i'm married to my high school sweetheart for just under 15 years and have an almost 7 year old. we didn't want more children, much to our family's shock and disapproval.

oddly enough, a couple of days ago i had my first (and sincerely hope to be the last) abortion. i never once in my life thought that i would undergo this procedure. i thought the chances for me getting accidentally pregnant were lower than the chances for a zombie apocalypse.

i just couldn't keep her. it was a one night stand with an ex, he didn't want anything to do with me as soon as i told him. i tried to work out how to move out and raise a baby at the same time but i couldn't make it work.

25. successful. pregnant!??! it was a one night stand with a guy that i've had a sexual past with. we had dated in the past a couple times, and know each other since high school days. & every time i saw him out, i just wanted to rip his clothes off. this time, it really happened.

as i sit here in bed crying, it’s 3:00am and i’m filled with regret. but i will not regret my decision to do what i did, to have had an abortion.

six years ago i discovered i was pregnant whilst in an abusive relationship. i opted for an abortion. the idea that my life would be tied to the fathers filled me with fear.
