, i felt her come out. I knew to expect blood clotting, but nothing could&#8217;ve prepared me for seeing her body. It was the color of my own skin and was actually starting to look like a person. There was nothing I could do except flush. Now that the physical pain is over, that will haunt me for the rest of my life.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>She found out the truth about how developed her baby was too late.
