Jack Quemi Gutirrez was a 20-year-old college student in a self-described shitty relationship when they found out they were pregnant.
It was 2011 and Gutirrez, a nonbinary person who uses the pronouns they/them, had to pool all their money at the time to pay the $500 to get the abortion pill. Even though Gutirrez chose to have a medication abortion (I didnt want a bunch of people in my crotch), they were still forced to undergo two trans-vaginal ultrasounds before obtaining the abortion pill.
I felt very, very much alone, Gutirrez told HuffPost. I didnt have any frame of reference for what an abortion would be like, period. Not to mention what an abortion would be like as a nonbinary person.
