i really had no discussion with my boyfriend. i was like "the test came back and this is what we are doing." i didn't tell my mother. i couldn't have faced it, there would have been no talk of abortion from my mom.

i stand by my decision, and i stand by all of the women in the us who deserve the right to make their own decisions about their bodies.

at the age of 16 i was forced to move out of my mother's home. i didn't have anywhere to go and my boyfriend of 4 months (who was 5 years my senior) said i could move in with him.

i have not once had one regret. i was not depressed. rather, i was elated to be out from under something that could have destroyed my life for at least 18 years.

i had an abortion when i was 22. i was in a relationship that was only a few months old. my boyfriend did not want me to have an abortion, but supported my decision either way. he knew it was my decision.

i had abortions. not as a means of birth control...i tried to not get pregnant and was surprised i did.
