my husband of 7 years and i had been trying to get pregnant for many years. when i finally saw that + on the test i was so happy i cried. it was not soon after that we started to get abnormal test results back.

vivo en colombia, un país muy religioso y donde el aborto es ilegal excepto en tres casos. pero cuando supe que estaba embarazada, también sabía que si le contaba a alguien, no tendría la libertad de decidir: me tocaría tener el hijo (por ley) y mi familia jamás me dejaría darlo en adopción (por un sentido de amor a la vida y a la familia).

i am 24 years old and have had 2 abortions. the first was while i was in a serious, or so i thought, relationship. from the moment i found out i was pregnant, i was scared and upset. the man i was with at the time agreed. the 2 weeks i waited, i pushed to possibly keep the pregnancy. no go.

i have had two abortions, 18 years apart. in between that time, i also had a child with my ex-husband, who is now ten years old (and a wonderful kid!).the first abortion i had was in 1995; i was 19, in college, and realized i was pregnant by my long distance boyfriend. although i had been raised in a very conservative, christian environment, once i found out i was pregnant, i instantly knew abortion was the right decision for me.

hello. i've had two abortions in my lifetime. the first at 14 after i had been raped by a neighbor. that cost me membership to my church and being ostracized because members of my family felt the need to judge me and bring others into it.

it was 1987, and i was 19 years old. i was on the pill, but clearly it failed. i was a freshman in college, and i doubt i took the pill exactly how one should, at the same time every day. i was in a dysfunctional relationship with a young man with whom i actually had nothing in common.
