What to Expect When You’re Aborting

A 23-year-old US blogger has created a storm of controversy by blogging about her abortion.

From her first entry showing a picture of her positive pregnancy test, to her latest post dealing with “a little post-partum depression”, the author handles the topic with a rare level of candour and humour:

I’m trying to get some advice and info that isn’t off a bulletin board style fact sheet. When I google “abortion blog” –because we all know blogs are a great repository for facts and rationality– i get these terrifying pro-life, abortion regret websites. One is called ” silent rain”. UGHHHHH.

WHERE IS THE JUNO OF THE ABORTION WORLD?!?

Other bloggers, however, are describing her tone as narcissistic and glib. In her byline she slams the writer of Knocked Up, declaring “I’m 23. I’m knocked up. And I don’t want to keep it. You can fuck yourself, Judd Apatow. ”

Whether she’ll feel the same way about her choice in 5 or 10 years is uncertain. But it’s refreshing to see some abortion content which is not anguished in tone.
