i am 61 years old and had an abortion when i was a young woman. it was a legal abortion, performed in a clinic, and there were no complications. it was the right decision to have an abortion at the time because i was too young, too immature and my life was too unstable to bring a child into it. in my 30s i had 2 beautiful children who are the joy of my life. i believe i was correct in having an abortion when i did but i also believe that i should have had better access to birth control so that i would not have become pregnant in the first place.
