I really enjoyed spending time with my dad today. Managed to find a puddle in a rock formation that was amazing. Sometimes you just need to get away from the traffic and remember what it’s like to be in the quiet.

Without Roe v. Wade, I wouldn’t have finished school. Without Roe v. Wade, I wouldn’t be free from my abuser. Without Roe v. Wade, I wouldn’t have gotten healthy and gotten help. Without Roe v. Wade, I wouldn’t have the success I’ve had in educating young minds to think for themselves.
I’ve never openly talked about this, just close friends and family; I had an abortion over nine years ago. I was told that medically I was unable to have a healthy pregnancy. Mentally, I was so unstable that the devastation of trying to keep it and losing it would probably kill me. Being able to talk to my doctor and a counselor at planned parenthood was the best thing for someone who was lost and in an abusive relationship. I was emaciated and incredibly depressed.
I’m finally comfortable and ready to say, I did what I did for my physical and mental safety and as hard as it was, as much as I was criticized and demoralized for it, and for as hard as it was to find a way to be myself again, I know it was the right decision. Please keep things like that in mind. The hurt of feeling isolated because you chose to end a pregnancy for your health because of religious reasons is excruciating. I’m not just pro-choice but I’m pro-circumstances. Not every situation fits a box to check. Thank you for attending my tedtalk.
