Hello, my name is Claudia and I am 22 years old, I live in Monterrey, Mexico, where abortion is considered a crime and is penalized with jail … but I have had my abortion a month ago and this is my story.
I have had a relationship with this guy for years, his name is [...]
I had my abortion 4 years ago when I was 19. My boyfriend and I had been together for about 6 months when I found out I was pregnant. My mom had made some seafood salad and I became very ill after eating it, which was unusual for me. I told my boyfriend that I [...]
I’m Claire, I’ve had three abortions. Regret = zero.
My first was at 21. I worked at a small produce store and lived half-time with my parents. I was in a committed relationship with an older man who had a son. He made it quite clear that he was not willing to raise or support [...]
I’m 28 years old, and was with my boyfriend for just over a year. We split up 2 weeks before I found I was pregnant.

When I was 22, I was a junior in college. Because my parents never went to college and have always been poor, I have had to struggle my way through it financially. Both of my older sisters became pregnant out of high school and have never attempted to further their educations so it was a [...]
I’m 18 years old, attending high school, getting everything ready for college. I have a wonderful boyfriend, everything I could ask for. Then came something I didn’t ask for–an unwanted pregnancy. I thought I was pregnant a week or two before my period due to my nausea and moodiness.
My boyfriend tried to reassure me [...]

Foreword: Until I started reading other’s stories on INS I thought I had forgotten a lot of how my story unfolded and as I wrote this I realized it wasn’t that I hadn’t forgotten I just never really shared it. I hope my story helps someone else. Writing this has helped me put some personal [...]
