I was cleaning my bedroom this past weekend, reorganizing the boxes in my closet, and I found my ultrasound picture. All of the emotions I felt that day came flooding back. I don’t mind others' opinions about what I chose to do, I already feel a certain way. This is my story of what happened, and the days leading up to it. It changed my life forever, and it altered my view on abortion forever. I just hate that it took me choosing to lose my child to see it this way.
