I have had two abortions. One at 19, I had been talking to a recruiter about joining the military and found out that I had gotten pregnant from a college hookup. I had an abortion and joined the Army three months later.

I had my second in my healthy, perfect relationship at age 26. Neither of us were ready for the commitment or financial strife that a child would bring. It was the best decision for BOTH of us.

I regret neither of them and my mental health and quality of life is better because of the access to abortion.
