TW: graphic medical description

“…I was expecting to go to the Planned Parenthood office, receive the abortion pill (as I was only at about 6 weeks at this point) and have them remove the IUD, and I would be on my way and begin to leave this horrific experience behind. This is where it gets interesting, and graphic! The doctor at PP informed me that she was unable to remove the IUD. When I inquired what she meant by that, she explained that it was physically stuck in my uterus, she could not pull it out, and therefore I could not receive the abortion pill. They did not perform aspiration abortions at that location so I went home, still pregnant. I made an appointment at another PP location, another two and a half hours away for an aspiration abortion, which in all honesty, I was not comfortable with. But I was less comfortable with the idea of growing a baby with an IUD stuck inside of me and risking both of our lives. The aspiration abortion was successful but the fun does not end there. The doctors were under the assumption that the process of the abortion would also dislodge the IUD, not so! The IUD was stuck in there good. Just to wrap up that portion of the story, I went to see my gyno again who was unable to remove the IUD, so she referred me to a specialist who was able to slowly and excruciatingly rip it out of my uterine wall. 

So, my take from all of this is that abortions are not very accessible, they require time, travel and money, and they are not and literally cannot be used as a form of birth control.  I choose my life and my partner’s over the life of an embryo or fetus, but most importantly; THIS IS NOT YOUR F****** BUSINESS.” 💙 Visit the URL on the graphic to read the full story at our website. 💕 #shoutyourabortion #proabortion #abortion #iud #healthcare
