Hi, My Name Is Meg.
Hi. I'm Meg and I had a medication abortion in Washington in 2013.
I found out I was pregnant when I took a test, and my first thought was, "YAY I'M FINALLY HAVING A BABY.” I decided to have a medication abortion because I found out at 10 weeks that my baby didn't have a heartbeat.
I received my abortion pills through a clinic.
From start to finish, the process was quick, affordable, life-saving. I took the pills at the clinic, and I felt very crampy. What surprised me most was how intense the cramps were.
Because I had access to medication abortion, I was able to save my life. I felt grateful to have access to this.
I'm sharing my story because physically I healed quickly with no side effects, and I was able to have a healthy baby a few years later.
Medication abortion is life saving healthcare that keeps people in control of their bodies.
