Shaker Kirsten wrote to me with the note that she's terminating a pregnancy, which is something she's never done before, and she's a little anxious about the actual procedure. I offered to open a thread, for Shakers to share their experiences of getting an abortion, and she said she'd very much like that: "I recognize that terminating a pregnancy is different for everyone, people do it for different reasons, and have different feelings afterwards. I'm going to be using the 'medication' method, the pill regimen, so if people have had that and would be willing to share their experiences that would make things a little less nerve-wracking." Naturally, experiences with any method are welcome and solicited.
