i was 40 years old. i had already grieved 4 miscarriages. i suffered years of pelvic pain and depression afterward.

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.

my first pregnancy was at 16 yrs old, and i knew it was wrong. i didn't have an abortion because my religious mother cried to me not to.

i had an abortion at 16 weeks. i was 27. my boyfriend and i had just bought a house. having a child was not planned, but we were not avoiding having children. so i got pregnant.

i had an abortion at 18. i was neither emotionally, physically, or financially capable of raising a child.

i was pregnant with my second child and was so happy. in my mind i had no reason to believe there would be any problems, but i got a rude awakening at my 12 week ultrasound.
