It was about this time 15 years ago that my ex (who raped me after we broke up) threatened to kill me if I didn& #39;t have an abortion.

His threat made me realize that I couldn& #39;t be like him: I couldn& #39;t use violence to get what I wanted in life.

Suddenly, I knew I couldn& #39;t abort. https://twitter.com/PunkyMantilla/status/1246573301650071554">https://twitter.com/PunkyMant...

In that moment, I felt solidarity with the vulnerable preborn child.

I& #39;d been pro-choice for as long as I& #39;d known about abortion. So I didn& #39;t WANT to be prolife... I knew it would be the death of my social life. I knew I& #39;d be outcast.

But, I also knew I& #39;d been unsettled.

So, begrudgingly and with angst, I made it my life& #39;s work to go unsettle others: I became vocally and passionately Pro-Life.

I wish I could be pro-choice, it& #39;d make my social life so much easier.

But I can& #39;t ignore science and my ethic of nonviolence to make my life easier.

So, I& #39;m prolife AF now,
Unapologetically.

And though I want to lead with compassion and dignity in all things, I must say this:

Abortion coercion is REAL and it is FU*KED UP and I will block apologists for it without a second thought. Do NOT come at me with that shit, EVER.
