i became pregnant while in college in oklahoma, during the 1980’s, when reagan was in office. i called every clinic in town – not one performed abortions. i finally went to the university’s health clinic. they referred me to planned parenthood, who referred me to a clinic in oklahoma city which performed abortions. at that clinic i was told i would have to wait until i was 6 weeks pregnant before they could perform the abortion, as it was considered safer. i will never forget the frantic feelings i had during those few weeks. i know it’s irrational, but every morning i woke terrified that abortion had become illegal overnight! there was so much negative press about abortion, and having a conservative patriarchal president like reagan was infuriating to me. i was astounded then, and still am, that the government even has a say about what a citizen can decide about her reproductive\/fertility choices. i was very fortunate, and received a safe and legal abortion. there also were no protesters outside the clinic, so i was spared the self-righteous cant that many women are subjected to. abortion is a political, not moral, issue. keep it safe and legal!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
