'I had started this new job not even two or three weeks before and there’s no way I could have taken an eight-hour drive during the work week to drive to a clinic out of state. I just really wanted to find a way to do it in Texas.'

spoke with Kelly about how she overcame these obstacles, and why she’s speaking out.In early February, I found out I was pregnant. I have the Flow app period tracker and I go by that 100 percent. I realized I was late getting my period. So I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. At the time, I was starting this new job and I didn’t have health insurance, so I couldn’t pay for an ultrasound. I went on Google and looked up “affordable ultrasounds.

That’s very scary because if I were like 18 years old, and I walked in there, I could have easily been impressionable and listened to them. If they were the only ones providing me this information, I probably would have gone through with it. But I’m 26 currently and this wasn’t the first time I’d been pregnant. I’ve had a surgical abortion in the past and I’ve had a miscarriage when I was 22 or 23.

they don’t come off as aggressive, but it does seem pushy like they’re really forcing this down your throat. But they’re doing it in the nicest way possible. She had a tone in her voice, like, “I’m here to take care of you, don’t worry.” I didn’t get an answer until my second visit about a week later. I asked the same question, “Is there any way you can help me with medical abortion or any information?” And that’s when she told me that they couldn’t do anything for me. She told me, “We can’t provide you with the medicine itself. We can only inform you about it.”
