Hi, My Name Is Camille.

Hi. I'm Camille, and I had a medication abortion in New Jersey in 2025.

I found out I was pregnant when I missed my period, and my first thought was: "I can’t have a child right now." I decided to have a medication abortion because I had to. I’m a master’s student; I don’t have a full-time job, and the “father” was a gambling addict. What the actual fuck was I going to do with a child?

I received my abortion pills at a clinic.

From start to finish, the process was quiet, easy, calm, and needed. I took the pills at home with the support of my best friend, and I felt relief, but I was disappointed in myself for ending up in this position. However, I was grateful to be living in a blue state. What surprised me most was that so many women have their own abortion stories, I am not alone in this, and it is not shameful.

Because I had access to medication abortion, I was able to continue my studies, enjoy my life child-free and away from an abusive relationship. I was able to feel like I had my life back. I felt free, I have control of my body, and nobody NO GOVERNMENT will ever change that.

I'm sharing my story because we deserve to feel in control, we deserve to own our bodies and live authentically, not tied down to a bundle of mistakes.

Medication abortion is fucking healthcare.
