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.
I had an abortion when I was 23. I don't regret it, it was the best choice at the time. I had a two day fling with my ex boyfriend.
I was in my early 30s and in a relationship and we had been using condoms. I had not been on the pill but things can and do happen.
I started seeing a therapist again after my abortion. She tells me it’s OK to talk about this, but I know I’m not supposed to.
When I needed to decide whether to carry my third pregnancy full-term or have an abortion, I already had two sons and would have loved to try for a daughter. However a low back injury make it too dangerous to go full term. So, I decided on an abortion and had my fallopian tubes tied off at the same time.
