i had my abortion when i was 22 and in an unhealthy relationship.

it was my last semester of college and it was his 3rd year. i was living in a dorm and i supported myself.

i have had two abortions. the first one was in 1970, before roe v. wade. i was 16 years old and so dumb that i got pregnant.

i'd had horrible periods all along with bad clotting, back pain, heavy flow, and migraine headaches.

in 1969 abortion was illegal and women died and got horrible infections from trying to abort themselves some used coat hangers and there was the real possibility of death and sterility.

i was 19 when i found out i was pregnant. my boyfriend and i were at the pool in my mom's neighborhood.
