Abortion is so much more complicated than we realize. I had an abortion in 1979 when I was 19. I struggled terribly with the decision but ultimately felt that I had no choice.

I was 19 years old and in business college.

I had an abortion 8 weeks before I turned 40.

I am the secret majority. Here I sit, a happily married 31 year old mother of two in the house I own with my two dogs and my cup of tea.

The year was 1992 and I had just turned 18

I always knew I wanted to be a mom.
