My sister told me she wasn’t ready to be a mother. I felt so bad for her when she came to me saying she gotten pregnant twice after Roe vs Wade. She didn’t want to through the pregnancy.

I looked for abortion resources for her and I was able to get her abortion pills. She was so relieved to not be pregnant and be able to give her two kids her full attention. At first, I never understand why parents got abortions after having kids. Now that I had a sibling go through it, I understand her decision and completely stand by her.

Abortion isn’t just medically necessary, it’s mentally and physically necessary as well. I could not imagine putting my poor sister through a third pregnancy after she was done having kids. I’m glad she was able to make a decision for her and for herself as well. We are still close to this day.
