I hope you are able to elicit responses from even half of the women who have had abortions in the past 40 years. I think my story is quite common. I had two abortions in the late 1960’s. In both cases, I was correctly using birth control methods prescribed by a doctor, but those methods failed. I did not suffer from depression. I made a medical election and, 35 years later, at age 59, I’m not sorry.
