My long term, long distance boyfriend had gotten me pregnant. We both had decided at the beginning of our relationship that we did not want to have children. As soon as I realized I felt instantly disgusted, the last thing in the world I wanted. Luckily I lived in a state that had a local planned parenthood, so I would easily be able to take care of my pregnancy. I was instantly so relieved to know that my future was in my own hands. Abortion day was actually on my birthday, the first appointment I could get. At first I thought it was kinda morbid but years later, (now that I have now moved to a state where abortions are not even legal!) I see that having those resources available to me as well as being able to make a choice about my own body was the best gift I could ever get. It is so important for people to be able to make decisions about THEIR OWN BODIES. I hope someday I will be able to make that kind of decision in my new state but I know it will be a long time. Hopefully we can continue and progress in this country to have these resources readily available to all in need.
