“My abortion [voluntary termination of pregnancy] was a turning point in my life. It was a difficult decision because it was marked by immense ambivalence. Fortunately, I was accompanied by a social worker from the planning centre throughout my decision-making process. I was able to do a lot of introspection thanks to her listening, her non-judgment, her benevolence and her decision-making tools. She is the guardian of my process. My abortion, for me it was a great paradox. That of mourning and sadness, but also of new strength. The strength to trust myself, to respect my emotions, my needs and to give myself permission to listen to myself. My abortion was tears and a lot of love.” – Sacha, 35
