Why is it nightmare fuel? and why poor Kerry? Seems like she made the decision that was right for her.

Also, I thought Bea Arthur was the first woman to have an abortion on network TV.

Nightmare fuel because she was almost recognized when she very clearly wanted to stay anonymous and I feel sorry for her that she judged herself so harshly at the time.

I am glad she has come to terms with those feelings now.

i have to that it can be nightmare fuel for some still even if they know they made the right choice and are deeply grateful to have the choice. i just know that while the experience itself is fine, the mental aspect is grueling. you want this out of you, you dont feel like youre you and youre in constant panic mode. i guess getting pregnant itself is nightmare fueling for those are really dont want children rn, but the abortion is all part of it! never ever again lol
