I have had an abortion. I am grateful that I was able to discuss the situation with my family and to be left to make the best decision for myself.

I was 25 and in a committed relationship. The condom broke on Saturday night. I don't know if you could get Plan B over the counterĀ in 2001 but if you could I didn't know about it, so I waited until Planned Parenthood opened on Monday.

I became pregnant while using an IUD birth control after a molar pregnancy. Becoming pregnant so soon was not advised because of the molar pregnancy but we (my husband and I) didn't want to get an abortion since we had already experienced the devastation of pregnancy loss.

I was 18 and had been with my boyfriend for a year. He and I had the "what if" conversation and I said in no uncertain terms that if the birth control I always used failed that I would have an abortion while he, on the other hand, insisted that he would marry me.

I had an abortion when I was 28. Back in 1988 I had 2 choices. Abortion and keep my job and home, or homeless and a parent playing the welfare breeding game.

I am 77 years old. I was a virgin until I was 21 and didn't sleep around. When I was 22 I was date raped, got pregnant, and couldn't find a safe way to have an abortion.
