“When I had my abortions I was very alone. I sat alone in the dark many nights wondering about the life I wanted and needed to have to prove to myself having those abortions would be ‘worth it.’ Abortion stigma told me I needed to prove I was worthy of living the life I wanted.
When I reflect now, I am grateful for the strength I had then and continue having to live. I am at peace with my decision to have had multiple abortions be a catalyst to live the life I’ve always wanted. I am strong. I am confident. I am everything I’ve ever wanted to be and have always been even when I didn’t believe in myself.” – Stephanie
