When I found out I was pregnant, I had not been functioning properly for years. I had been cycling through college semesters in manic and depressive phases and I was approaching rock bottom. There was no question that I was going to have an abortion and I have never questioned my decision before or after. My abortion was the beginning of the path that led me to get my life on track, reconnect with my partner, finish college, go to law school and start my family. My abortion embodied the self-determination through bodily autonomy that my dad, an abortion provider in central and south Texas had dedicated his life to and had raised me to believe in.
