For two years my birth control consisted of decoctions (very strong teas) of rosemary and penny royal. My periods are regular like clockwork so I knew when my period didn’t come that I was pregnant. My husband of then five and a half years and I were not in a very good place in our [...]

I found out I was pregnant during the fall semester of my senior year of college. Although a home pregnancy test revealed a positive result, I still went to the basement of one of the academic halls to take another test before an anthropology lecture. I could not fathom how an intelligent woman like me [...] My abortion was one of the most empowering experiences of my life. I was expecting the opposite – to be overcome by guilt, shame, and trauma. I remember weepy women on TV so full of sadness and regret. My college girlfriends used to lament their lost children while chugging Pabst Blue Ribbon in a can [...] Well I am a twenty-one year old woman who just had an abortion a couple of weeks ago–let me walk you through it. I found out I was pregnant but it wasn’t the same as the first time when I had my child this time I was scared because I knew that neither I nor [...] I am almost 21 and I have had two abortions. One was a surgical, the other a medication abortion. The first time I got pregnant I was 18. I won’t lie, I wasn’t one of those women who was unlucky and got pregnant on birth control pills.

I’ve never been the type of woman to have that traditional lifestyle that consists of the perfect marriage, children, and house with the white picket fence. I grew up in a Christian home, so the idea of abortion was out the window… I’ve always thought that if [...] I have had three abortions. I’ve never admitted to anyone exactly how many I have had until now, not even to my own gynecologist. I waited until I was almost 19 years old to lose my virginity, because I wanted it to be special. The man I waited for turned out to be an asshole [...] I’m 33 years old. I never imagined I’d be in the position of needing an abortion. I use birth control pills and condoms faithfully. I do, however, enjoy sex quite a lot – in both senses of that phrase. And I had a condom break. I was concerned but told my partner “No worries, that’s [...] He was sweet, good looking and charming. He came into my life after several difficult years of caring for my mother through cancer. He supported me through her death and I thought he was the “one”. I was 21 years old when we met and as time wore on he became less sweet and charming [...] |
