In 1969 abortion was illegal and women died and got horrible infections from trying to abort themselves some used coat hangers and there was the real possibility of death and sterility.

I had two illegal abortions, one in England in 1961 which was careful and civilized, as well as expensive.

I am one in three.

I have had two abortions. The first one was in 1970, before Roe v. Wade. I was 16 years old and so dumb that I got pregnant.

I got pregnant in 1972, when abortion was legal in Washington, DC, but before Roe v. Wade.
