so you had a sonogram at the planned
parenthood in brooklyn
and the sonogram is showing that you're
18 weeks pregnant
is that about what you thought oh no
okay how many weeks did you think you
were i thought i was 10 weeks
10 weeks okay that happens sometimes
because you're 18 weeks you're in the
second trimester this is going to be a
two-day procedure okay
is there any way you can do it all in
one day unfortunately it has to be done
over the course of two days
we have to put dilators in the cervix so
that the cervix can open up slowly
overnight that way the procedure can be
done safely tomorrow
will you be able to come back tomorrow
yeah
okay i also need to know that you're
absolutely sure of your decision to
terminate this pregnancy
are you sure of your decision yeah okay
because if you for any reason change
your mind there could be serious medical
considerations if you don't complete the
second part of the procedure
okay okay do you have a place to stay
tonight
i know you came from far away yeah yeah
where are you gonna stay i don't know i
was just gonna go to a hotel or
something
okay hotels are pretty expensive
do you have the money for that i'll
figure it out
we work with volunteers that can help
you with a place to stay
i can reach out to them if you want me
to yeah i
i got it okay
who came with you today my cousin
have they been supportive yeah okay can
you tell me what
led to your decision to terminate the
pregnancy
i i'm just not ready to be a mom that's
totally fine whatever
your decision is is totally fine as long
as it's yours
