Description

Former Fetus is the printed amalgamation of Livejournal entries made during the weeks before and after a medical abortion. It begins after 19-year-old Emily finds out that she is pregnant, and describes the nausea and morning sickness she experiences, the steps she undertakes to schedule an abortion, the ultrasound, the process of a medical abortion, its aftereffects of severe cramping and bleeding, and the lighter bleeding that lasted for several weeks. Emily also recounts the emotional struggles of having an abortion, and describes her relationship to her fetus's father, who is generally unsupportive, terrified, and unable to pay for the abortion because his band is going on tour. Emily describes her struggles with self-esteem, depression, and self-worth. This perzine contains several pictures of the author, information about the various stages of pregnancy, lots of photos, and a hand drawn sketch of the discharged lining of the author's uterus.
