my name is heather. i’ve had 3 abortions. i had them at ages 21, 27 and 35. the reason why? i didn’t want children, didn’t want to go thru pregnancy and delivery. putting a child up for adoption was simply not something i was willing to do. it was as simple as that. <\/p>\n
why didn’t i want children? too many reasons to give here. i have no regrets and would likely abort if i were to become pregnant again.<\/p>\n
how did i feel being pregnant? like a hostage. like my life was not my own. like i was being invaded and colonized. i wanted it out of me. my life was on hold.<\/p>\n
how did i feel after the abortion? relief. gratitude to the amazing, kind and wonderful people at the women’s clinics. painfully aware of my privilege in that i lived in cities with easy access to abortion and wonderful clinics and that i could afford to pay for the procedures myself. i felt i had my life back and i could continue what i was doing before i got pregnant.<\/p>\n
thank you to all for this project and others like them. it’s very necessary. sometimes i think about walking around with a t-shirt that says: 3=the number of abortions i’ve had \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
but i know not everyone gets an abortion because they want to and it could be triggering for some who have had abortions or fertility 世界杯赛程2022赛程表中国 so i hesitate to do that.<\/p>\n
(also, a shirt that says 1= the number of times i’ve been sexually assaulted)<\/p>\n
the idea behind the t-shirts is to put it out there instead of covering up what is a fact of life for many, many people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
