Tomoko contacted WoW's online abortion service, this is an edited version of what she wrote.
Thank you so much for helping us out. I will start a new life with my three children, with a fresh determination.
Tomoko's story
I just divorced my husband and I have absolutely no money.
I am pregnant with my ex-husband, but I cannot contact him. I do not know where he is at all. I do not have money to have a surgical abortion, nor do I have time to go to the hospital because I have to work in order to feed my three children. I have only 5000 yen (around 45 USD) at hand for this month.
My husband was violent. Finally I could divorce him, but I became pregnant, and I have to pay money to fix the situation, isn’t this unfair?
I have absolutely no money or power to raise another kid. I need to terminate this pregnancy. Please help me.
Tomoko contacts Women on Web again while she’s waiting for the pills to arrive:
I am waiting for the abortion pill to arrive. I suffer from nausea, but I have to work for money. Every day is hell.
Tomoko contacted Women on Web after the abortion:
Thank you so much for helping us out. I will start a new life with my three children, with a fresh determination.
