The minute I had my daughter, I knew that the two abortions I had had previously
(1 at age 17, 1 at age 26) were absolutely the right choice for me.

I am in the unenviable position of having had both an abortion, & a child I placed for adoption.

My husband and I had been married for just six months when I found out I was pregnant. He was in grad school and working part time; I was working full time.

In 1968 abortion was not legal. I was 19, wildly in love, naive and unready to have a child. An abortion was arranged with an MD.

So I'm 30 years old, recently engaged to be married and so happy to be in love with a sweet guy. I'm pretty regular, so when my period didn't come in over a week I started to get nervous.

I'm an only child. I'm pretty sure my mom didn't want me. Even through this hard truth, she still remains the love of my life. She described my conception as a 'planned accident'. My dad wanted a litter and my mom wanted none.
