I was 15 and from a very religious dysfunctional family. I had an 18 year old boyfriend who convinced me to smoke pot then have unprotected sex. I just wanted love from any male. So 1974, Roe vs Wade changed everything with abortion. I kept throwing up and losing weight. I was too naive to understand. My parents put me in the hospital, Dr did a pregnancy test. Of course I was pregnant, but because of my fear and being naive I was “late term”. So my parents talked to planned parenthood and I was on a plane to a clinic in New York City for a late term abortion: The details are too horrible to tell. I was 15 then, 64 now: never got over it, countless therapists. Ruined my life.
