Abortion was my ticket to a happy, successful, prosperous future.

When I was 18, I got pregnant due to birth control failure. I had an abortion and never looked back. I felt no regret. Only "phew!"

I was 20 years old, and my boyfriend and I were living in his parents' house - both of us working low-paying restaurant jobs. When I learned that I was pregnant, I knew the timing wasn't good, but was still ecstatic at the thought of the life growing inside me.

I found out I was pregnant when I was 32. I had a 13 year old at the time. I called my boyfriend (also the father of my 13 year old) and told him. I was crying hysterically. I knew that I didn't want another child, but didn't "believe" in abortion unless you were raped. This was my own personal belief at the time. I didn't preach or anything like that.

I am 27 and just had my first abortion.
I grew up in a place where, surprisingly, abstinence-only sex education is taught. I was the only person out of my friends who didn't get pregnant or have a child before the age of 18.

In 1975, I was 17 years old. Abortion had only been legal for about two years. I found myself pregnant and, of course, was unwilling and unable to care for a child.

I got pregnant in 1997 with a guy who seduced me and manipulated me into a relationship with him. We used condoms every time, so I was in shock when I found out I got pregnant.
