I am a medical student. But six years ago, I was in high school– pregnant and terrified.
The life I now have is fundamentally different from the one I would have been obligated to experience without the help of a dedicated abortion provider. Because there are doctors willing to provide this service at great personal risk, I was given another chance to achieve my goals. And because of this chance, I now have the opportunity to pay it forward by becoming an abortion provider.
I now have the opportunity to show those who would intimidate me into hiding, who would force me to abandon women and girls in need, that my conviction is stronger than theirs. I will not be ashamed. I will not be scared. And I will not ever forget the people who made these opportunities possible.
I am Dr. Tiller.
