before the 1970's, we had no pills, no serious birth-control...sisters who were pregnant and couldn't keep the child had to go abroad , Switzerland, Belgium, England, to get abortion...then laws came, Newirth law for bith-conrtrol, Veil for abortion...some said, we were murderers, some said that was too easy...I never got abortion for myself, I was lucky enough to get pregnant when I wanted too...but I remember helping others, going to hospital with them, going from flat to flats in town to explain birth-control...I wish they had been with us, all those who said it was easy...a woman has the right to chose, she owns her womb, nobody else does, just herself...
we were so happy when the law came...we thought: at least our daughters will be free...
but HIV came...and we lost our dream...
