#ShoutYourAbortion #StandWithPP I've had 3 abortions and have held onto shame since I was 14. I am 43 now. My shame and silence ends today.

My abortion was in 2008. It saved my life and allowed me to escape an abusive, emotionally and physically violent man. #ShoutYourAbortion

I've never wanted to have children, so I had an abortion. I'm thriving, without guilt, without shame, without apologies. #ShoutYourAbortion

18 & broke + pregnant = bad. Abortion + 3yrs later + married + stable job = a great life for my baby. #ShoutYourAbortion

The campaign to defund PP "relies on the assumption that abortion is to be whispered about." #ShoutYourAbortion  

My abortion was in '10 & the career I've built since then fulfills me & makes me better able to care for kids I have now. #ShoutYourAbortion 

I've had 2 abortions. I don't have to justify or explain them to anybody. My life is more valuable than a potential life. #shoutyourabortion

My abortion was 19 yr ago. I was a recovering drug addict. I would've made a terrible mother now I'm an amazing one #ShoutYourAbortion

When I found out I was preg, I knew abortion wasn't for me but I would never tell another woman what to do with HER body #ShoutYourAbortion 

I often wonder why anti abortioners don't devote their energy to helping kids who have been born instead. #ShoutYourAbortion

My heart seriously hurts. How can people really be okay with #ShoutYourAbortion ? I'm so disappointed in our society  

2pac said it best. "Since a man can't make one, he has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one" #ShoutYourAbortion 

Ladies, there are so many wonderful ways to celebrate being a strong independent & intelligent woman, #ShoutYourAbortion is not one of them.
