everyone who would limit abortion rights should know what it is like to have an illegal abortion.

i found out i was pregnant on my best friend's birthday.

i was your classic rebellious teenager; i skipped school, went to parties, and did a lot of things i now regret.

while serving in the peace corps i was dating a host country national not from my host village.

i found out i was pregnant at exactly 5 weeks, i was shocked but excited. i loved my boyfriend dearly, we went to my first scan 6 days later, but within that time my boyfriend decided we should terminate.

i ended my third pregnancy in early november 2014. my first pregnancy was at 16.
