Our Abortion Stories: ‘Forced to Give Birth, Forced to Relinquish, Ordered to Forget’

Tracy Mayo

Author Tracy Mayo reflects on her pregnancy at 14 and the denial of her reproductive rights, as well as what Dobbs means for stories like hers.

“I had done the worst possible thing for an officer’s daughter: disobeyed orders and shown no discipline. So I was given a new order: Give up my baby at birth and never speak of him again.”
