Hi, My Name Is Freya.

Hi. I'm Freya and I had a medication abortion in Oregon.

I found out I was pregnant when I missed a period and took a test at home, and my first thought was not sure if I want this in my life right now. I decided to have a medication abortion because I was in graduate school and wasn’t ready for the responsibility.

I received my abortion pills through a clinic.

From start to finish, the process was smooth, efficient, affordable. I took the pills at home, and I felt OK and a little scared. What surprised me most was how smoothly it went, though it was painful.

Because I had access to medication abortion, I was able to finish graduate school and have two kids when I was ready with my partner. I felt relief.

I’m sharing my story because I want others to know they aren’t alone and the experience allowed me to have a fuller life.

Medication abortion is life saving healthcare.
