What is the story of your birth #21

Geographic Region:

Not a birth story but a reproductive one.

I come from a very conservative, Christian nationalist background. When I asked how to get on birth control (as an unmarried 20 year old), my mom wouldn’t tell me. Her exact words: “I want you to be scared.”

Now I support Planned Parenthood and we don’t speak.
