My Story:

I came from a very traditional, quite religious upbringing. I was staunchly pro life and would regularly advocate for women learning to be more responsible. I call this the before. Before my daughter the light of my life became pregnant after her prom night, when she was lied to about contraception. Not quickly, but very steadily I realized the importance of her having the opportunity to live her normal life, to be a teenager, to have an option where a previous choice was taken away from her. Now I fiercely stand behind wanting everyone to have those options, those choices, those decisions that only they can and should make for themselves.
