I'm called a murderer, a sinner, and worse. I made the decision to terminate a planned and wanted pregnancy because my baby was dying inside of me and her condition could have become "mirror syndrome" and cause damage and swelling to my organs as well.

Abortion is so much more complicated than we realize. I had an abortion in 1979 when I was 19. I struggled terribly with the decision but ultimately felt that I had no choice.

I had an abortion 8 weeks before I turned 40.

I had just turned 19 at the time.

Approximately 59% of females getting abortion are already mothers.

I had just turned 20 and had completed my junior year in college.
