Abortion was a word that put fright and horror in people like the name 'boogieman' was supposed to in children.

I think the most important thing everyone wants to hear is how the abortion happened, what it felt like and how I feel now. Well I just recently got the abortion less than 24 hours ago.

As I read through these stories, there was one medical term I was rather surprised not to hear. Hyperemesis Gravidarum.

I was 21 and a student. It was the first time I had ever had unprotected sex; I was usually so careful and I didn't think once would be a problem.

I was a sophomore in college when I found out I was pregnant. I took the test on a whim; I had been having cramps for about a week and had a seriously heightened sense of smell, but my period hadn't come.

At 38 yrs old I finally was divorced but not free from my ex. We shared custody of our two sons and I got pregnant after being sexually assaulted by him.
