I had my abortion when I was 22 and in an unhealthy relationship.

I lived in a world where everything was disposable and where you simply got rid of what you didn’t want.

Through my abortion experience, I stood up for myself and became empowered to live a fulfilling life

My abortion made it possible for me to be the best mother I could be.

I grew up in a roundly abusive house where everyone tiptoed around my father. Being strong-willed and independent, we clashed often; consequently, I left home at thirteen by "running away."

I was 27 and had been married for eight years, and separated for four months.
