'On the day of my appointment, there were two dozen protesters out front. They said I was going to hell. I thought, going? I’m already there.' (Share your story by emailing myabortionstorymsmagazine.com!)
“Two years earlier, my sister had become pregnant and was forced into a Baptist Home for unwed mothers. She was forced to surrender her baby.“I took a bus to meet a shady doctor, deep in Detroit.“I called my boyfriend who drove me to the ER.“I don’t know if he ever told my mother who was heavily medicated and recovering from her heart attack.“Let no girl or woman ever go through something like this, ever again.On the day of my appointment, there were two dozen protesters out front.
“When he was done, he pushed me out of the car and drove off. I stumbled back to town, in the pitch black, bleeding and in pain. The people I lived with accused me of making it up to get attention, so I took myself to the ER and had a rape kit done. My vagina needed stitches. The police took a report, but I never heard from them again.
“The nurses were lovely, but I don’t remember anything of the actual procedure. At home, I called my mom hoping for some support. I was so sad. She told me I murdered her grandchild and she would never forgive me. “In 1984, I had a first-trimester abortion. My birth control failed me. I was utterly unprepared to be a mother. I needed to take the steps in my life to become the person, and mother, I ultimately became. By ending that pregnancy, I was able to give my children the life I wanted them to have. There is no question in my mind, then and now, what was the right choice.
“I do not accept the religious beliefs that drive the bans and restrictions on early-term abortions. I have my own beliefs. In this country, that is my right. The word ‘freedom’ is hypocrisy when women and girls lose the right and the ability to control their own bodies. It is intolerable that one religious ideology is being shoved down the throats of everyone, entirely against their will and in opposition to their values and beliefs.
