My great-grandmother was around 12 when her sister, a young, married, abused mother of four, hemorrhaged to death while sleeping beside her. It was the result of an illegal abortion. She had no choice. No control. No safe access, contraception, or way out. Her name was Agnes.
Almost 60 years ago, my mother had an illegal abortion. It was too harrowing for her to discuss, but she made sure I knew it had happened. In 2010, my wife had a legal abortion after we found out her pregnancy was not viable. We cannot and will not go back. #YouKnowMe #YouKnowUs

Same here. My mom almost died from a Tijuana abortion and we grew up knowing what happened and that no women should die to have a child they don't want. I grew up knowing that it wasn't something to be ashamed of and yet we're forced to justify our reasons
