Latavia Randolph's Journey: Teenage Abortion and the Shadows of Addiction
“In order for me to feel like a woman, I don't have to have children. This is the trauma of me drinking alcoholically while I was pregnant with a child. And because I didn't want marriage, I didn't want a man because I didn't need a man. It amazes me still to This Day, to the point where you know I would claim that you know I didn't want to bring children into this sick world.”
