If all parties involved do not consent to unprotected sex, it absolutely is sexual assault! “In the United States, the definition of sexual assault varies widely among the individual states. However, in most states sexual assault occurs when there is lack of consent from one of the individuals involved. Consent must take place between two adults who are not incapacitated and consent may change, by being withdrawn, at any time during the sexual act.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_assault

I had a baby at 15. I understand your pain and fear. I had my own. My mother said she would support my choice until I said I wanted my baby. Then I was told to find another place to live. (You see my two other older sisters had already had abortions) I love my now 32 year old daughter she has given me two wonderful grandsons. But I do believe it's a hard choice to make and on either side women need support. No matter what. Choosing to keep or end is so hard outside critical opinions is just toxic. I guess I'm just trying to say support your fellow woman. We need each other either way. Today is definitely a dark day for our future.

Thank you so much for sharing your story! You are so lucky you had a compassionate mom that supported you. When my ex got me pregnant at 17, from the second I found out I was pregnant, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was no way my mom would let me get an abortion because she's an extremely religious woman, and to this day, maintains a strict pro-birther stance. It was my senior year of high school, I had already been accepted into a prestigious university, and I was valedictorian of my school. Everyone had such high expectations of me, and I knew that I didn't want to have a baby with my ex, especially not at that time. I was terrified, but I think my mom had some inkling that I was pregnant, based on the weird questions she'd ask me, and the way she'd gotten my sister to pry and ask me why I was 'acting weird'. I ended up miscarrying at 9 weeks, and I passed it off as an extremely heavy period. To this day, I'm pretty sure my mom thinks she just misinterpreted what she saw, and that I was never really pregnant at that time, and I still haven't told her the truth.

Had it between my oldest and youngest, it was my choice I had just finished college and was not in any place to have two kids at the time, I barely was able to support my first without the help of my family. This decision is by far the worst thing for all women whether you agree with it or not at the end of the day it doesn’t effect your personal life, it doesn’t effect your family, and if you think this is an issue you need to go out and adopt 5 kids in foster care because be ready to watch so many more babies end up in the system. A lot of these people that voted to overturn aren’t pro life they are pro birth because the moment you have a child you know you can’t emotionally and financially raise they will make you feel worse for wanting a “hand out” from welfare.

To anyone reading these comments who has had an abortion, considering one or whatever, I went to catholic school for 13 years and still practice as a catholic. It took me a really long time to decide what my stance was on abortion. I've come to the conclusion that I don't want people to get abortions, but the right to one shouldn't be taken away from those who need one or wants one. Do not let any religion hold you back from what you need or want, that is not what God wants you to do. Speaking as a catholic, I love you and support you with whatever you want to do with your body. I encourage you all to look up what your state's laws are regarding abortions. Just because this passed, doesn't mean that you no longer can get one, it just means that it's up to the states to decide. You still can get abortions, it may just be a bit more difficult. And if you're so confused and flustered, please message me because I will do all the work for you.

Either way my Nan would have lost her mother and had of lived with her alcoholic abusive father, but at least if she had of lived she could have still grown up knowing her mother. I just keep thinking about that, I wonder what this will mean for so many people with uteruses (I am using that term to include trans men and gender diverse people). I wonder what it will mean for all the children who will now be born into poverty, into abuse and neglect because they were unwanted or seen as a burden. What that will mean for families of the people who’s rights have now been taken away. What will it mean for the hospital system, the mental health system, the foster system? As I said I’m in Australia, so I don’t know what I can do, but please believe me when I say that there are many people in the world who are outraged for the people of America and there are many people in the world who carry you all in our hearts.

The Supreme Court is ONLY about enforcing and supporting whatever is protected in the Constitution. EVERYTHING that is not talked about in the Constitution is a States Rights issue and always has been since the 1700s. The Supreme court is just returning the rights to all 50 states. States can then have their own laws based on their constituency. So it was a return to what is LEGAL Federally and what's not...its a correction...thats plain...but not simple.

They didn't ask you to be brought into existence just so you could kill them. They didn't ask for that. YOU did that. You engaged in an activity that you KNEW could end with the possibility of getting pregnant and you did it anyways. Why didn't you mention THAT choice? Why couldn't have you kept your legs closed if you knew you wanted to end the lives of your unborn children, should you have gotten pregnant? Instead, you CHOSE to involve them by being irresponsible and they paid the ultimate price for it. YOU did that. And THAT is what you're advocating for. For people to choose to involve innocent lives in their irresponsible actions and then make the INNOCENT pay with their own LIVES because you and all other abortion advocates don't want accountability. Don't make this into some miracle story. This story is a tragedy. They didn't need to be a part of this but you forced them to be. That is disgusting and you know it.

