The Painful Process

In this monologue, a woman recounts her struggle to overcome the pain of her abortion. As she remembers the events of that day, she compares the descriptions others gave her to dry cleaning-to having a spot removed. But although that’s what she was told it was like, she feels lied to. Yes, there was some physical pain, but that passed fairly quickly. What followed-and haunts her-is the emotional pain. They told me lots of women have abortions and never think about it again. I’m not one of them. She bluntly tells the audience, I didn’t just remove a spot. Its topic is: Abortion. Its character include: 1 female. The author is Donna Lagerquist.
