my story began 39 years ago when my husband, 2-year-old daughter and i were living in michigan's upper peninsula.

i was in my third year of graduate school when i found out that i was pregnant.

it is important to get real and honest and open about abortion.

i am 24 years old and engaged to marry the love of my life. we have been together for over four years now.

i had my surgical abortion on sweetest day, 2015.
