I had an abortion when I was only 15, and my choice was ripped from me by my own father. At the time I did not have access to any information on the matter and my father forced me to go in and have an abortion. I still resent my father for this. Not even a year later I got pregnant again and this time I hid my pregnancy until a week before my due date and had my son.
Fast forward to 21. Still living in my father’s house with my son and a new boyfriend. We knew that we were nowhere near ready in any way to have another child. When I found out I was pregnant I went up to him and said I know what I need to do but how do you feel and he said whatever I need to do he would be behind me. So I had the procedure done and never once regretted it because it was my choice.
Now we are married and have a 1 1/2 year old daughter and my son who is 10. If it weren’t for abortion neither of them would be here.
Remember that our stories are ours to tell. We’d love to hear your story too!
