Marcia A’s Story

I was in my 20s, had a 6-month-old baby, and was married to an alcoholic womanizer who was abusive.  The doctor was trying to find a birth control pill that worked for me.  I was trying to find a way out of the marriage for me and my daughter.  Forced sex is one of the worst experiences and then when you find out you are pregnant you feel helpless.  I went to planned parenthood for my exam when I got pregnant and eventually went to the same doctor who delivered my daughter for the procedure.  I am a pro-life and pro-choice Christian.  I absolutely believe every woman should have complete control of her body.  We must protect all women.
