I got pregnant the day I submitted my college applications. My best friend encouraged us to tell our parents. When I suffered horrific complications a month after my abortion, we had their support

I had an abortion and I have not regretted the decision for one minute. My pregnancy was planned but unfortunately, I ended up with a very rare ectopic pregnancy located in my c-section scar.

After waiting more than 2 weeks for my results - something that could have been done in 24 hours, if my insurance had been 'better' - we got the devastating news that there was no happy outcome for this baby.

I got pregnant back in 1973 while on the pill about six months into what was becoming an exclusive relationship. However, there was no real commitment yet and I was also drinking heavily (have now been sober 36 years).

I was a teenager when Roe v. Wade delivered a victory for women's rights. I had friends who had illegal abortions with devastating consequences. Never again did I believe we would face this battle.

Seven weeks in, I started bleeding and went to the emergency room, only to find out that the baby was ectopic...growing in my fallopian tube instead of in my womb.
