Disappointing

This did not have to go down in this way at all.

First, she recognized she did not want to make the mistake again, I don’t know if you read the part about her getting an IUD.

Given that she took steps to ensure she would not repeat her mistake, you can hardly call one abortion at 7 weeks “using abortion as birth control.” That is super unfair given the facts that were presented here.

Second, just because she isn’t oozing with dramatic emotion, doesn’t mean she didn’t have feelings about it. In fact, there were clues that she did have very strong feelings — she bought something to remember her ‘seed,’ and she said the emotional feelings were very mixed.

Maybe sometimes people who are looking for information on the physical parts of going through this find nothing but emotional, threatening, damming and incomplete information that is simply too scary for them to digest.

She said she was writing this for women who have a need to comprehend the process, to ease their fears.

Maybe you aren’t judging the abortion with this at all, maybe your judgment is about the number of men she was with when she got pregnant?

Either way, this is very unhelpful.

It makes me sad. And I think you’re better than this, Danna Colman, I really do.
