Here is my abortion story.

I have had two abortions, both traumatic, both for very different reasons.

When I was 16 I was in an abusive relationship with a man about 4 years older than me. I lost my virginity to him, and I got pregnant the first time we had unprotected sex.

I had 2 kids and already married and divorced by time I turned 19. I fell in love with the wrong kind of man, he hit me and made me feel awful about myself. I had no intention getting pregnant ever again and when I did I almost went through with the pregnancy.

Happily married mother, disabled from child abuse, zero support besides my husband and a teen with autism who physically abuses me daily.

I'm called a murderer, a sinner, and worse. I made the decision to terminate a planned and wanted pregnancy because my baby was dying inside of me and her condition could have become "mirror syndrome" and cause damage and swelling to my organs as well.
