Hi, My Name Is Molly.
Hi. I'm Molly and I had a medication abortion in New York in 2015.
I found out I was pregnant when I missed my period , and my first thought was, "I have to tell my mom.” I decided to have a medication abortion because the man who I was dating at the time -- who would've been the father -- was extremely abusive. I also was only 22 years old and could barely afford to take care of myself. I didn't want to have a baby and I knew that immediately.
I received my abortion pills through a clinic.
From start to finish, the process was so quick and easy. I took the pills at my house with my best friend laying in bed with me, and I felt fine emotionally, but had severe cramps physically. What surprised me most was how I had no regrets about it. Never have.
Because I had access to medication abortion, I was able to live my life! I'm 33 years old now and starting to think about having kids on my own terms. I felt powerful. I'm sharing my story because abortion should be an easy, uncomplicated process.
Medication abortion can save your life.
