I am a 25 year old British Pakistani Muslim living in the outskirts of London with my parent and 5 siblings. My mother and older sisters cover up, in the name of Hijab, for Islam. I used to and don't anymore.

i had one kid already, he was maybe 14 months old. i was living with my mother in law, and i refer to it as "when i lived in hell". she hated me, and i hated her right back. it was a horrible time to be pregnant.

I grew up in suburban Texas, where "sex education" consisted of little more than a Mean Girls-esque "if you have sex, you will get pregnant, and die".

I had one abortion when I was 21. I am now 68. I am a rape survivor.

I was in an abusive marriage with one child already. I can never speak of this as married women are not supposed to get abortions.

I've been a single mother of two (no support) since 1997. In 2005, I finally made it to college working full-time days and schooling at night.
