"He Forced Me to Get an Abortion"

The photo and story below were originally posted by Exposures, "a photojournalism initiative created to share the stories we all have about abortion and its impact on our lives."

"I had an abortion about two years ago. I had just found out I was pregnant, so I told my boyfriend. When I told him, he forced me to get an abortion. His dad was a lawyer, and he said he would sue me if I didn't get rid of the baby. I was 19, nervous, and a lawsuit really scared me. "I'm okay now. My mom and sister really helped me through it. "Wow, I've never talked about this before." #tempe #portrait #story #exposuresproject
