I was surprised by how many supportive women & men told me their stories after the show. Here’s mine. I was 18 and 19 years old and was on the pill both times. Still, I became pregnant. I was struggling to support myself at the time, and had a life long medical condition that immediately qualified me as a “high risk” pregnancy. I knew carrying a baby to term could potentially cause irreversible damage to my body without the proper pre-natal and medical care. I sobbed uncontrollably as I walked through a crowd of self righteous people telling me I was evil and damned forever for my choice, even though I knew it was what was best for my life and my health at the time. It fu**ed me up spiritually and emotionally for a LONG time even though it was the right choice. I got pregnant again a few years later by a man who fled the country after I told him. I was a bit older, but no more stable in life and I knew I couldn’t bear the emotional turmoil of having another #abortion, and I was past 7 weeks when I found out, so I went the adoption route, which also broke my heart because I already loved my unborn child so deeply, but knew I couldn’t provide him the life he deserved. It was a difficult pregnancy - I developed preeclampsia in the last trimester and couldn’t work, and it caused some permanent damage to my eyes due to my T1D. 3 weeks before I gave birth, the adoptive family I had chosen backed out because I wanted to have an open adoption. So, with no other options, I kept my son with no money, no father, no child support, no stable place to live. I was blessed by an incredible stroke of luck on American idol that gave me a viable career and income, but this is NOT the case for most women. I have no regrets and I am happy that the choice, ALL OF THESE CHOICES, were MINE to make. I love my son to infinity and back. I’m glad things have turned out this way, but don’t fu**ing tell me what is right for my life if you haven’t lived it.」5月18日 5時22分
