Sara’s Story

I am currently 34 years old and pregnant for the fourth time. In my 20′s I had three abortions. They were hard decisions but helped me get to the place I am at now.

At 23 I got pregnant after not using birth control or condoms regularly. I terminated at a Planned Parenthood at about [...]

Sara’s Story

Today I cried. I had (am still having) a good long cry. I got in the shower and it just all came out. Speaking out loud to no one or to myself I told my story and why I was sad. I had an abortion a month ago tomorrow. I’m not sad I had the [...]

Sara’s Story

I just had an abortion today, September 17 2005. As of now I do not feel bad or regret my decision. I’m 21 years old and still live at home with my father. I do not work, or have a college education, have a car; pretty much I have nothing. The man I got pregnant [...]

Sara’s Story

My story is similar to some of those I have read here, but it is different to me, because it is mine. I have not told anyone this story. My husband knows about it because he was there, but I have never told anyone else. I feel like I should, because I am not ashamed, [...]

Sara’s Story

I am 24 years old and I have had 4 abortions when I was 13, 15, 19, and 24. I DO NOT regret one of them. The only thing that I regret is that birth control doesn’t seem to EVER work for me (I’ve tried multiple pills, Depo, condoms, Patch)!!! I am the 1% that [...]

Sandy’s Story

In 1972 I was 27 years old and married. The following year I had my 4th child. My marriage was not a happy one–my husband was a drunk and beat on me since we were married in 1964. We got married 10 months after I graduated. The abuse started when we were dating and being [...]

Sandra’s Story

Back in 1993, I used to go to a nightclub here in Minneapolis that had a really great live band. The saxophone player in the band asked me out several times but I always said no. Musicians were a bad idea, right? Over the course of several months he eventually wore me down and we [...]

Sandi’s Story

I turned 57 today. When I was 25 yrs old I became pregnant. The man was going through a divorce, and was not emotionally prepared to give me any support no matter what I decided. I was a young 25, just beginning to live on my own and totally unprepared for a child. Luckily for [...]

Sandi’s Story

Prior to telling my story I would like to share an epiphany I had about three years ago when I attended an Abortion Speak Out. I got up in front of the crowd and told my story as I will tell it here.

The epiphany that I had was in how I had previously told [...]

Sandi’s Story

I’ve been pro-choice ever since I knew what the term meant (approximately since the age of twelve, or sixteen years ago). But needing to make the choice – like a lot of women, I never thought it would happen to me. But it did; I got pregnant a little over a year ago, on March [...]
