i was 13 when i had my abortion. it was 1970 and abortion was just legalized. my father was a pedophile, my mother was and still is a classic enabler.

i moved out at 15 thankfully not with a unwanted child. i was able to enjoy a professional career in customs compliance and global logistics. i have been happily married for nearly 35 years. i have lived with a shame my whole life. do not let us go backwards for goodness sake, life is hard enough. thank you.
