Hi, My Name Is Alexandra.

Hi. I'm Alexandra and I had a medication abortion in Washington in 2016.

I found out I was pregnant when I missed my period, and my first thought was, "I can't complicate my escape from this abusive man by having another baby.” I decided to have a medication abortion because it is trusted to be safe and effective by medical professionals I trust. I was already taking steps to escape the abusive relationship I was trapped in, as safely as I could for the children I already had.

I received my abortion pills through a clinic.

From start to finish, the process was easy, non-invasive, and a huge relief. I took the pills at home, and I felt grateful. Nothing surprised me about it because the doctor explained the process to me very well.

Because I had access to medication abortion, I was able to safely escape the abusive relationship I had been trapped in for fifteen years. I felt so much relief.

I'm sharing my story because having a medication abortion really helped me at a time when I was struggling to find my way out of an abusive relationship.

Medication abortion safe and effective.
