It was Wednesday, May 6th, 2015 when I found out that I was pregnant. I had been taking birth control religiously for about two years, but it was difficult to get my prescriptions regularly since I moved to a different city for college.

In 1968 abortion was not legal. I was 19, wildly in love, naive and unready to have a child. An abortion was arranged with an MD.

I started dealing with this guy when I was around 19 years old. We didn't have sex immediately, we waited a few months but once we started we barely ever used protection.

So I'm 30 years old, recently engaged to be married and so happy to be in love with a sweet guy. I'm pretty regular, so when my period didn't come in over a week I started to get nervous.
