I am a rapid cycling bipolar who had an abortion due to going completely off meds.

It was 1973, I was a 23 year old mother of 2, attending school and working. When I discovered I was pregnant.

I was in my early thirties, recently divorced and seeing a much younger man. I was depressed.

My husband ran away with a very young woman, leaving me with 4 children to raise alone. The oldest was 8.

As a single mom with three children and very little, if any, help from their father I found I was pregnant again.

I was with my now husband, then boyfriend. I went back and forth between a diaphragm and spermicide. I was very faithful about using birth control.Still, I wound up pregnant.
