Decided to get an abortion? Alone? There are a hundred reasons a woman might walk into an abortion clinic without anyone by her side. Maybe her partner is unsupportive. Maybe she has not told her family and prefers to keep it that way. Or maybe she is in a new city, far from the people she trusts. Maybe those close to her would understand — but she simply does not want to explain herself right now. Whatever her reason, she deserves to know this: going through an abortion alone does not mean going through it unprepared. It does not mean going through it afraid. And with the right hospital, the right information, and a solid plan in place, it does not even have to feel overwhelming.
