“I feel like it’s one experience in my life that ripped me to the core of my soul because it was traumatic. That abortion took a whole day.
They put a pill in me, and a nurse would come in occasionally and roughly do an examination. After all, you’re the loose girl who had sex with your boyfriend and got pregnant. I went home, got into bed, and never came out of my bed,” Wacera told Parents Magazine.

She revealed the debate between having a baby at such a young age and recognizing that she couldn’t be a parent at that moment.
Following the abortion, no one in her family spoke about the matter, and it was during that time she revealed that she had nursed suicidal thoughts that pushed her to attempt to take her life.
