Thank you for sharing your story with us and reaffirming for so many that abortions are normal, common and life-saving. We are still here, and we'll never stop fighting for our communities across the Deep South. Read Simona’s full story at the link in our bio ("I Was Able to Choose an Abortion, and It Saved My Life"). Be sure to follow @Popsugar for their 50 States, 50 Abortions series.
