Press Statements

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 was 16 years old when I got pregnant. Twice. I had been in my past relationship then going on 3 years.

Driving up to the building scared shitless. I get out of the car and hear people yelling… cursing… screaming at me, calling me names.

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.

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.
