i always had this gut feeling that i couldn't have children. i always wanted them...badly. somehow though i knew that i was never to have that for my own.

nobody ever thinks it’ll happen to them.. before knowing i would experience it first hand myself i had always been pro choice and always a self advocater that women have rights and their own free will with their body.

i had my termination almost 10 years ago, and i've never spoken about it.

i was pregnant and had an abortion at 22. in 1976.

my first abortion was when i was 22. i was pregnant with the baby of the man that i'm married to today and that i have three beautiful children with.

i was 19 and in my first year of college. making friends was hard so i got a serving job to stay busy, pay the bills, and hopefully make some friends. he told me he was 26 (he was 30).
