I was 20 years old and in a terribly dysfunctional relationship. Mentally and emotionally abusive, as well as the constant infidelities.

I was 14 years old. My step father's brother took advantage of me and my undying need to please older men that reminded me of my abusive father.
Your 1 in 3 Valentine's Day campaign really touched me, my due date 4 years ago was Valentine's Day. It gives me relief to know through websites like yours, that I am not alone. I no longer feel ashamed by my choice, I am pro-life, but by pro-life I mean that of the mother as much as the child, I have the right to make choices about my own existence, my own happiness and my own path.
I'm in my early 30s, married, never before pregnant. I just returned home from a surgical abortion. I grew up with a strict father and born again Christian mother, and my parents consider abortion to be the worst thing...killing a child.
I had been married for 4 years when I became pregnant. I was 26 years old. My husband did not want a child at the time and convinced me to have an abortion. I was feeling really sick, so it was an easy decision.
I was 14 years old, and I was raped. He was more than twice my age, and he was my then boyfriend's older brother. I'm from a severe Catholic family, so I knew that they wouldn't understand.
