i got pregnant in 1972, when abortion was legal in washington, dc, but before roe v. wade.

i had a 2-year-old and was a single mom. there was no way i could manage another pregnancy, let alone another child! i had a legal abortion at about 10 weeks. a girlfriend went with me. i did not regret the abortion at the time. 44 years later, i still do not regret my decision. it was right then, and it still is right. i have never had a regret.
