despite the fact that i am an educated, middle class woman, i have had 2 abortions. i don’t have a “good excuse”, just inconsistent birth control because of infrequent relationships, and poor timing. i do not regret my decisions at all. i was grateful to have had the choice.

i have since had 3 children who are all grown. one of my daughters had a child at 18 and wasn’t married. she contemplated abortion, but decided to go forward and keep the baby. i supported her in whatever decision she wanted. i have crazy grandma-love for my now 5 year old granddaughter. does she make me regret my own decisions so many years ago? not for a second.
