i was 17 in the autumn of 1993. i lived in the quintessential “small town usa,” and even though my parents knew i was (or had been) sexually active, they were very much against oral contraceptives.

after 5 years of taking birth control pills, i had an iud inserted when i was about 25 years old. i was very pleased with this choice and had no 世界杯赛程2022赛程表中国 with it until i became pregnant a year later.

i am a 37-year-old divorced mother of two young girls. i live in ireland, where abortion is illegal. several years ago i got pregnant unexpectedly by an emotionally abusive and manipulative boyfriend.

when i was 18 i went through a bit of a rough patch, and did not have access to my birth control. i ended up becoming pregnant for the first time.

it was the hardest decision i've ever had to make.

not long after i was divorced, a friend introduced me to a man, also recently divorced, and we became lovers. i was very vulnerable at the time. i got pregnant by him because we had unprotected sex.
