Hi, My Name Is Alexandria.
Hi. I'm Alexandria and I had a medication abortion in Puerto Rico in 2026.
I found out I was pregnant when I took a test after feeling strange, and my first thought was, "Fuck.” I decided to have a medication abortion because the health care system here is in shambles, we are constantly without electricity and water, and I am underpaid.
I received my abortion pills through the mail.
From start to finish, the process was quick, simple, and respectful.
I took the pills at home, and I felt relieved, sad, and in pain. What surprised me most was how instantly the process started.
Because I had access to medication abortion, I was able to avoid financial and emotional turmoil. I felt free, relieved, and saved.
I’m sharing my story because no one should feel alone.
Medication abortion is a human right.
