When she was very young Daniela considered abortion a convenient choice. An unconscious thing. Then she found herself in the midst of the pain that every woman faces in the face of a voluntary termination of pregnancy.
«I had been in a relationship for two years that today I would call toxic love and when I found out I was pregnant I felt trapped in that life that made me feel bad. ” When she was a student Daniela did not accept that a woman could choose to voluntarily terminate a pregnancy. “You can stop first”, he repeated to himself, without turning his thoughts to the infinite variables that lie within and behind a choice that is never easy for every woman who is faced with it.
“When I discovered I was pregnant, the world collapsed on me, I didn’t expect it because with my ex partner we had always been careful and I didn’t understand how it could have happened. For a very long day I thought I was going to keep that baby but I knew it wasn’t what I wanted. I knew I was doing it only out of fear of the judgment of others but it was not my real decision ».
With great emotional difficulty, Daniela decided to feel free to choose and put in a corner the feeling of feeling wrong, of not being able to do it. “It was the most painful choice of my life. I had never undergone surgery in my life. It is a vivid memory in my soul, that feeling of nakedness and fragility, not only physical but also psychological. As the nurses brought me to the surgery, the tears ran down my face by themselves, their coldness and judgment were among the last words I heard, before the total anesthesia: “And this one is crying too”».
In Italy, the voluntary termination of pregnancy is guaranteed by the Law 194 of 1978. But still today there is no region of our country where women do not report difficulties in accessing the IVG, given the very high number of objectors present throughout the country: 69 percent.
«I chose to tell my story to reiterate that the judgment on who is facing a voluntary interruption of pregnancy is always wrong. And I was one of those who criticized women who abort, just knowing their own pain, I understood them. Anyone who has an abortion does not do it lightly, it is not a waxing, nor does it remove a mole. It is taking away a piece of oneself, not just physical, which goes away forever ».
