i am a 23 year old woman from a small, extremely conservative town in rural ohio. for years, i was fed ridiculous information in school and at church.

i am 49 and i have had two abortions. one when i was 28 and one when i was 34. both times i was married. the first time we were newly married and i knew we were not ready emotionally or financially to care for a child. as it turned out, we ended up divorcing.

when the doctor at the clinic at my school told me i was pregnant (i was already pretty sure), i told her i wanted to terminate the pregnancy, and she was very supportive. i hadn't even really considered having the baby. i knew that abortion was the right choice for me at that point in my life.
