Hi, My Name Is Stephanie.

Hi. I'm Stephanie and I had a medication abortion in Texas in 2020.

I found out I was pregnant when I took a pregnancy test, and my first thought was, "FINALLY.” I decided to have a medication abortion because I miscarried and the fetus was dead 27 days before I knew. I was getting sick and didn’t know why.

I received my abortion pills through a clinic.

From start to finish, the process was safe, easy, and private. I took the pills at home, and I felt destroyed emotionally but glad to have the care I needed. What surprised me most was how quick it was.

Because I had access to medication abortion, I was able to live. I felt relieved to have such a private moment at home.

I'm sharing my story because there's too much misinformation about medication abortion.

Medication abortion saved my life.
