Although the details are rather fuzzy, I do remember how I felt when I decided to terminate an unwanted pregnancy at age 19.

I was in college. My boyfriend and I had been together for about 2 years. I decided to get an IUD for contraception; because while we were planning on getting married eventually, kids were quite a few years out.

At the age of 15 was when I had my first abortion. Society has everyone think that we have no power over our own bodies and choices, and at 15 legally we almost have none.

I became pregnant at 15 by my first boyfriend who was also 15. I began to notice slight changes in my body but was unaware that I was pregnant until I felt the baby move one morning.

I've been pregnant 7 times: 3 children, 2 miscarriages and 2 abortions.

When I first realized I was pregnant, I immediately knew what I needed to do. I wasn't financially stable, and could not provide the home my child deserved.
