i was 18 and i had no idea that i was pregnant. i had been with my boyfriend for a year and a half, but for the previous 6 months, our relationship had been rocky.

i had an abortion at 19 i had been with my boyfriend for a year but we had been on and off since 16 i was shattered when i found out thought "how could this happen to me" but safe sex was my responsibility.

i was in a fight with my boyfriend when i had found out i was pregnant. i knew we were potentially on the verge of a breakup. i chalked up the feeling ill, sleepy, and dazed to being stressed out.

i got pregnant at the age of 19, i had two jobs and was a full time student. i lived in a small southern town, and didn’t even realize that abortion was a real option or how to even go about getting one.

i had just turned 30. i was content, healthy and in a somewhat stable relationship (that dissolved not long after the event). i had a job in finance
for the government and i had recently relocated from australia to new zealand.

i had an abortion in october of 2014. after being a single parent for 10 years, i didn't want to do it all over again.
