Jamie Otis Shared Her Experience Of Having Two Abortions In An Honest Essay
:"My siblings and I would wake up with no heat, no electricity and no food half the time because my mom couldn’t afford us all. We lived in a trailer that had leaky ceilings with doors that wouldn’t shut all the way and windows that were duct-taped. But the hardest part was that my mom was gone. She left us for weeks at a time and we were just teenagers and kids fending for ourselves."
As a result, when Jamie became pregnant aged 18 with the first man she'd ever had sex with, she was terrified of repeating the same cycle of abusive relationships and poverty she'd endured, and so chose to have an abortion.She explained:"My mom had gotten pregnant and dropped out of high school, had a baby, chose to be with abusive men and live on welfare.
Then, a few years later, while she was studying to become a nurse, Jamie became pregnant again and elected to have a second abortion."I don’t even want to admit that it happened twice," she wrote,"But here I am sharing my story so other women can feel that they aren’t alone.

And Jamie concluded the essay with a message for any woman who's struggling with her decision to have an abortion."For the woman right now who is struggling and feels that she has no one on her side, know that you’re not alone and you’re not evil," Jamie wrote,"We women need to band together—men too—and support each other."
