Blue Mountain Clinic in Missoula, Montana

    Gay Allison, 72, poses for a portrait at Blue Mountain Clinic in Missoula, Montana, U.S. February 27, 2023. Allison, who was born to unmarried parents and adopted, received an abortion before it was legalized in 1973. She found out she was pregnant when she was 18 and preparing to go to college. Having a baby would have derailed the plans she had for her life, she said. She is now the mother of two adult children and shares step children with her husband. “For me it was just absolutely the right thing to do”, Allison said. “I didn’t think twice about it.” REUTERS/Callaghan O’Hare
