I work at a Planned Parenthood clinic. Part of my job is talking to patients about their feelings around the decision. While the vast majority say that they're confident that they're making the right decision, I'd say only half tell me that they feel good about it. I agree with the secret that it sounds like the writer drew on her own experience with abortion. I've heard quite a few people say that they wrestled with the decision, that it wasn't easy at all, that while they logically know that to terminate is the best decision, they still feel regret that they had to make the decision in the first place.

Now I really want a link to this story so I can go and anonymously drop the Exhale hotline number.

I have absolutely no doubt that the people who feel bad about it do exist and are a significant portion. I am purely criticising that it's the only experience I see pushed in fiction and talked about. There's a definite feeling that women who shrug, take Plan B, and go along with their lives as if it was any other medical treatment are Heartless Monsters and not the women to hold up as worthy of admiration in this discussion.

It's the same kneejerk thing that when birth control comes up almost inevitably you'll see "It's not JUST for sluts who can't keep their legs closed! Pure Godly women use it for medical reasons!" Like somehow using it to prevent pregnancy is less feminist than using it to treat hormone imbalances.
