COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Carrie Yvette Fischer just moved to Colorado. She wants to work, but her mother's attempted abortion left her with facial deformities that she says make it difficult to land a job. So she reached out on Facebook to find some help and found hundreds of connections.
"When I go out or when I go meet somebody I always feel like I have to warn them. I don't want to scare you when you meet me," Fischer said.
Fischer and her husband Richard just moved to Colorado Springs from Houston. They're living at a hotel for now.
"I want a house. I want a job," she said.
She has a 2-year degree and work experience, so she felt that in theory finding a job should be no problem. She found a Facebook group called "The 411 For The 719" to look for possible employment opportunities.
"I'm a 50-year-old disabled woman who wants to work but has a hard time getting hired because of how I look," reads Fischer's Facebook post. "Please no laughing Emojis. I didn't ask to be born this way. You don't know my story."
As it turns out, Fischer's story is a tale of survival.
"50 years ago my mother aborted me. She thought it worked. A few months later found out she's still pregnant," she said.
Carrie survived but suffered facial paralysis and she's deaf in one ear. She has endured bullying and ridicule and never thought she'd get married.
I had never been asked out on a date before age 42," she said.

That is one of the great things about Free Republic - you will NEVER hear stories like this in the lamestream media.
At the primary site linked there are comments suggesting this woman has used this same story in other towns and may not be on the up & up.
Perhaps from some who aren’t abortion survivors? It may *really* be harder to get work for her than many realize.
I guess I’m just not going to judge her intentions. I would think she hasn’t had an easy life. To the contrary. I do hope that she and her husband are being honest.
