Hi, My Name Is Candace.

Hi. I'm Candace, and I had a medication abortion in NJ in 2023. I found out I was pregnant in July, and my first thought was "Sad ."

I decided to have a medication abortion for mental health purposes.

I got my abortion pills from a clinic.

From start to finish, the process was nonjudgmental, quick, and caring.

I took the pills at home, and I felt cramps 3 hours later.

What surprised me most was that it felt like strong period cramps.

Because I had access to medication abortion, I was able to be the best mom I could be to my two kids. I felt sad but relieved.

I'm sharing my story because you’re not alone.

Medication abortion is our choice.
