I think that it's been examined and analyzed and talked about pretty well.

DA - thanks for this link! And for talking about your first hand experience. I genuinely believe it's incredibly helpful to other women to hear this kind of thing. I remember being a teenager and thinking abortion was this horrible, traumatic experience by nature, and one that very few women underwent, because that's just always how it had been portrayed. Hearing from people who'd had one and were honestly just relieved and grateful it'd been available to them made such a big difference in demolishing the stigma around the whole thing. It was only when I finally saw people contradicting the omnipresent "trauma and shame" narrative that I finally realized how irrational my own thoughts about abortion had always been.

I hate that women are made to feel that way. Of course, for every person it's different, but i have truly never met anyone who felt anything other than a bittersweet relief. It's not something people *want* to do, but when they *need* to do it, it is a very, very good thing.

I'm glad you got to hear some opposing narratives!
