i was an adult, married woman of 25. we had just had a baby. this baby was not growing and was hospitalized at 3 months.

i had an abortion last fall, at age 22. i had just moved across the country following my graduation and was working long hours at low pay to gain clinical experience in hopes of getting into medical school.

i had an abortion when i was a freshman in college and was in my first sexual relationship.

i aborted a wanted pregnancy when i was 32 years old.

my first was at 17. i did it because i was ganged raped and had no idea who the father was
and knew raising that child would be a daily reminder of a traumatic event. not a fair situation for any child to be raised.

last year, i had an abortion. i'd done everything "right"- i was only seeing one man, i was using birth control, i was being "responsible." but i had an iud and it turns out that i also have a heart shaped uterus, rendering my iud basically ineffective.
