“It is the ten-year anniversary of my abortion. When this date comes around, I think of breadsticks. I wasn’t pressured to make the choice. I was treated with respect and care at the clinic. I was asked, repeatedly, if this was what I wanted. There was never any doubt. In the comfort of home, I took the second pill. After I was sure it was staying down, I slept. When I woke up, late into the night, I felt free. I felt gratitude. I felt relief. I felt hungry. I walked softly down the hall, Past my sleeping daughter, Thinking, “I did this for you, too,” And stopped at the fridge. The morning sickness gone, I feasted. My life was mine again, And freedom tastes like breadsticks.” 💛 #ShoutYourAbortion
