i minored in women's and gender studies in college and am very educated when it comes to women's reproductive rights.

i never knew that i would find love in a new city. i moved to the south west for a year to work with a non-profit.

i knew from an early age that i never wanted children. so my choice was never difficult for me.

i found out that i was pregnant when i was 29 years old. married for five years, and living with my husband in stuttgart, germany (we are both american).

my senior year in high school i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. right after, we went to go get plan b. this was not a great plan.

we were seriously in love at 18. birth control made me not recognize myself with the moods and body changes.

i got pregnant on my 22nd birthday. i was a senior in college studying biology with the plans of going on to get my phd. i have the grades and the research experience to do it, but a child was not in the plans.
