The recent legislation in Missouri, Georgia, Alabama and Ohio has many women opening up about their life experiences and why abortion is an absolutely necessary procedure.
Enter meowmeowmeow07 on Twitter, who calls herself Brie. She shared an extraordinarily intimate and personal story recently about an abusive ex who tried to trap her with a baby by poking holes in the condoms they were using.
And it gets worse…
Part one
When I was 17 years old, I had a boyfriend. The second time we ever had sex, he poked a hole into his condom behind my back. This resulted in my pregnancy.
I was 17 years old. I was terrified. After a store bought pregnancy test showed I was positive I went to my boyfriends (1)

Part two
screamed with glee and told me that he had intentionally gotten me pregnant so he could “lock me in” because he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me.
I was confused & scared. I didn’t know how to act. I was 17 years old. My friend urged me to go to a women’s clinic (2)

Part three
to make sure. Little did we know that this “women’s clinic” was owned by Christians. They proceeded to tell me that if I killed my baby, I would be a murderer, and murderers go to hell. I was 17 years old.
My friend took my hand and dragged me out of that clinic (3)

Part four
In order for me to get the procedure as a 17 year old without parental consent, I had to go in front of a judge who would grant me my rights to an abortion as long as I wasn’t using it as a means for birth control. I was granted my rights.
I took the day off of school and my(4)

friend drove me to the abortion clinic. This procedure took all of 5 minutes. There was no baby to remove and dismantle. There wasn’t even a fetus. It was an embryo that took 5 minutes and no blood shed to remove.
I went home and through confusion, a lot of tears and pure (5)

Part six
support from my friend, I tried to continue on with my 17 year old life. Shortly after I had time to think about what had actually happened, I broke up with him. He proceeded to pull a knife on me, but he cut his wrists instead.
He said if he can’t have me, he doesn’t want (6)

Part seven
to live. I was 17 years old. My parents who found out about my abortion and what he had done to me banned him from my house. For 10 years after, he stalked me. He showed up at my work. He knew how to get my new cell phone number I constantly had to change because of him. (7)

Part eight
It was only when the police arrested him for stalking that he left me alone. I thank God everyday that I don’t have his child. That he wasn’t allowed to “lock me in.” He is a psychopath and I would hate myself if I had brought an actual living and breathing child into this (8)

world with him as their father. I believe he would have killed us.
I’ve never spoken on this publicly. It has caused me pain and embarrassment, but if my story helps one person out there, then that means more to me than my pain. This is bigger than I am. (9)

Part ten
To the girls and women in Ohio, Georgia and Alabama and more states to come, I am with you. I will never stop fighting for your rights as a HUMAN. Stay strong and never be ashamed of who you are and what you do with your own body. (10)

And people definitely had similar stories…
Omg! When I was 15, my abusive ex also intentionally impregnated me. Told everyone he did it on purpose so that no one else would want me ? She’s 10 now, and i love her dearly! He’s off somewhere not paying child support or contributing to her life what-so-ever.

And showed support…
This is the point so many ppl don’t get: the right of choosing! I’m so glad you’re not using your experience to tell other women what to do and I’m sorry you went through this!

Shout out to your friend for that level of support at that age. Friendships like that during traumatic times is so essential. So glad you made it through. Blessings ?

Seriously, people actually believe that it’s okay to trick people into MAKING AN ENTIRE PERSON?
