## Caption

“…I went home to my parents house where I lived at the time, asked my mom to come up to my bedroom and talk to me. When she did, I handed her the positive test. She just calmly said ‘okay… well what do you want to do?’ All I could get out at the time was ‘I don’t want to.’ She gave me a hug and said “okay, then you don’t have to.” A week later she drove me an hour and a half away to a clinic. On the way, she shared with me that she had an abortion when she was my age. She told me her story. And it broke my heart that she didn’t have someone to help her, like I had her. When we got to the clinic, she held my hand as we walked in, anti abortion protesters were trying to hand me prolife propaganda, one couple offered to ‘adopt my baby’ my mother fiercely protected me from the invasive protestors. She is my hero. After the procedure, all I felt was relief. No guilt. No shame. No regret. Just relief. And admittedly a tad somber, despite knowing that I had made the right decision for myself. My mom told me on our drive home ‘your time for motherhood will come one day… on your own terms.’ Several years later, my time for motherhood did come. On my own terms. And under much better circumstances. I can’t imagine being that 18 year old girl, and not having a choice.” 💛 #ShoutYourAbortion #AbortionPillsForever #abortion #aborcja
