i was in college. my boyfriend and i had been together for about 2 years. i decided to get an iud for contraception; because while we were planning on getting married eventually, kids were quite a few years out.

at the age of 15 was when i had my first abortion. society has everyone think that we have no power over our own bodies and choices, and at 15 legally we almost have none.

i became pregnant at 15 by my first boyfriend who was also 15. i began to notice slight changes in my body but was unaware that i was pregnant until i felt the baby move one morning.

i've been pregnant 7 times: 3 children, 2 miscarriages and 2 abortions.

when i first realized i was pregnant, i im世界杯2022亚洲预选赛b组 tely knew what i needed to do. i wasn't financially stable, and could not provide the home my child deserved.

i was barely 20 and had only been dating my boyfriend for a month. i was not ready to be a mother emotionally or financially.
