Hi, My Name Is Maddy.

Hi. I'm Maddy and I had a medication abortion in Ohio in 2026.

I found out I was pregnant when I missed my period , and my first thought was a baby will ruin my life. I decided to have a medication abortion because I do not want to be a mother.

I received my abortion pills through the mail.

From start to finish, the process was easier than I expected. I took the pills at home, and I felt immediate relief. What surprised me most was that I didn’t have any regret even though society says I’m supposed to.

Because I had access to medication abortion, I was able to continue my work and personal life seamlessly. I felt control, relief, like I could breathe again.

I’m sharing my story because I shouldn’t feel any shame for the choice I made.

Medication abortion is necessary.
