i think about how my life has a night shift nurse would be vastly different if i had not had my abortions. i would be struggling to find child care at night and really would not be able to be the nurse that i am today.

i think i got pregnant on this bedspread. a queen sheet, taken from the curb outside an
anthropologie in soho.
it covered a mattress found on craigslist.

in 2011, i proudly told my abortion story for the first time publicly via 喀麦隆vs巴西波胆分析 ’s 1 in 3 story-telling project because i was inspired by the project to show so many faces and reasons behind abortion.

i was going into my senior year at a small private high school. i had many friends and a long-term boyfriend at the time; however, our relationship was not stable.

things just aren’t what they are in the movies.

i kept dreaming he would show up at my doorstep with flowers and beg me not to do it.

my story is simple. i got pregnant when i was 26 and did not want a baby then, or as it would turn out, ever. it was a careless mistake of not using protection when i thought i was in a safe point of my cycle.
