i am a 37-year-old divorced mother of two young girls. i live in ireland, where abortion is illegal. several years ago i got pregnant unexpectedly by an emotionally abusive and manipulative boyfriend. i was afraid that if i had his baby, he would feel he owned me and i would never be free of him. i felt that a secret abortion was the only way to avoid his anger and escape the relationship.<\/p>\n
i had to ask my parents for money to travel to england, as there was no way i could have afforded the trip on my own. after the abortion i told my boyfriend (by then he was my ex) that i had miscarried, which was plausible given my medical history.<\/p>\n
there is no question that the abortion made my life better. from the start it was clear to me that it was my only real choice; the only way to finally get rid of my abuser and to keep from psychologically damaging my daughters. it was the catalyst that allowed me to get out of a terribly damaging relationship and move forward with my life. i have never looked back and have no regrets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
