I did not know this for a few weeks however, and was grateful to have Planned Parenthood there for me to have a normal abortion. I went, and because it was not in my uterus, they couldn’t find it and I left perplexed and upset. For the next two months I was monitored closely by my gynecologist to figure out what was going on because I was definately pregnant. But there was no sign of anything inside me. I ended up having to take chemotherapy to kill it (just one shot) and it worked. My HCG levels began to fall and I just had to pass it. Except, it was not that easy. On the Saturday after this, I guess it had gotten too big by then so my tube began to rupture as I was finally miscarrying. I ended up in the emergency room in the most intense pain of my life (minus breaking my leg when I was 14) and having to recieve emergency surgery and get my tube removed. Conclusion of this story is: pregnancy is COMPLICATED. Getting pregnant is a risk to any woman. It’s DANGEROUS. I was put in the most vulnerable position of my life and, if I had not had options, I would have been in an even worse state than I was (which was already terribly low). I am happy to say I am better now, but spending over two months with somthing inside me that I didn’t want there was close to unbearable. I cried every day. I thought about hurting myself (which I never did). I had to study for finals, but I had to go to the doctor so much I had to miss parts of class. Or, if I made it to class, I was so over-whelmed by my situation I would sit in class in tears hoping no one would notice. No woman should have to go through what I went through. Having no control over your own body is having no control over your life. The feeling of powerlessness I felt cascaded me into a very deep depression. But, I thank powerful women for fighting for me and my right to my own body. I am so happy this forum is committed to sharing stories of women taking control of their own lives. Keep fighting the good fight. xoxo</span></p>http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/27088378680http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/27088378680Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:48:00 -0400abortionpro-choicecourageproMYlifereproductive rightsreproductive healthreproductive justicefeminismfeministObama Caredemocracydemocracticwomenwomen's rightswomen's issueshealthbirth controlpoliticsectopic pregnancypregnancyunwanted pregnancy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m70s82Vsh71rp0mtio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>REMEMBER THIS.</p>http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/27010463732http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/27010463732Wed, 11 Jul 2012 19:36:00 -0400Mitt Romneyabortionpro-choicepro-lifewomen's rightswomenwomen's issuespoliticsfreedomdemocracyvotingreproductive justicereproductive healthhealthfeminismfeministbirth controlpregnancyunwanted pregnancy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6yowlrrTk1rp0mtio1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>May we dispel…</p>http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/26925003259http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/26925003259Tue, 10 Jul 2012 16:29:09 -0400abortionpro-choicewomenwomen's rightsreproductive rightsfreedomdemocracypoliticswar on womenunitewomen.orgunite womenpregnancyunwanted pregnancysexbirth controlhuman rightsjusticetruth<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6x9lmgNhd1rp0mtio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>But seriously.</p>http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/26874339002http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/26874339002Mon, 09 Jul 2012 22:00:58 -0400abortionpro-choicewomenwomen's rightsreproductive rightsdemocracyfreedompregnancyunwanted pregnancyfeministfeminismequalityhuman rightshumor<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6x177OvXq1rp0mtio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Women are people?  Who knew.  </p>http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/26862194132http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/26862194132Mon, 09 Jul 2012 18:59:31 -0400pro-choicewomenwomen's rightsquality of lifehappinesschoicedemocracypolitical activismreproductive rightsabortionpregnancy<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6x129yy8d1rp0mtio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>You are not alone.  I, too, am 1 in 3.  </p>http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/26862000033http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/26862000033Mon, 09 Jul 2012 18:56:33 -0400abortionkindnesspro-choicewomenwomen's rightsreproductive rightspregnancychoicefreedomdemocracypromylife<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ibc3HklH1rp0mtio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Click <a href="http://www.psychologyofwomen.com/blog/promylife-juliana-tyson-campaigns-for-change/" title="cpow blog interview">HERE</a> and read an AWESOME interview about me and the proMYlife campaign (via Center for the Psychology of Women Blog)!</p>http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/24952238931http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/24952238931Tue, 12 Jun 2012 09:40:51 -0400abortionpromylifeprochoicecenter for the psychology of womencpowbirth controlwomen's issueswomen's rightspsychologywomenreproductive rightshealthwar on womenstorytelling<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4oqkxVm6r1rp0mtio1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Oh how I love a pun.</p>http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/23861775566http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/23861775566Sun, 27 May 2012 10:22:09 -0400Mitt Romneywar on womenabortionpro-choicebirth controlwomenreproductive rightsfeminismfeministslutssluts votewomen's rightsrepublicansRepublican Partydemocratsreligion<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4nrmzm98L1rp0mtio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2012/05/26/bbc-broadcasts-live-from-an-abortion-clinic-and-no-one-gets-hurt/">BBC Broadcasts Live From An Abortion Clinic, And No One Gets Hurt : Ms. Magazine Blog</a></p>http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/23833919018http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/23833919018Sat, 26 May 2012 21:47:23 -0400abortionBBCpro-choicewomen's rightsfeminismfeministwar on womenwomenreproductive rightsMs. Magazine<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m45nyhZKNe1rp0mtio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Bam.</p>http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/23218580873http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/23218580873Thu, 17 May 2012 03:11:05 -0400birth controlabortionprochoicewomenwomen's rightshuman rightsfeminismfeministreligionreligious freedombarack obama<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3s4v6SgeI1rp0mtio1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>No, he certainly didn’t.  </p>http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/22745676363http://courageouscampaign.tumblr.com/post/22745676363Wed, 09 May 2012 19:49:54 -0400womenJesusabortionbirth controlhuman rightscivil rightshealthhealth caresexsexualityfeminismfeministwomen's rightsreproductive rightsChristianity<p>Glad to support the sharing of stories, ESPECIALLY on this topic.
