pre roe v. wade - 1965

here is my abortion story.

i tried a few times in my early twenties to request a tubal ligation, and doctors told me again and again that i was too young to decide that i didn't want to have children. "think of your future husband!" they said.

i have had two abortions, both traumatic, both for very different reasons.

i feel the urgent need to share my story considering what the republican party is trying to do to a woman's right to choose what happens to her body.

i am having an abortion, my first, in 6 days. i am married, we both have good jobs, we don't currently have children, we own our own home and we are healthy. this pregnancy made it through two forms of birth control.
