The Abortion

Roxy Fox
About this episode

Nearly three years ago I had to make the most difficult decision of my life - and only now I am realising the effects and the trauma it actually caused. 

Listen to the story of my abortion. A story of extremes, of debauchery, drugs, and of difficulties beyond belief. I got pregnant without knowing the father. In a country that I had just left for good. Made the decision to have an abortion because I had to, not because I wanted to. And finally had an abortion in a country in which it is illegal. 

It is an emotional rollercoaster ride, told in a beautiful, funny, soft yet radical way.
