A twenty- two year old girl from Bermuda came into our Brooklyn office today for a sonogram. She had seen our advertisement on the subway and was amazed to know there could be FREE services in the United States of America,most especially of the sort EMC offers. So her coming was actually to confirm the veracity of the information on the advertisement she had seen and hopefully to have a sonogram. I didn't know about this until we both sat down after her sonogram and we talked, even then she told me more about her fears.
She was pregnant last year for a boyfriend who was father to three children of different mothers unknown to her. When the other ladies heard about her pregnancy, they waged war on her so that she decided to end it by getting rid of the baby. She constantly intentionally exerted pressure on her stomach to cause miscarriage. Within this period of pregnancy, she was involved in a car accident but nothing happened to her pregnancy. Then after trying all these and did not get her desire, she proceeded for an abortion.
When she got to the clinic in Florida, her heart wasn't at rest. She paced up and down in front of the abortion clinic contemplating her decision. Eventually, her mind was made up so she went in. During the sonogram, one of the two nurses present in the room commented on the size of her baby. Being already uneasy about her decision, she requested to know the sex of the baby and how far long she was. According to her,the nurse declined her request saying that if told,she may change her mind. The abortion was eventually done and is the major reason for her current fear.She said that the abortion was horrific because the anesthesia was not strong enough so she still felt pain during the surgery.
Some months after the abortion,she got pregnant again for her new boyfriend but had a miscarriage.Now she's pregnant and fears that she may loose her baby. She said if she had known about what the abortion procedure was and its aftermath like the psychological trauma she's been dealing with, abortion wouldn't have been considered. For her, last year was the FIRST and LAST time she'd ever go through an abortion. Putting it in her own words,"I will NEVER do it again" was what basically ended the story.
