after reading about ohio's new “heartbeat bill,” my heart nearly stopped.

when i was 26 years old, i was in graduate school, and fairly depressed.

after two years of trying to conceive on our own and 3 rounds of fertility treatment, i finally was pregnant.

i was 20 years old and i was on levora pills for birth control.

i had an abortion when i was 18.

tengo 45 años, soy mexicana y aunque crecí en una familia completamente disfuncional.
