#YouKnowMe

#YouKnowMe: I am so angered that I felt compelled to share my story among the online Twitter #YouKnowMe thread. I NEVER SHARE MY STORY BUT THINGS ARE GETTING CRAZY! 1 in 4 women have had an abortion. Including me. I’m not ashamed but it’s a choice between a woman, her doctor, and whatever God she prays to. So I didn’t feel it was anyone’s business plus it’s still an emotional touchy subject for me. No women’s birth control is 100 % percent effective. I have a brain tumor and hormones could cause my tumor to grow. I got pregnant while I had an IUD forcing me to terminate my WANTED pregnancy due to my 4cm brain tumor growing back since they weren’t able to remove it only reduce it 2 cm pressing on my brain stem. My tumor is connected to a facial blood vessel so I have been fighting the complications that come with having a tumor for ten years. I had to think of my health and my girls. It was hard and difficult and stays with me everyday. If you don’t believe in abortion, then don’t have one! But I am tired of a bunch of Republican men telling me what to do with my body while there are ZERO consequences for men!  

We need to educate our young women applying to colleges in these states but mostly boycott University of Alabama and any other state with these laws!

Update: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK!  My story was posted on Pantsuit Nation where 8,000 people liked it. Over 100 shared it. Let me clarify a few things so I don’t have to keep repeating myself. As the mother of two girls I think we should be educating our sons and daughters about NOT attending ANY schools in states that support these abortion laws. Period, point, blank!
