While Howard's story is not an abortion one, she says it's the fact that she had a choice that "empowered her" to make a decision.

After the Jun 24th SCOTUS decision overturning Roe V. Wade, millions of women across America have lost the right to legal, safe abortion.

Her choice to keep the baby helped her in the dark months of post-natal depression that followed because she said, “motherhood is not easy.”
