i was living with a drug dealer who didn't like me using my diaphragm because it "broke the mood"; he didn't like waiting for me to put it in.

my husband wanted to be involved with my birth control method. we learned about natural family planning and started using it. it worked well. . . for a while, until i had unprotected sex on day 6 of my cycle.

i was a drug addict when i had my abortion.

i was raised in a religious household and given your basic red state sex education. we were told to abstain sex or burn in hell. no one explained how pregnancy happened or how to avoid it.

i was two weeks away from my 24th birthday. i had been dating my boyfriend at the time for almost 4 years. i found out he was being deceitful and was eager to date other women. we broke up and a week later i found out i was six weeks pregnant.

i'm 55 years old. i terminated a pregnancy when i was in my early 30's. i was working at the time but did not own a car.
