Though I was raised in a Catholic family and apparently encouraged to participate in a “Right to Life” poster contest as a child,I can’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t pro-choice.

It has been nearly 2 years since I made that decision, and I have no regrets. I am so thankful that I was allowed to make a choice, and make the best decision regarding my long term health and well being.
I was one of the lucky ones. I lived in Ohio, and I was a senior in high school. It was the day before prom, and I took a pregnancy test in a CVS bathoom with my best friend reading the directions.
I’m Catholic and I’ve had an abortion. I was 15 when I had to make the choice. At 15 I was not ready to become a young teen mom.
My story can be quite typical, I was 18 and a half and had just discovered the world of sexuality. I had been in a long term relationship, with whom I thought was the love of my life.
