“I had my 2nd abortion [voluntary termination of pregnancy] at the hospital in Gaspé. I was in a situation of conjugal psychological violence, and I think the nurses at the planning clinic saw it right away. They accompanied me with incredible care. They made me meet several times with the social worker at the clinic to make sure the choice was really mine. Despite the intensity and the difficulty of this moment, I feel fortunate to have been so well supported by this team. They accompanied me before, during and after. It’s a tough time, when you need support and to feel valid no matter what the reasons are.” – Sam, 31
