My name is Ashley, I’m 19 years old, and back in October, I had a surgical abortion at age 18. My boyfriend and I had been together for 7 months. I had never been in love with someone more in my life. We had gotten engaged in July, and were to be married on Valentines [...]
I had my abortion when I was 15 back in 1995. I was a sophomore in high school and I had been seeing my boyfriend since the 8th grade. Most of my friends knew that I was having sex. My boyfriend told me before we became sexually active that he was in fact sterile and [...]
As a person who was adopted as a baby (and learned of this at age 16), I have had an abortion and feel that this was the one of the best decisions have ever made. I made the choice and had the opportunity to exercise my rights as a woman. Thinking of how my life [...]
Ten years ago, I was married to a fundamentalist preacher. He worked for a fake “crisis pregnancy center”, the kind that try really hard to talk women out of abortions. He was just awful–definitely the bomber type of guy (he “joked” about it sometimes). At that time of my life, I was very anti-choice, but [...]
I am 26 and just had my first and hopefully only abortion. I am a single parent of a beautiful 6 year old and didn’t want to be a single parent of two. I had always said I would NEVER have an abortion until this happened.
I was semi-involved with a co-worker of mine. Of [...]
I feel better. I had come back from working in El Salvador for two years and was feeling horrible. I was pregnant, unemployed, $20,000 in debt and not emotionally ready for what we had gotten us into. I decided not to tell the dad, for reasons that I still am not quite sure about. I [...]
I am a mom of three wonderful children. I love being a mom. However, I had two abortions before I actually was ready for this job. I am not sorry that I chose to end 2 pregnancies. I am sorry that I became pregnant.
At the time that I became pregnant I was in my [...]
It has been almost two weeks since I had my second abortion. You may be thinking why not learn the first time? That’s what I asked myself on my way to the clinic. That is why I decided to share my story.
After the first abortion I had, I began very self-destructive behavior. I began [...]
I am 28 years old, married, and while my husband and I both work in education and don’t make a ton of money, we could easily support a child. However, when we discovered I was pregnant last October, there was never any question about having an abortion. We don’t want children right now and it’s [...]
I’ve had two abortions. Both resulted from contraceptive failures. (Did you know that some antibiotics can counteract the Pill? Neither did the doctor who prescribed the Pill for me.) The first, at age 20 in New York City, in 1985, was unexceptional except that several of my friends had recently had abortions too, so I [...]
