I was a teenager when Roe v. Wade delivered a victory for women's rights. I had friends who had illegal abortions with devastating consequences. Never again did I believe we would face this battle.

Seven weeks in, I started bleeding and went to the emergency room, only to find out that the baby was ectopic...growing in my fallopian tube instead of in my womb.

I am a 23 year old woman from a small, extremely conservative town in rural Ohio. For years, I was fed ridiculous information in school and at church.

Lives destroyed and disrupted for want of safe abortion access.

I am 49 and I have had two abortions. One when I was 28 and one when I was 34. Both times I was married. The first time we were newly married and I knew we were not ready emotionally or financially to care for a child. As it turned out, we ended up divorcing.

When the doctor at the clinic at my school told me I was pregnant (I was already pretty sure), I told her I wanted to terminate the pregnancy, and she was very supportive. I hadn't even really considered having the baby. I knew that abortion was the right choice for me at that point in my life.
