The Abortion I Didn’t Have (Published 2021)

www.nytimes.com

I never thought about ending my pregnancy. Instead, at 19, I erased the future I had imagined for myself.

I couldn’t consider abortion or adoption, but the weird thing is I also couldn’t consider having a baby. I never decided; I never chose. Somewhere in there it became more likely that I was having a baby, but that didn’t make it any more real to me.
