i had two abortions in my early twenties. one pregnancy resulted from a long-term relationship and birth control fail; one resulted from a fling and a lack of birth control. in both cases, the decision was right for me. i was a single mother, barely making ends meet, and i needed all of my energy and all of my income just to support the son i already had.

now i have five children, all of them wanted, loved, and supported.

i don’t feel guilty. i don’t feel murderous. i don’t feel the need to justify my decisions.

whatever your choice is, it’s important that it is yours and that you make the right choice for you.
