I was 19 years old; I went out with some people from college. A guy I didn’t know handed me and another girl a drink. She knew him and happily thanked him.

I was 23 when I had my abortion. I was on the pill but forgot to take it all the time so it wasn't effective. I had been with my boyfriend for about 10 months when I found out I was pregnant.

Siempre he estado a favor del derecho a decidir, pero nunca me imaginé que me iba a enfrentar a la elección que tuve que tomar. El embarazo que di por finalizado fue muy querido y planificado.

Tuve un aborto cuando tenía 19 años de edad.

I guess my story starts off like most do. I met a boy, fell in love, got pregnant, and had an abortion. That is the overly simplified version of events.

I cannot say that I am like most of the women on here. I deeply regret my abortion. In the prior 10 years, I would've told people differently.
