i hope anyone who has done this, or find themselves thinking about it, it's okay, you are an amazing woman, don't think your heart won't break, but you are doing what you need to do, and that will always be okay.

it’s hard not to feel angry at peoples opinions or reactions. but you're not alone if you do too.

having an abortion was the most upsetting and darkest decision of my life, however, not regretful for our family

i exist because my mother was able to access abortion. if she had not had an abortion, she would not have had me later in her life. because she made her choice, she had me when she was ready and had the support she needed to raise me.

i got my abortion during the covid-19 pandemic. i was finishing my final semester remotely and knew that my best option was an abortion. the person who got me pregnant was manipulating me constantly and i knew that i could not have a baby with this person.

i would like to share my story with you, not because this bill will directly impact me, but because what happened to me can happen to anyone. fetal anomalies do not discriminate and they can occur in anyone: black, white, rich, poor, educated, or not.