Thank you for sharing your story Laura. You're absolutely right. It doesn't matter why you need an abortion. It's your body, your home, and should always be your choice. Never do we as humans need to give up our bodies to support another human. Not even after we die and our organs could be used to support someone else. Now human corpses have more rights than humans with uteruses! Not even that, but think of the implications for ectopic pregnancy when medical intervention can only be made when a health professional can see that you are actively dying, or a fetus who has developed without life sustaining organs and being made to carry the baby to full term instead of being able to make the decision to move on and heal. It enrages and disgusts me on this decision around abortion being made by people who are not even close to being health professionals!!

I delivered my daughter when I was 15, and I got pregnant with her when I was 14. After the first time I had sex. My daughter’s bio father has never been involved or helped at all, what so ever. He’s been incarcerated and addicted and dealing drugs ever since I had became pregnant. I graduated high school a year later than I should have. I became a CNA, LPN, etc. Now my oldest daughter is 10 1/2 years old, and loved dearly. Her step dad loves and protects her along with her younger siblings. I homeschool my kids, and stay home with her. No, my life at home was NOT good. I struggled, but by the grace of God, overcame. And I could not imagine life without my precious little girl.❤️

Back in 2012 my mother who was 42 at the time , I was 20 . My mother went to the dr to get her iud checked, and somehow it moved and in the next month she got pregnant 🤦🏼♀️ my mother came clean about it when she was 6 weeks and I was happy about it … then she dropped the bomb 💣 “I don’t want this Baby , you are 20 already and in college why would I want to start over all over again ? We have a great life just me and you and I feel too old for a kid and I don’t want anything serious with the father of this baby . “ I instantly told her , mom let’s keep it I can help you with it , she said no 👎, then I told her just give it to me i Can raise it as mine I promise , she said no 👎 she then said you either help me get rid of it or watch me and shut up about it . We live in Arizona and we are next to the border with Mexico . We went to Mexico and asked a lady pharmacist and she gave us the shots and the pills to do it at home since the pregnancy was really in a really early stage , the lady of course tought i was the pregnant one since my mom was older. She kept looking at me constantly with a judging stare we paid around 90 dlls for everything back in 2012. We went home and I sat next to my mother and asked her once again if she was sure and she said yes , I had to prepare myself for the next step which was actually applying the two shots to my mom and then helping her with the pills inside of her . It was really hard for me but I respected her choice , and o had to support and help her no matter what , because I know that if it had been me she would have done the same for me . It all happened fast and I couldn’t sleep at all . I felt this guilt in my heart that I couldn’t get rid of , but I seeing the relief in my mothers eyes made it go away. It was her choice not mine , but as a woman I had to support her not judge her . Much respect for you Laura for being that strong at 15 ❤️ love and light your way !

My mom, a God fearing Christian woman, was the second person I told about my abortion. The first was my friend who went in the clinic with me. My mom died with my secret 2 years ago.... she was my best friend. I thought she would hate me for making this decision with her only grand child she'd get from me.... but she looked at me and said, "I gave already accepted that your kitties are the only grandchildren I'm getting from you. I'm glad you told me, mija. You know I will always love you, no matter what." Consent plays a huge role in things. And my mom didn't know what happened when I told her initially, her love never changed. When I told her what happened, her love never changed. That woman showed me unconditional love. God's love, from the moment I was a twinkle in her eye. Seems your mom had the same love for you. ❤

Laura I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE EXACT SAME THING..I TOO WAS 15...I was so terrified I couldn't eat sleep..just like u I was barely passing school i was a rebel etc ...the guy however Wanted ..no..DEMANDED AND THREATEN ME that I need to keep the baby..he was 20...I was 15..it was illegal with our age differences for one thing..and secondly he poured the whole "I'm a devout catholic we don't believe in abortions ". Now I never judge or hate on ANYBODYS religion but how devout can u be to have sex with a 15 yr old while almost blacked out but still amazingly coherent n willing? Anyways he threatened to tell everyone our families my friends just everyone....but I knew this was MY DECISION and I knew yes it was partially or ALL my fault for being careless sexually and yes I felt bad because I didn't want to abort a living being aka my child BUT I WAS 15. I couldn't have this child nor give it up for adoption which maybe to some would of been more considerate but I wasn't legal to buy cigarettes yet let alone raise or have a baby. I didn't tell my mom n I wanted to so badly aside from telling my best friend... after the procedure I was in a lil pain cried on my bed n my mom came in...and said " I know what happened...I was a snoop after weeks of noticing your mood your appetite and being on the phone crying n missing school " she figured it out by listening in on a call I had with my best friend n found out that way. She said she chose not to pry because she knew I was terrified but would have helped me n been there if I needed her and that she was prepared with hugs n kisses and support when I got home. It's definitely scary but from that day on I chose to tell my mom anything and everything

Thank you for sharing your story. I can’t believe that this is happening, it feels like we just went a whole step backwards. I knew someone who had an abortion at around 14/15 years old. She also did it alone, never told her parents, and the guy was much older than her and took advantage. She didn’t come from a supportive family. She was a child herself and couldn’t support herself and a child. Thankfully she’s in a caring relationship now and is doing great but I can’t imagine what would have happened if she didn’t have the access to one.

