i was newly married and terrified when i became pregnant. i was unsure of my relationship and had come from a dysfunctional family that i was afraid to recreate.

tuve a mi hija y nueve meses después quedé embarazada nuevamente. eso fue un gran impacto. no pensaba en tener al bebé pero ese fue mi primer aborto y tenía mucho miedo.

i was on the patch, and my boyfriend and i used condoms, but i got pregnant anyway. because of my history of very irregular periods, we did not know that i was pregnant until i was 17 weeks along.

i was 21, married, in the military, full time student, part time retail employee, and completely broke. my husband was going away on his first deployment.

i had my first abortion when i was 22 in berkeley ca in 1973. i was on ssi for depression and my 19 year old boyfriend had already made his other girlfriend pregnant the month before.

i was 21 in early 1988 and recently separated from a mentally-abusive husband, whom i had foolishly married at 18 to get out of my alcoholic and abusive parent's house (frying pan, meet fire).
