Hi, My Name Is Brittany.

Hi. I'm Brittany and I had a medication abortion in Tennessee in 2009.

I found out I was pregnant when I missed my period, and my first thought was, "No, not me.” I decided to have a medication abortion because I was a victim of sexual assault by a serial reproducer.

I received my abortion pills through a clinic.

From start to finish, the process was private, emotional, painful. I took the pills at a hotel room, and I felt some of the worst pain I've experienced. What surprised me most was how purposeful it felt.

Because I had access to medication abortion, I was able to live my life as intended. I felt free and in control of my body.

I'm sharing my story because I'm a survivor, and I want to encourage other women to make the decision that is best for them.

Medication abortion saved my life.
