in 1961 at the age of 19 and still living at home with my parents, i had an illegal back alley abortion and began to slowly bleed almost to death. at that time in my life, i would rather be dead than pregnant.
\ni did finally go see a doctor who asked no questions, & did not judge me and put me in the hospital for a d&c that stopped the bleeding. by that time, i had bled for weeks and had lost muscle control.
\ni remember reports of women dying from perforated uterus due to coat hanger abortions and the reports of babies found in trash cans. we should never go back to those days.
\ni know there are still women who feel like i did and would still risk death rather than carry a pregnancy they do not want to term. they should have the right to a risk free abortion.
\nif you go back to making them illegal, they will still be done, just back in the back alleys where more women will die.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
