Malta: The only EU country where abortion is illegal leaves women scared
This was Maria - not her real name - after finding out she was pregnant.
"I was scared," she says. "I didn't know what the police [would] do. I thought maybe they would be searching for people googling the word abortion. And then you obviously get paranoid and your thoughts get carried away."
She's speaking to us anonymously because she broke the law by taking pills obtained via an organisation based outside of Malta.
"I filled in a form that a doctor reviews. Then I got an email to actually buy the pills."
