tomorrow makes two weeks since i had my abortion. i am a 24 year old student pursuing a pharmd while simultaneously working a part-time job in a pharmaceutical setting. i have a loving, supportive fiancé who has also become my closest friend in the time we've been together.

i was 34. i feel it is very important for me to tell my story because i had a very hard time finding stories like mine when i got pregnant accidentally, over 2 years ago.

i waited until i was 18 to have sex and was certain that i knew everything i needed to know. my mom was very open, i read all the books, and had some sex education in high school. what i wasn't prepared for was getting involved with a really good liar.

it was april 2014. i was 22 and i had just moved from michigan to arizona, fresh out of college. it was easter and i was 2,000 miles away from my family. i had met a guy online the day before.

i was 18 and i had no idea that i was pregnant. i had been with my boyfriend for a year and a half, but for the previous 6 months, our relationship had been rocky.

i had an abortion at 19 i had been with my boyfriend for a year but we had been on and off since 16 i was shattered when i found out thought "how could this happen to me" but safe sex was my responsibility.
