He wants to know if you're all right. This woman's insensitivity amazed me. I could certainly appreciate the fact that my boyfriend was concerned about me, especially when I was in recovery longer than most patients. I thought it only fair that the clinic's staff take some responsibility for notifying the friends and families of the patients' health status. Instead, this woman seemed to indicate that my boyfriend was being unreasonable.
Abortion is a painful, humiliating, dehumanizing and awful operation to tolerate.
Having been there once, I get chills thinking about any woman going through the experience. There was no doubt in my mind that my child was killed and that I played a part in her destruction. The mourning process I have engaged in is typical to that of any parent who witnessed the death of a child, though at times the grief has been complicated. I haven't yet resolved the grief, and I don't believe I will ever come to terms with it. My baby is dead.
