“It’s not as bad as you think. On TV or in the movies, abortion is presented as difficult and painful, but with the kindness of the clinic staff and the painkiller, you don’t feel anything. I had more pain and fear at my first PAP test with an unfeeling, dumb doctor than I did for my abortion in a women’s community clinic. But although I wouldn’t want to go through it a second time because it causes a lot of anxiety, it couldn’t have gone better.” – Lou, 25
