i got pregnant a year and a half ago, when i was 22, and you know what, i wanted to have it. i wanted to have it but the “father” didn’t. he went through something of a four stage reaction.

i had my first abortion when i have 18. the only person who knew was my boyfriend, he didn't handle it well and didn't realize how hard it was for me.

i had an abortion when i was 20, in 2007.

i was 22 when i had my abortion. i had just graduated college and moved across the country to live with my boyfriend. i was on birth control, but not diligent about taking it, i used to joke with my friends that i was infertile.

i am 57 years old and just two people know i have had an abortion - my partner at the time and my sister. i have never told a soul - until now - that i have actually had three. the shame has been too great.

i had an abortion in 1969. i had tried to get birth control pills but the doctor refused to give me a prescription because he didn't believe in premarital sex.
