Women's Voices
Maybe you've faced an unplanned pregnancy. Maybe you've had trouble getting a prescription filled (watch the video!). Maybe you simply agree that reproductive rights are human rights. You’ve had unique experiences, and telling your story makes the pro-choice movement stronger.
Stories
Andrea, 42
In 2002 my life was saved by an emergency abortion and surgery at a city hospital in NYC. I was uninsured and bleeding to death from an ectopic pregnancy.
Belladonna, 56
After two live births and one miscarriage, I tried to have a third child. After four sequential miscarriages, I had had enough.
Jamie, 35
In 2007, I was diagnosed with HELLP in my 5th month of a wanted pregnancy. Because my body was not responding to the labor inducing drugs so I could deliver my daughter, my body was dying quickly.
Kristina, 63
In May of 1980 I discovered that I was pregnant with what would have been my second child. I started spotting on a Thursday, and saw my Doctor on Friday.
Maria, 27
I've never needed an abortion, but if I were to become pregnant I would be forced to choose between having an abortion to survive, or dying with my unborn fetus. I have a health issue that makes it impossible for me to carry a pregnancy to term.
