I felt like a stereotype. I was 16 years old and had just lost my virginity when I found out I was pregnant.

I'm telling my abortion story because it is not sensational.

I was 25 and had just become engaged... not very dramatic. But, I am glad to be telling my story in a somewhat public way.

I was 18 years old the first time I found out I was pregnant. I was newly in college and in a relationship with an emotionally abusive guy.

I became pregnant with my first child last year in my late 30's! I was elated and filled with an unexplained amount of love for this being simply for being a part of me. I didn't know that my heart can open so big.

In 2012, I was 18 years old, a freshman at the University of San Francisco. On November 07, 2012 I found out that I was pregnant by my high school boyfriend of 2 years. As I stood there in Walgreens bathroom staring down at the pregnancy test, I couldn't register what I was looking at.
