as a full time nanny, i've seen everything it takes to be good parents. i look at parenting as an important choice. one to be taken seriously after emotional preparation, financial planning, and a stabilized life.

i was 22 years old and was in my 2nd semester of my lab tech program. i was in (still am) this wonderful relationship with my boyfriend.

tomorrow makes two weeks since i had my abortion. i am a 24 year old student pursuing a pharmd while simultaneously working a part-time job in a pharmaceutical setting. i have a loving, supportive fiancé who has also become my closest friend in the time we've been together.

i was 34. i feel it is very important for me to tell my story because i had a very hard time finding stories like mine when i got pregnant accidentally, over 2 years ago.

i waited until i was 18 to have sex and was certain that i knew everything i needed to know. my mom was very open, i read all the books, and had some sex education in high school. what i wasn't prepared for was getting involved with a really good liar.

it was april 2014. i was 22 and i had just moved from michigan to arizona, fresh out of college. it was easter and i was 2,000 miles away from my family. i had met a guy online the day before.
