“I had an abortion when I was 30. It was a difficult decision because, despite the fact that I was not in an easy situation (end of studies, no partner…), my head was saying: “Maybe you won’t have another chance to have one, my girl! But my whole body was saying “no”! The abortion went well (even if it was not a pleasant moment), I was in harmony with myself. There were people close to me who encouraged me to respect myself and didn’t push me in my decision making. The staff at the abortion clinic were also amazing. All of this allowed me to slowly come to terms with this choice. At 35, I found myself in a similar situation: pregnant, a fragile couple, a distant family… My whole body was saying “yes”. And it went well too, and it’s still going well because the child is alive and well, and I’m still in tune with myself.” – Charlie, 52
