i was 19 years old; i went out with some people from college. a guy i didn’t know handed me and another girl a drink. she knew him and happily thanked him.

i was 23 when i had my abortion. i was on the pill but forgot to take it all the time so it wasn't effective. i had been with my boyfriend for about 10 months when i found out i was pregnant.

siempre he estado a favor del derecho a decidir, pero nunca me imaginé que me iba a enfrentar a la elección que tuve que tomar. el embarazo que di por finalizado fue muy querido y planificado.

tuve un aborto cuando tenía 19 años de edad.

i guess my story starts off like most do. i met a boy, fell in love, got pregnant, and had an abortion. that is the overly simplified version of events.

i cannot say that i am like most of the women on here. i deeply regret my abortion. in the prior 10 years, i would've told people differently.
