i had just turned 16 and had sex for the first time with a person who i thought meant everything. it wasn’t bad, but i figured i wouldn’t end up pregnant. after one month i didn’t get my period and would be fainting on a daily basis. i took my first pregnancy test, it was a false positive. as i continued to faint, i went to the birthright by my house. turns out i was pregnant. i made the decision to get an abortion when i realized i have literally no idea how to raise a child, nor did i have the money to. sophomore year is not supposed to end up with a baby. going to a catholic school i knew that it would be extremely frowned upon if any of my teachers or girls who didn’t know me found out what i had done. i trekked my way up to the end of city to the planned parenthood. i am so glad i had the right to choose, without this right i might be a senior facing debts of a child and not a senior who has plans to to go college.
