Since we launched the Mife Stories project [mifestories.com] , more than 600 people have shared their medication abortion stories. We’re sharing some of them with you this month so you can understand the power and poignancy of people sharing their truth. And so you can see what monthly support actually makes possible.
Here's Jules:
Hi. I'm Jules and I had a medication abortion in New York, in 1998. I found out I was pregnant when I missed my period, and my first thought was: 'The morning after pills that I purchased at a dodgy clinic didn't work.' I decided to have a medication abortion because my (former) boyfriend was abusive and tried to kill me. I got my pills, this time from a more reputable clinic. From start to finish the process was easy, even though the cramping was bad and I did bleed a lot, but nothing that I wasn't prepared for. I took the pills at home and I felt relieved and safe. What surprised me most was how quickly I was able to go back to my life.
Because I had access to medication abortion I was able to finish school, get my degree, embark on a wonderful career, and would never have to be financially dependent on an abusive man. I felt empowered and amazing.
I'm sharing my story because women and girls need to know that there are safe choices they can make and deserve to have the life they want. It's absolutely cruel to force anyone to give birth against their will. Medication abortion saved my life.
