I was 22. I had just graduated from college and recently accepted into a teaching credential program. My ex-boyfriend and I just moved in together, everything was going in the direction it was supposed to.

I applied to boarding school in the spring. Throughout the summer I was excited for this amazing opportunity. I had a boyfriend. We were having unprotected sex.

At 20 years old I got pregnant. My boyfriend has a 4 year old son already and he is a terrific dad. I didn't know I was pregnant until going to my family doctor.

My husband and I found out that we were having our second baby in January 2013. Extremely unexpected, but we were over the moon.

I was in college and had one crazy weekend with a guy leaving for the army. Found out I was pregnant and had a "no guilt" abortion.

I didn't exactly have an abortion. I did have to have an abortion procedure that saved my life. If that procedure had been illegal or otherwise unavailable, I would have died 2 days after turning 17 for nothing.
