Damaged

  At 19 years old, I went into the abortion clinic to have the surgical procedure. From the consultation to the actual procedure, everyone was friendly and very informative. Lying on that table, I was having conversations about my future with the doctor and anesthesiologist. I trusted them.

As soon as I left Planned Parenthood I immediately had the worst stomach pains of my life.  Four days later, I went to the emergency room because of how much I was bleeding and clotting. It turns out I had an infection. They did an ultrasound and more than 3/4 of the baby was still inside of me. I had a full uterus. The doctor informed me that if I didn't go the very next morning to have another procedure to have it removed, I could die. Planned Parenthood was supposed to remove the baby, and instead they killed the baby, left the dead body inside me, and sent me home.

It's possible that the infection will affect me having kids in the future. It's possible that I'm infertile. I don't know yet, all I know is that I am left traumatized, damaged, and heart broken by the experience I went through. And that is why I am no longer silent.
