What Does The Room Where You Get An Abortion Look Like?

This kind of article is great — dispels myths and takes the fear out of what’s really just an essential medical procedure.

I worked for a summer as a volunteer at a Planned Parenthood clinic and took care of women in the recovery room after their abortions. It was just like that picture in the middle: a big room full of easy chairs where folks relaxed and ate snacks until they felt well enough to leave. It was a deeply humbling experience. If you want to join the fight to protect reproductive rights, I recommend calling your local clinic and asking what help they need.
