I felt like a criminal for having an abortion – Australian Women’s Weekly – June 2016
Karen Hall* was wracked with emotion when she decided to terminate her pregnancy at nine weeks. It wasn’t a decision that she took lightly, but having fallen pregnant by accident, just two months after giving birth to her second IVF baby it seemed like the best decision for her family.
“Having the baby just wasn’t an option for me. It was a horrible decision to have to make and one I never want to be faced with again. But I know that mentally I would not have been able to cope with a third child,” says Hall.
