I almost had an abortion

When I found out I was pregnant I was already 16 weeks and I was in the worst spot in my life. Emotionally, mentally, physically. I was depressed, I wasn’t eating most days and could barely take care of myself. Finding out I was pregnant made me feel worse. I didn’t want to have a baby especially when my bf (baby daddy) was cheating on me. I knew I had to make a decision fast. So I called my local PPH and made an appointment for an abortion. Planned parenthood is not evil, they are not monsters. They supported me, they gave me all the resources I needed to make a decision. They even recommended a mental health counselor that ultimately lead me to decide, I wanted to keep my baby.

I want everyone to realize that I had a CHOICE. No one was making that decision for me. Not the doctors, or my therapist, not the father of my child, and definitely not the government. It’s been really upsetting seeing everything going on with abortion bans and that these men, who have proven to know absolutely nothing abt the women reproductive system, are taking away our right to our own body.

Being pro-choice does not equal pro-abortion, again, BEING PRO-CHOICE DOES NOT EQUAL PRO-ABORTION.

And don’t comment that complaining abt it online won’t do anything or that you’re tired of the subject. Because if you don’t have a problem with the new bans then you need a reality check.
