14 years ago today my son was born. He weighed in at 1lbs 10oz. Had the sweetest little cheeks and a full head of the blackest hair I'd ever seen...he had ten tiny little fingers and ten tiny little toes... he was also very broken inside...

I had an abortion when I was 18. I had been feeling nauseated for a few days. My friend stood with me while I watched the test develop two pink lines. On the drive home we talked a little about abortion but I just wasn't sure.

I was 19 and had been dating a guy for about three months when we discovered I had become pregnant. We were on a vacation when I began to have severe, almost unbearable, cramps. I was expecting my period any day but I knew something was not right.

The abortion I had at 24 in 1991 did society a favor.

I was 16 years old and in high school. I was in my first real relationship, but with a guy I think I knew I wouldn't be with forever. I was in love with him, but also knew he lied to me and cheated on me regularly.
