I have had three abortions. Considering that I became sexually active at age 15 and knew then that I never wanted to give birth, and I am now 44, I think three is a pretty small number.

My husband and I decided to have an abortion early in our marriage. We still prefer to remain childless. The pressure to explain our choice to not have children is itself bad enough; the current cultural taboo of admitting an abortion is strangling.
I felt alone for years, until a friend I met in 2010 revealed she, too, had an abortion. Now I'm not alone.
I was sure on my decision. I don't regret it. I just wish people would accept me, and not hate me.
I was a 23-year-old alcoholic and drug addict. By God's grace, I went into rehab and got sober in April of '92. I got pregnant the first week out of treatment.
The pregnancy that I terminated was very much wanted and planned. But at 16 weeks, an ultrasound showed that there was not enough amniotic fluid.
