I had two abortions. Both happened during long term relationships. First pregnancy happened at 18, just because we were too young and silly. I’m incredibly happy that I did that and could study and work without any other “problems”. I wasn’t ready, nor was my bf. Later I found out that he is a terrible man who lied to me a lot and who was stealing my money.

I had my abortion over a year ago now on April 12th 2013, I was 21 years old and 8 weeks pregnant. I had been dealing with morning sickness for weeks just thinking I was sick or had an allergy to something I was eating, being pregnant wasn't even a possibility in my mind since I was on the pill.

I was 22 years old and a senior in college when my boyfriend left me for another girl. I became very depressed and didn't find out I was pregnant until two months later. I was angry at myself for being so irresponsible, at my ex-boyfriend for the way he treated me, and at my family because I knew if I'd told them about the pregnancy, they'd have made me carry it to term.

When I found out in college I was pregnant I was instantly filled with panic and fear. I instantly knew I would have an abortion, I just dreaded having to actually figure out where and how, and wondered what it would be like to go through it alone. After it was all arranged and I arrived on the day I was really surprised to see who filled up the waiting room.

I was 23 years old. I had been with my boyfriend for 6 months. I was just starting my last year of Graduate School. Then, the unthinkable happened, my IUD failed.

I got pregnant as a teen, by my boyfriend. He was irresponsible, and I had mental health problems. My parents were older, old enough to be my grandparents. They were not able or willing to help me raise a child. So they took me to have the surgical procedure, which was performed by an ob/gyn. He's the one who had verified that I was pregnant. The next year, still a teen having mental problems, I got pregnant again, by another irresponsible boyfriend.
