Abortion Stories

I had an abortion to save him from the pain he would experience

My fiancé was very abusive when I found out I was pregnant.

I remember not having any money or anyone, not even my mom, who I felt I could go to for a ride or support.

We had to make a life altering decision, scrounge up an insane amount of money and grieve our baby in one day.

I got pregnant in December 1970. I was an 18 year old college freshman, a virgin, with very little sexual experience.

I became a mother on my own terms. Having an abortion was one of the best decisions I ever made.

I knew if I had the baby, I didn’t want to be a single mom.

I would have done anything to save those babies, but I didn’t want to risk my life for a baby that had no chance of being born healthy.

The person I was then, and the things that I was struggling with, I could not have been a mother.
