Regret

I regret my abortion. There is not a day that goes by that I wish I hadn’t made a different choice. I made the choice I thought was right and later changed my mind. But that is what choice is and that is what choice means and I refuse to feel shame. Full bodily autonomy, the freedom to make one’s own choices does not mean we will all  always make the right ones. But they are our choices and we deserve the right to make them no matter what. My story is important too, because I will not accept shame for a choice that was mine to make. These are our bodies our choices and nobody else’s business.
