Great nuance that is usually lost in the chaotic debate around abortion.

Frank and personal discussion of the reasons people choose to have (or not have) abortions may not convince anyone who's already ideologically committed, but they are important for providing an insight into the realities of the situation, and this personal account does that well.

This woman told her truth and these are the stories that we need to publish in newspapers and magazines all over this country. As a woman myself who had an abortion decades ago I can relate to her story and am so grateful that my abortion was legal and safe. I did have to pass through some anti abortionists when I got my abortion at Planned Parenthood in the 90's but because I had someone with me to protect me from them I was lucky. Planned Parenthood was awesome and my abortion was safe without any issues at all. My partner, that became my husband, was supportive throughout the whole process and now I have the life I wanted. We chose not to have children and this was the best choice FOR US. EVERY woman has the right to make this decision! The courts should never ever be involved and yet here we are with a horrible Supreme Court that is willing to put our lives and the lives of our families on the line. My hope is that this hateful law in Texas will be thrown in the trash heap where it belongs!
