carole's story

i went in to the clinic and i already knew when i went in to get my pregnancy test what my decision was. it wasn't an easy one to make, by any means.

i tried to hide the truth of it all, i was scared to tell, i never would you know. i finally decided to find out the truth, i scheduled a visit to planned parenthood.

anonymous' story

i was devastated; i felt that having another child would tax me emotionally and leave me unable to give my living children what they needed, so i had an abortion at a clinic in rockford, illinois.

i arranged for the procedure, and another friend took me. she never said a negative word to me. the guy left me, not because of the procedure, because he would have anyway.
