I was raped at the age of 11. Not only was my childhood taken from me, I feel as if my whole life has been taken from me. I am 20 as of now, and yes, I conceived from that nightmare, at a very very young age.

What? But my Catholic high school biology teacher told me I couldn't get pregnant on my period! What a shocker! Here is what I have felt from the minute I was able to get a safe, legal abortion 24 years ago - Grateful, grateful, grateful!

I have had two abortions: the first when I was in my early twenties and newly married, the second when I was about 5 years older.

I had an abortion when I was a 23 year old college senior. The pregnancy was the result of a one night stand. I voluntarily looked at my ultrasound before the procedure.

I found out I was pregnant in May 2013. I was ecstatic, so was my partner. We had been trying for a baby for about a year.

I was 21 when I became pregnant with my third child, fathered by my alcoholic, physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive husband. Early in the pregnancy, after he was arrested for hitting me, I finally found the strength, and courage to leave him, and file for divorce.
