estaba segura de que no podía quedar embarazada el día siete de mi ciclo menstrual. uno pensaría que una estudiante de enfermería lo sabría mejor que nadie.

cuando quedé embarazada estaba comenzando la universidad, en 1967, el aborto legal más cercano había sido en japón.
i'm 52, childless and single. i terminated my only 2 pregnancies and only now know for sure that i did the right thing.
before i had my abortion i scoured the internet for stories about the procedure: how long, how painful, etc. aside from a video of a young woman who calmly undergoes an abortion, making it seem like no big deal, the pain and procedure information was hard to find.
i was raised in the mormon church, and had been told to always be a good girl, and learned how to be codependent at a very early age.
i saved the ultrasound picture in a dated envelope, stuck it in a drawer and just as i closed the drawer - i closed out that moment in my life. they asked if i planned to continue with the pregnancy, at the tender, scared and reckless age of 18, in a low whisper, i said, “no.”
