It was painful and it sucked.

I bled a lot, I cried a lot.

It was the right choice and the only choice.

Dating a man I loved with two kids of my own- not ready to be pregnant again.

I was on birth control.

Nothing could have talked me out of it. Not the 42 hour waiting period, not the before hand required class from a nurse, not them showing me the little blob on the ultrasound machine and not the overly expensive price.

Now that man and I are married and we have had the CHOICE to go on to have two beautiful sons. Two sons who would not exist now if I had been forced to keep a clump of cells. I wouldn’t have their smiles, laughter and love.

I would do it again.
