Cynthia GangaI had an abortion due to an ectopic (which means it was in my fallopian tube) pregnancy at the age of 17. This was considered a medically necessary procedure due to the swelling and bleeding that the pregnancy caused, however I would have made the choice to abort non the less due to my age, due to being with a violent boyfriend and wanting to finish high school so I could go onto become a Dr and lawyer who works in women's rights issues. I now sit on the board of a pro-choice association in my home town and am writing my GMAT and LSAT this year!
