I was not old enough to get my ears pierced or a tattoo but at 16 & then again 17 I had 2 in Louisiana. I’m catholic – I knew killing a child was wrong but I was told it wasn’t a baby yet it was just tissue at this stage . That was great news especially for the 2nd abortion which I hid from the father . . .

5 years ago after our 21 year old son died I told him about the 2nd abortion. He broke down. I was misinformed and was ignorant of a lot of things. But I started to realize I had a lot of healing ahead. Everyone including I was complicit but I would’ve wanted to know the truth. Everyone was complicit including the state. My sister who’s 10 years older than me had 2 as well . She is so out of reality now & it’s the abortion that she suffers the most from.
