Stories from Oregon

• It was easy to get caught up in my anger at him. It was easier than thinking about the abortion and how painful that experience was.
• Then, when pregnant with the babies I wanted, they were now BABIES!!!!
• It's not something I'm embarrassed about. I just wish it were something that people could talk about more freely.
• We named him, oddly enough. Dante. Its a good name. He's a picture and a memory.
• I have chosen my life, and maybe that is selfish... but maybe it is one of the most powerful gifts to myself as well.
• In the country where I was living, abortion was illegal and punishable by 10 years in prison.
• 15 minutes after I took the pill, I started cramping really bad. I locked myself in my room and eventually fell asleep.
• It's only been two days, and I'm sure these feelings will pass, but more than anything, I was surprised at having any emotional reaction at all.
• Silence and stillness wrap around my days.
