Description
my Grandma, Marie, fell pregnant when she was 14 years old. Her mother realised her pregnancy before Marie did and one night a nurse called and led my Grandmother into the kitchen and spread her out on the stone kitchen floor.

Still unaware Marie was held down as the nurse performed an abortion on her using detergent, a wire clothes frame and plenty of bandages.

It was painful and horrific and my Grandmother was forced to undergo this procedure twice during the same pregnancy, each time the operation failed and my grandmother gave birth to my father.

The only thing my Grandmother ever recalled from the two terrible events that left her infertile after was the nurse who remarked

'They make it look so easy'.

(this image is my mental representation to the story and may not be to the best likeness of events. The drawing was the work of myself and a friend, the colour and manipulation was my doing.)
