i have had 2 abortions and a miscarriage.

soy mexicana. aborte a los 19 años, entre por presión y por decisión propia.

i have now and at the time, a medical degree, board certification, an ms and was finishing up on my phd when i suddenly heard of, interviewed for, and was offered a dream job for me.

why the fight for women’s reproductive rights is important to me —

it was 2007. i was 18 and i had just moved out with my boyfriend.

i was a single mother of two in the late 80's when i decided to have an abortion.
