"My girlfriend and I aborted a child a couple of weeks ago."

“I’m sorry for your loss.”

“We didn’t lose anything. It was a choice.”

“Were both of you equally on board with the decision?”

“She followed my lead, which made it tougher I guess. But I’ve got so much going on right now, and she just opened her own theater show. It’s just not the right time.”

“How’s the aftermath been?”

“You know, I always thought of abortion as a common thing. I’m a liberal guy. Pro-choice and everything. But I never imagined how bloody painful it was going to be.”

“Do you mind if I post your story?”

“With my picture? I’d prefer not.”
