A’Maya

I was 20 years old. Sure, I should have known better than to have unprotected sex, but I did it anyway, and got pregnant. Not ready to have a baby, I called my mom, then flew the 1,800 miles back to where she lived, so she could go with me to get an abortion. The clinic I went to treated me with complete respect, and kindness. I will remember those women forever. And once it was done, I felt nothing but relief. That was 19 years ago, and I have never regretted my choice to have an abortion. Never.
