Gemma is 28, British, and recovering from an abortion she had just over a month ago. She was far enough along—a few days shy of five months—that she had to be admitted to the hospital. She would have preferred to end the pregnancy earlier—but she didn’t know about it, even after getting checked out by a doctor after suffering from fatigue. I was going to the doctor and getting blood tests, and nobody ever told me I was pregnant,” she told me. When she finally took a pregnancy test and found out, she decided an abortion was her best option.
