This is what a real, qualified OBGYN will tell you about what women feel when they get an abortion

Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.

So mad that when my hair was short and easy to straighten(once you reach mid length with 4c hair, it's just a challenge to straighten for me) I didn't do something amazing like this. 2016 i am definitely doing something amazing with my hair, color might be my weapon of choice. (Not me in pic, but her hair is bomb)
