I turned up pregnant. I knew it almost immediately - before I even missed a period. I was so very nauseous that I couldn't even work. I took a home test and it was positive. When I confronted him with the pregnancy, he said sex just felt so much better without a condom and that he knew he wanted to marry me. He's lied to me! He was actually trying to trap me into marrying him!

I didn't want his baby. I didn't even want him anymore. I was pretty disgusted. At this time I was probably only about 2 weeks pregnant. I would lose my job if I had another baby! I didn't have the sick time built up from my last childbirth- a c-section. I had a 2 year old to support!

I was pro-choice. I personally don't think life begins at conception, but at first consious long-term memory. For me, my life began when mom showed me a woodpecker in a tree. Before that I do not remember, so I must not have been REALLY alive at that time. That's just the way I have always believed. I'm sure civilizations that practice exposure must think the same way.

I started looking for abortion information. I felt it was a matter of my survival! Who would take care of my child and me if I couldn't work for 3 months? We'd go under! I couldn't afford daycare for 2 - it was killing me to pay for daycare for my 2 year old son!

I called clinic after clinic and was told I'd have to wait until I was 6 weeks along. As soon as I was 6 weeks, I went. I was scared. There were people outside protesting. I'd had to have my sister bring me, and she was all emotional about it. She is pro-choice but has mixed feelings about it. I'd have asked someone else if I had known anyone. I'd asked my sister to please keep my secret - I didn't want my family to know. I live in rural Georgia and public opinion can be harsh on the subject.

The abortion went ok. I cramped for a few days but got better soon. My sister couldn't handle it and went and told my whole family - so a third of them no longer love or talk to me anymore. Well, with love like THAT I guess its a good thing. They wouldn't have paid my bills. They never really helped me with crap anyway.

Well, as it turns out I remarried my son's dad. I work from home now so I can homeschool my son. We are all very happy. If I'd not had the abortion, I don't know what would have happened to us.

My husband DID have a vasectomy. We both love kids and would love to have another one, but we can't afford it.

All these pro-lifers would have poor women running around like a stray dog on the street with with hanging teats and pups in the cold under someone's shed. They are always the first to blame, but I've not seen one of them that are really generous and would help a poor woman raise a child that she couldn't afford.
