i was in college when i was date raped. i went to a party and suddenly everyone was gone except the two of us. i had no car and the buses were done running for the night. i was in a dangerous part of town and he knew i was scared to walk 5 miles back to my dorm alone.

i was 20 when he promised me he was infertile, and i trusted him. why wouldn't i? he was a close friend and had never lied to me before.

i was 20 years old and in a terribly dysfunctional relationship. mentally and emotionally abusive, as well as the constant infidelities.

i was 14 years old. my step father's brother took advantage of me and my undying need to please older men that reminded me of my abusive father.

your 1 in 3 valentine's day campaign really touched me, my due date 4 years ago was valentine's day. it gives me relief to know through websites like yours, that i am not alone. i no longer feel ashamed by my choice, i am pro-life, but by pro-life i mean that of the mother as much as the child, i have the right to make choices about my own existence, my own happiness and my own path.

i'm in my early 30s, married, never before pregnant. i just returned home from a surgical abortion. i grew up with a strict father and born again christian mother, and my parents consider abortion to be the worst thing...killing a child.
