Hi everyone.

I (22F) found out i was pregnant about two weeks back. my boyfriend and i decided that we would not be having the baby and i would be getting a medical abortion. i’m sad but i know this is the right decision as we just cannot afford to have a baby right now. i came on reddit for some support as i have no one else to speak to about this.

someone recommended that i reach out to Saved by His Grace for support. I did reach out to them but i was honestly shocked at the response. I was paired with a lady that i was told would help and counsel me on the abortion. I told her my story and i told her that i’ve made my decision which is final but i would just like to know what to expect during the abortion, pain and emotions wise.

she then proceeded to list horrible things that could happen during the abortion, such as sepsis, bleeding out, punctured uterus, infection, shock and trauma etc. I know that everyone’s experience is different and some have it worse than others but was it really necessary to list all of the horrible things that are very unlikely to happen?

if that wasn’t bad enough, i was then sent a link to a very traumatic video of a woman getting an abortion in which there’s blood running down her legs and she says “i didn’t think i was going to die this way”

i mean really? for someone that has told you they are getting an abortion what kind of support is that?? i understand that we need to be aware of the risks etc but im just shocked and disappointed.

please let me know if im just being dramatic 🥲

EDIT: For those saying i should have known by the name, i understand where youre coming from, however, I am Christian and this is my first time doing all of this, i hadn’t heard of CPC’s. but i have definitely learnt my lesson now 🙏
