“The suggested solutions for ending a pregnancy were dangerous. Only impulsive girls prone to risk-taking would attempt them. I picked one and followed through.” - Elizabeth Broadbent
I didn’t need a test to confirm it; my cycle ran regular as a clock. Nausea had kicked in, and terror rushed behind. I was a cradle Catholic. My mother and her friends spoke of pregnant girls in hushed, embarrassed tones. Some girls I knew hid their pregnancies for a full nine months, then placed their babies for adoption. Some kept their children and lived as pitiable dependents. Some were sent away to maternity homes. One was expelled from Catholic school.
Despite my untreated ADHD, I’d earned acceptance to graduate school. A baby didn’t fit into my academic future.But I had $20 to my name. I had no ride to an abortion clinic — and even if I had, in that time and place, abortions cost money I didn’t have. Then , pregnant girls were on their own. I couldn’t tell my friends. I couldn’t tell anyone. In my impulsive desperation, I dove headlong into Google.
