One woman who had an abortion described being in the recovery room and coming to terms with what had just happened:
“After the procedure was over, I was taken to another room and told to sit for a while. Several younger girls were sitting in chairs lined up against the wall. A girl, who looked like she was about 16, asked, “Was yours a boy or a girl?” I was shocked! What did she mean? Surely this wasn’t a baby! Not yet!”
