On Jan. 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the constitution protects a pregnant woman’s choice to have an abortion. Storbeck, now in her 50s, recalled their discussions about where and how he could work while she studied to receive her master’s degree and then where and how she could work while he received his master’s degree.
One day, Storbeck recalled she started to get really bad cramps that caused her hips and back to hurt. Then, she could barely walk and bled through her clothes. “I had to get in my car, bleeding, cramping, sick as a dog,” Storbeck said. “I had to drive over an hour to get to the next health care clinic that I could get to that could complete the miscarriage.”
