as a single mom with three children and very little, if any, help from their father i found i was pregnant again. i was devastated. i wanted very much to keep this child and was against abortion. however, with a limited income and no opportunity at the time to obtain a higher wage, i knew it would be impossible to try to raise another child. it would also be unfair to all my children, including the one i was carrying.
\ni made the difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy. this was nearly 35 years ago. i “speak” to this child often, usually to apologize.
\nsince then i was able to return to college, earn a bachelor’s degree, and advance my career. we never lived in luxury, but we had just enough.
\ni am now 65 and retired. having an abortion was not an easy decision and i doubt many women enter into it lightly. but there are times when it is an unfortunate necessity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
