i had an abortion at 16 years old because i wasn’t ready to be a mom. i wanted to graduate high school and go to college. i was always ashamed of my decision but i never regretted it.<\/p>\n
i felt like i needed to be the “person” i wanted to be before i had children. when i turned 22 i felt like i was that “person” i wanted to be, but i was wrong. i got pregnant and really wanted to keep it but i had an abortion. i still wasn’t ready to be a mom. i thought i was finished growing up, but i wasn’t. i always thought kids were supposed to be fun and unplanned, but no, not in this era.<\/p>\n
so, me and partner decided to write down things we wanted to accomplish before we decide to have kids. having a written plan\/ goal really helped me put things into perspective and made me feel less ashamed of my actions. women have been having abortions for centuries and i am one of those women. i felt so dis-empowered the first time i had an abortion because of all the stigma associated with that choice, but it’s a choice that’s been made for centuries. after learning that fact, i feel empowered. and writing down a plan to have children with my loving and supportive partner, made me feel even more empowered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
