## Caption

“People share stories about an unplanned pregnancy leading to a baby that keeps a couple together for better or worse but our abortion brought me and the love of my life back together.

…The place I had to moved to in California was in the mountains and very rural – the nearest abortion providers were hours away. Luckily, I was able to get the abortion pill shipped to me, which drastically changed the experience for the better. I have always been private and independent, and have not always had the best experiences with health care workers. Adding even more complications, I was still on Oregon Health Plan, and would have had to pay out of pocket for any care in California. But miraculously I was able to order them to my door for less than $150, and my partner drove ten hours in one day to come to me. He arrived with so much love and support that was like coming home – I was getting something from him I realized I had never even truly asked for, because I expected not to get it. My relief was instantaneous when he laid down in bed with me after I took the first of the two pills. It was like I could take a breath again.

…To anyone reading this, please do not be afraid or ashamed. Abortion is spoken about in relation to death so often, but I promise: that energy passing through you will find the right outlet, and there is so much life for you to live on the other side of this. Stuff you already want, and things you could never expect. That life matters, and it is all waiting for you. I hope someone is holding your hand like they did mine, but if they aren’t, know that I am holding you in my heart.” 💛 #ShoutYourAbortion #AbortionPillsForever
