I had just had a baby in august. A beautiful baby girl. My pregnancy was far then smooth. I was in a abusive relationship and was homeless on and off. My daughter was born perfect though. I ended up getting pregnant again in December with the same abusive man.

At age 35, while in an abusive marriage with two kids, I became pregnant unexpectedly. There had been a conflict in the marriage, and to prove my commitment, I allowed him to have unprotected sex with me.

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'm 26. In 2008 I had a child who was born at 30 weeks. I had many complications, my kidneys almost failed, and my daughter ended up dying. After spending several years drinking and wallowing, I got my life together, I went to college, got a job at Planed Parenthood and began my life again.

When I was 18 I got pregnant. Abortion was illegal then and I couldn't find the back alley. The boy, his parents and my mother pressured me to get married. All the money I had saved for college went for maternity expenses.

I was 16 going on 17, my boyfriend at the time was crap. He was abusive and manipulative, he though I would him since I lost my virginity to my first boyfriend a year before. He would call me a whore and would coerce and force me into having sex with him. After I found out about him cheating on me I went to the clinic, I was tired and I wanted to know I was okay, no STD's.
