I was with my now husband, then boyfriend. I went back and forth between a diaphragm and spermicide. I was very faithful about using birth control.Still, I wound up pregnant. I probably would have continued the pregnancy, if I thought my boyfriend would be ok with it. But, at the time, he was not ready to be a husband, let alone a father. He did not offer his opinion, even when asked. So, at 9 weeks, I had an abortion. Though I regret getting pregnant, I do not regret the abortion and never have. I believe I did the right thing for me at the time. We now have been married for 30 years, have 1 child and 2 grandchildren. Thanks for giving us this opportunity.
