        She agreed to go to a therapist for the first time. I used funds from the HONY Patreon to purchase ten sessions, and will cover much more if she finds value in them.

        This is why abortion needs to be legal. This woman was brutalized by men she should have been able to trust. This behavior happens w/ impunity in a world run by men for men.

        So all you got from her story was why abortion should be made legal?? How about speaking on the need for there to be a stronger support system for young people who go through such harrowing experiences? The first thing out of your mouth is how to make murder legal. Really sad!

        That is too huge a load for one woman to carry 💔💔I hope at some point she heals and finds at least one person whom she will feel is by her side completely. To have absolutely no one in this world is quite the punishment

        Different ideological leaning on abortion (Life v. Choice). Aside the abortion, a strong support system could have helped her overcome the trauma early enough.
