though i was raised in a catholic family and apparently encouraged to participate in a “right to life” poster contest as a child,i can’t remember a time in my life when i wasn’t pro-choice.

it has been nearly 2 years since i made that decision, and i have no regrets. i am so thankful that i was allowed to make a choice, and make the best decision regarding my long term health and well being.

warren's story

i was one of the lucky ones. i lived in ohio, and i was a senior in high school. it was the day before prom, and i took a pregnancy test in a cvs bathoom with my best friend reading the directions.

i’m catholic and i’ve had an abortion. i was 15 when i had to make the choice. at 15 i was not ready to become a young teen mom.

my story can be quite typical, i was 18 and a half and had just discovered the world of sexuality. i had been in a long term relationship, with whom i thought was the love of my life.
