I never thought I'd be in the position, I was. I never thought it would happen to me. I didn't know I was pregnant until I was just over 14 weeks.

My first abortion was when I was 22. I was pregnant with the baby of the man that I'm married to today and that I have three beautiful children with.

nobody ever thinks it’ll happen to them.. before knowing i would experience it first hand myself i had always been pro choice and always a self advocater that women have rights and their own free will with their body.

I had a late term abortion at 27 weeks in August of 2018. I was pregnant with my much wanted third child and up until 25 weeks I was told my daughter was looking great. I was so relieved as I was 35 in in the "advanced maternal age" category. At 25 weeks I went to my doctor for a follow up sonogram to get a view of my baby's heart. That is when my life got turned upside down.

I wrote a note to my unborn child a few days after my abortion. For context, I thought I was 7 weeks pregnant when I had my first ultrasound but I was actually 19 weeks pregnant. I am 19 years old and in college.

I was 22 weeks pregnant, my husband and I couldn't have been happier!
