Press Statements

I was 16 years old and in love for the very first time. The relationship started off great, but gradually became physically abusive.

At 16 in 1968 I was forced to have an illegal abortion my step father didn’t want the embarrassment of an unwed pregnant daughter.

I’m a mother of 3 wonderful children. An 11 year old daughter, 8 year old son and almost 2 year old son.

I grew up in a somewhat religious house hold but a very religious city. I was 16 and I was dating a 23 year old.. gangster.

I had just turned 23 when I realized I was pregnant. I hadn’t even been with my boyfriend for a year yet and things were already rocky.

I had an abortion just over a month ago. It has been the worst month of my life and I can never imagine feeling worse.

Soy activista por el derecho a tomar mis propias decisiones sobre mi vida y mi cuerpo.

My life was all lollipops and rainbows, until I met him.

At age 22 I understood myself as Lesbian.
