i became pregnant while using an iud birth control after a molar pregnancy. becoming pregnant so soon was not advised because of the molar pregnancy but we (my husband and i) didn't want to get an abortion since we had already experienced the devastation of pregnancy loss.

i was 18 and had been with my boyfriend for a year. he and i had the "what if" conversation and i said in no uncertain terms that if the birth control i always used failed that i would have an abortion while he, on the other hand, insisted that he would marry me.

i had an abortion when i was 28. back in 1988 i had 2 choices. abortion and keep my job and home, or homeless and a parent playing the welfare breeding game.

i am 77 years old. i was a virgin until i was 21 and didn't sleep around. when i was 22 i was date raped, got pregnant, and couldn't find a safe way to have an abortion.

it was my second year in college when i found out i was pregnant. i did not plan to have kids at all, much less at that time in my life.

i was a 19 year old thousands of miles from family and desperate to find connections. this led me to make many bad decisions.
