Jessica, a single mother in Alabama, found out she was pregnant soon after the birth of her first daughter. Nervous of what the future would hold because of her financial situation, health, and relational status, she thought her only way out was through having an abortion.
Jessica had recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, Lupus. This caused her to become fearful since her diagnosis made it difficult for her to obtain and retain employment, and even caused difficulty walking.
However, Alabama is one of several states where abortion is almost entirely illegal following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, which overturned Roe v. Wade and returned the question of abortion to lawmakers.

Jessica told Fox News, “When I found out I was pregnant, there were mixed emotions because I do have a daughter, and she’s the light of my life, but I had so many health issues with this pregnancy,” she said. “In October 2022, I found out, I was diagnosed with lupus. I was happy about the pregnancy, and then I was ashamed and embarrassed about my pregnancy because of my health issues and my mom [didn’t like] my child’s father, which [were some of the]main reasons why I was considering having an abortion.”