On a positive note! -- this will definitely force / ENCOURAGE people to pay attention to and vote for their own local government leaders whose values align with their own. Super important. Overall I feel that less federal oversight and control is best. Each state can gear their laws towards what their people want. Which is the goal of this design. I won't go into my own past, as I feel each person's individual story is just too super unique to them. We have to think more general and broad. I feel like this legislative decision will at least cut out all of the extreme corruption and money ties in the abortion sector. It's bad. If you believe the government cares about your health and well-being you are really going to have a hard time one day when you finally wake up. It's not about women. And it's not about babies. It's about money.

He decided to follow her beliefs and started posting about how unChristian abortion is and those that do it are murderers. I’ve refused to speak to him the last four years.

I personally couldn't get an abortion myself(my heart wouldn't allow it and thankfully was never in a position where I had to consider it). BUT, my younger sister got pregnant several times around ages 16, & 17(I don't know exactly cuz I wasn't with her unfortunately). We grew up without a mother after I was 12 and she was 5. She and my brother lived with my father only(when she was of dating age), so he didn't tell my sister about birth control. Yes, school does to a certain extent but that isn't enough. A girl needs her mother to tell her. I DO believe a woman should have the right to choose. What if a woman was raped? Let alone a "girl"(as many have periods at younger and younger ages). This is SO disappointing.

Thank you so much. I've been considering telling my story. My baby was passed for three weeks. The hospitals here are all Catholic and would not take him. I got incredible sick. Doctors were insistent that I give birth to him but I wouldn't go into labor. I went to an abortion clinic and they took him. At that time I found out he was not well formed and I suppose that is why he didn't survive. But, Missouri would have made me give birth to him. In a body that is covered on the inside with scare tissue, a body that held that corpse with scar tissue in my uterus for almost a month, and I nearly died. It's not quite the same as everyone else's but there are many reasons why abortion should (as of writing this) be legalized again.

Where they cared when it was in your body then they don't care about your body, or its after it's born. It's a personal issue, that the government shouldn't dictate for all.

I really appreciate you talking about your experience. The more we share our stories, the more people can start seeing abortion in a different light. I personally know how hard of a choice it is to make, although my abortion story is much different. Many women share stories similar to ours and now won't have the choice whether or not they want to have an abortion. My story: I was 15 weeks pregnant with my (supposed to be) 2nd baby. Well one morning I woke up and had a LOT of blood and I was cramping I also was extremely nauseous but my doctor had checked me like 2 days before and she said everything seemed ok. So I decided to wait a bit and see if it would pass... Well it started getting worse and worse to a point I could barely walk without vomiting because it hurt so bad.... So I called my doc and she got me into her office almost immediately for an emergency check up, and at the appointment they couldn't find it's heartbeat using either the belly or the Doppler so they scheduled me to go into the hospital in the morning for a vaginal ultrasound (we lived in a small town so all the bigger, more advanced equipment was at the hospital) where they found an extremely faint heartbeat..... But my doctor told me basically that the baby was slowly dying inside of me and causing my body to reject it..... She gave me two options but stressed that the first one was the best, safest option for me; 1. I could have an abortion and terminate the pregnancy before the baby dies or kills me while trying to die.... Or 2.) Wait it out and see if the baby can pass naturally but that could take a day, or a month... I asked her again what her suggestion was and she didn't hesitate to tell me that she would have me in surgery the same day if it were her choice. I couldn't make that choice right then and there so I went home........ What was I supposed to do? I wanted the baby sooooo much, but the fetus was killing me slowly. I debated for 2 days, in horrible pain just puking any time I'd move and I couldn't even eat or drink anything so I was often just puking nothing..... Until ok day 2 I was puking up some water I'd tried to drink and I looked up and saw my 2 year old son and he looked so worried and patted my back and it all hit me. I didn't want to die and leave my already born child motherless. I didn't want the fetus inside of me to die slowly just because I was holding out hope that it could be my baby one day. I called my doctor and got scheduled for the next morning...... After the surgery when the nurse asked me how I felt I said empty because I did. Not just physically but emotionally as well.... Everything hurt. I wanted that baby, but it wasn't meant to be ... My heart BREAKS for girls and women in situations like the ones we went through, as now many states won't allow them that very choice that could have changed the course of our lives forever. Women and young girls are going to die or kill themselves because of this. Society is regressing....... Oh and just for a happy note, I have 2 beautiful children and now have my tubes tied..... Which is another thing; I almost wasn't allowed to get it. They asked my (now ex) boyfriend for permission and he said "woah, it's her body" and his (doctor) reply was "yeah but you may want more kids" 🤢🤢🤢 Yet a man could walk into his doctor at 18 and get a vasectomy🤦🏼♀️

I thought we were progressing, but clearly we're not! Now most states don't even have a rape, incest or even health exception!!! Thank you for sharing your very candid personal story Laura! Your mom is amazing! ❤️

Laura you said you don' t know what your life would have been if the baby had been born. I think it would have been much different, and maybe much better. You probably wouldn't be crying now...
