“I was 20 when I had an abortion. I was in an emotionally unhealthy relationship. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t have anyone to talk to about my choices. I sought out a pregnancy center to talk things over and guess what… it was one of those super religious places that ended up bringing in two people to lecture me about how I was doing the wrong thing. I was just a kid, really, and didn’t really know how to speak up for myself. I had gotten myself in this relationship I didn’t know how to leave, then a pregnancy that I didn’t know how to make my own decision about, and I didn’t know how to respond to these people, these strangers, telling me I was wrong to consider an abortion. That’s what pushed me over the edge, strangely, and made me recognize what I wanted and what I needed. I come from generations of mothers who have been held back in life by less than healthy relationships along with teenage or early 20 pregnancies. I changed my role in this cycle. Was it a difficulty for me...
