Again I've almost missed the anniversary of my abortion

until this article reminded me. 

Second-Trimester Tragedy

What happens when my patients lose an almost-viable pregnancy.

 

I am like the woman the end of this piece, except for every now and then when I recall with great admiration the doctor who performed my second trimester abortion, or that moment when I was alone in the room, or a few other moments, that I haven't shared. 

I remain, however many years it has been, because I really don't count any more, staunchly pro-choice and ever-more convinced that I did what I should have regarding me.
