i had been married for 4 years when i became pregnant. i was 26 years old. my husband did not want a child at the time and convinced me to have an abortion. i was feeling really sick, so it was an easy decision.

this was 38 years ago. i have two grown sons and became pregnant with my older son a few months after my abortion.

i have had many years when i don’t think about it very much, but sometimes it is very painful to think about.
