Jill

I was twenty-one and still in college when I found out I was pregnant even though I had used protection faithfully. From the moment I found out, there was no question that I'd end the pregnancy. I didn't want to be a parent - ever - and certainly not at that moment.

Danielle

I knew that you should use condoms. I had one with me all the time. My high school boyfriend and I just didn't use them. "Pulling out totally works" he said to me once... *massive eye-roll".

I was 19 when Emma was born. I had no doubt at that point that abortion was out of the question. Even when it was suggested by many people very close to me.

Corinne

I was 20 and a junior in college when I found out I was pregnant. I was with a man who was kind and understanding, but our relationship was fleeting.

Nikki

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.

Jenn

My name is Jenn. I am 23 going on 24. I love kids. I've always wanted kids. I knew I would be a great mother after my niece was born in 2011. I had helped my brother and his wife raise both of their kids.
