i used to think my dad spanked me because i was bad. i used to think it was my fault that i was molested.

today is 8/1/2015 and it is a day after my abortion. i am a 25 yr old mother of 2. i have a 3yr old and 11month old. i never thought i would have an abortion. i don't judge, but personally i never had a reason that was so bad that i would ever do it.

i am in the unenviable position of having had both an abortion, & a child i placed for adoption.

i've been pro choice since i was old enough to understand the politics of abortion. i found out i was pregnant at 18 and made the decision to parent. i felt capable, and i was ok with the idea of being a mom.
