I was 16 when I got pregnant. Even before it was confirmed by a doctor I knew what my choice would be. No question … it will be aborted. This was many years ago as I am now 42 years old. I am happily married and happily childfree. I know that if I had had the child I would not have the man I have now. In the beginning of our relationship, I informed him of the abortion. He had no problem with it and as I did felt it was the right thing to do.
OK, I admit I was stupid and did not have birth control and my lack of good judgement got me into a situation. I am glad that there was a way out for me as I feel if I had not had the abortion, I would still be paying for my stupidity and lack of good judgement. Instead, after the abortion, my life went on; I found a good man, continued my education, built a career that I am happy with, have a nice home that we live in, life is good. No regrets! People need to know this!
Just a sidebar: Funny how many of the pro-lifers are male. They’ll never find themselves in a situation like this!
