. My mom had the procedure, safely, in a hospital, with no hoopla, angst or trauma. There's no question in my mind that every woman should be fortunate enough to have a similar experience, should she choose to have an abortion, too.

I had an abortion at 21.5 weeks, and it was the best thing I could do...AND prior to that I had had a pro-choice sticker on my car for 4 years. My husband supported me, and it is something I will never forget. Everyone should be able to make thier own decision. Choice. Matters.

I told them it was my boyfriend. I didn’t have a boyfriend. I couldn’t even come up with a name when they asked me.

I am 78. In the 1960s I carried a dead fetus, knowing it was dead, for two and a half months unable to get an abortion because it was illegal.

Joy's story

I was raised to be pro-life, but I knew if I stayed pregnant, I would keep the baby in the end and that wouldn't be good for anyone.
