“I was a mother of three young children when I became pregnant in 2007. Abortion was the best option for and my daughters."
The night of my 21st birthday was the most careless night of my life, but not like most careless 21 year olds. That was the night I got pregnant, with my 3rd child.
I'm married to my high school sweetheart for just under 15 years and have an almost 7 year old. We didn't want more children, much to our family's shock and disapproval.
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.
As I sit here in bed crying, it’s 3:00am and I’m filled with regret. But I will not regret my decision to do what I did, to have had an abortion.
Six years ago I discovered I was pregnant whilst in an abusive relationship. I opted for an abortion. The idea that my life would be tied to the fathers filled me with fear.
