I sat in the small waiting room; my hands were still sweating from the ordeal I had to go through just getting into the clinic. The protesters voices still rang in my mind and although they couldn’t change it, they made me feel ashamed about my choice. “Oh sweetie! Please don’t kill your baby!” [...] Having an abortion was the most empowering, best decision that I ever made. It helped me remove myself from an abusive relationship and seek healthy ones for the first time in my life. It taught me to love myself. I am the happiest I have ever been today because I was able to remain strong [...] In 2005, when I was 17, my virginity was robbed from me. I have gotten used to the idea that there are two of me: the one before the event, and me after the event. It happened when I was in high school, just months before graduation. I kept it a secret for years, because [...] I have never really been able to take birth control, it makes me very ill.

I was forced to then give the baby up for adoption. At 16 I was assaulted by my boyfriend, and when I found out that I was pregnant he made sure [...] In May 1999 I was a junior in High School and for a month straight I did not feel good. At prom I felt like fainting and I was so hungry all the time. And then one morning my mom heard me throwing up. I was so scared and so upset. I had to pull [...] I am 57 years old and I have two grown children – a daughter and a son. I have had several abortions. I am not sorry at all, except for one.
