Growing up, I was one of those hardcore feminist girls…believed that a woman had the right to do whatever she pleased… My life and the circumstances, I grew up in made me tough… What I called a strong, independent woman…

In high school, my girlfriends had started having sex and the conversation of pregnancy often came up… I remember we as a group, we would all agree on this line, “If I fall pregnant before I’m married, I’d have an abortion”.

Those were our exact words… spoken with so much confidence… We could handle anything…and abortion would be the least of our worries…

Sitting here now, I can’t believe how naive and ignorant I was…
