Cuy, age 21
I am proud to declare my personhood. I am terrified of the potential effects of making abortion illegal. Abortion will happen whether or not it is legal. When abortion was illegal, many women found themselves with serious medical problems or even died after attempting to abort a pregnancy by untrained surgeons who performed abortions in unsanitary conditions. If it is illegal, unsafe and risky procedures may result, putting women at risk for infections and even death. This, even as a man, scares me. What if my sister needs an abortion but cannot legally abort her pregnancy? Will I get a phone call telling me that my sister is in the hospital, suffering the result of a failed illegal abortion?
