back in march of 2014, i didn’t know that the only free-standing abortion clinic in the state was located 10 minutes from my apartment.

i couldn't believe it when i found out. i was what? pregnant? no, surely not!

i was 22 years old. i was working as a bartender and had a large savings account.

i had an abortion 8 weeks before i turned 40.

when you are 22 years old you never really think about how the decisions you make will forever change your life, in a way that is completely unimaginable.
