Émilie, 28 years old, comes in for a consultation and immediately says: 'I am pregnant, but I don't want to keep it.' She lists her justifications as if she needs to defend herself for considering an abortion. I remind her that it's her right, that she doesn't have to justify herself. She begins to cry, tears of relief.She doesn't understand how it happened; she was taking her pill correctly. So I explain to her that contraception is not infallible, that many women who have abortions were using contraception. She feels less guilty. I prescribe the necessary tests, and she chooses to have the abortion at the planning center.Two weeks later, she returns calmer. Her boyfriend supports her and will accompany her to the hospital. It touches me because it's rare, and it shouldn't be.Émilie has freed herself from a burden, thanks to a bit of listening and kindness.And you, when was the last time you were there for someone?
