In the mid 1990’s, I had an unwanted pregnancy. I was living paycheck-to-paycheck. I did not have health insurance, and I was working in a restaurant. My job was physically challenging enough without the burden of pregnancy. I also have pretty severe lower back issues from being hit by a car on my bike when I was a teen. I terminated the pregnancy at six weeks. I wish Plan B would have been on the market at the time. Plan B may have prevented the pregnancy.
