Hi, My Name Is Amelia.

Hi. I'm Amelia and I had a medication abortion in Canada in 2021.

I found out I was pregnant when I was hungry for the first time in my life, and my first thought was a side affect of my antidepressants. I decided to have a medication abortion because my ex was abusive.

I received my pills through a clinic.

From start to finish, the process was scary, necessary, relieving. I took the pills at home, and I felt scared. What surprised me most was how painful it was.

Because I had access to medication abortion, I was able to keep myself alive and leave a physically abusive relationship. I felt saved.

I’m sharing my story because abortion saves lives.

Medication abortion prevents domestic homicide.
