. my mom had the procedure, safely, in a hospital, with no hoopla, angst or trauma. there's no question in my mind that every woman should be fortunate enough to have a similar experience, should she choose to have an abortion, too.

i had an abortion at 21.5 weeks, and it was the best thing i could do...and prior to that i had had a pro-choice sticker on my car for 4 years. my husband supported me, and it is something i will never forget. everyone should be able to make thier own decision. choice. matters.

i told them it was my boyfriend. i didn’t have a boyfriend. i couldn’t even come up with a name when they asked me.

i am 78. in the 1960s i carried a dead fetus, knowing it was dead, for two and a half months unable to get an abortion because it was illegal.

joy's story

i was raised to be pro-life, but i knew if i stayed pregnant, i would keep the baby in the end and that wouldn't be good for anyone.
