I got pregnant in 1972, when abortion was legal in Washington, DC, but before Roe v. Wade.

I had a 2-year-old and was a single mom. There was no way I could manage another pregnancy, let alone another child! I had a legal abortion at about 10 weeks. A girlfriend went with me. I did not regret the abortion at the time. 44 years later, I still do not regret my decision. It was right then, and it still is right. I have never had a regret.
