Caroline |
Despite
being the same age, 15, and the same number of weeks pregnant, my experience and
my daughter's experience were 30 years and 2 worlds apart. |
|
Kris |
Somehow,
I have a strange self-love as a woman for having the abortion. I feel very in
touch with my body. |
Sharina |
I
had always said it was a woman's choice, but now the choice was mine. |
|
Loretta |
I
don't like what society does to us with these myths that we're supposed to be
so grateful and excited about being pregnant. |
D |
If I had decided to keep it and my father found out about me
getting pregnant, he would probably have disowned me and shot my boyfriend. (no
joke) |
|
Jen |
The
biggest thing this shows is that no one can get into another's skull and understand
their life enough to make (or even fully understand) their decisions for them.
|
Deseray
Lynn |
It
all started with me ending a long term (5 year) relationship and going off The
Pill two months later because I didn't see my ex and me getting back together. |
|
Sophia |
I
want to have this baby for my daughter to have a sibling, but also want to have
the abortion to avoid having this man in my life forever. |
Sarah |
I
never thought that I would ever have to face this decision. |
|
Candace |
If there were only more places of refuge for young women like
me. |
Taniyah |
Having unprotected sex on the weekends is what caused my first pregnancy. |
|
Janelle |
If
you are going to have a abortion I would tell you that it not that bad and it
was very easy! |
Anne |
On
the way to the clinic I was pretty numb. I couldn't believe I was doing this. |
|
Felicity |
Someday,
we will have children and I am convinced that the baby I let go will return to
me. Someday, it will be her time. |
Tee |
I
want my story to inspire someone who may feel they can't go on. I gained a new
family in my boyfriend's family. |
|
Heather |
We
just bought a our dream house, I just got a new job. I still feel guilty, but
we never could have accomplished this much so fast with a baby. |
Emilia |
I broke up with him last May. I found out I was one month pregnant in June |
|
Myrtle |
I
was in high school and I was raised without a father. I didn't want to put my
children through that. |
Kristina |
I
was 18, a college freshman, no steady job, and was more confused then I had ever
been in my entire life. |
|
Emily |
It
was the hardest decision-I was raised pro-life and I am very close to my parents
and hate disappointing them |
Half |
Even the most devout people can change their views.
|
|
Faith |
I
was in love! He was everything I dreamed a man could be. |
Jaimie |
For
me to question meant I was not ready. |
|
Ruth |
Many
hours I spend tossing, turning not knowing which path to take. |
Deirdre |
I'm grateful I am safe to be able to make this choice. | |
Elizabeth |
I soon realized the guilt was borrowed, and not truly my own. |
Phaedra |
I
embraced and still embrace my grief. However, my life is
back on track. |
|
Pam |
I have been researching the options, abortion, adoption and
of course keeping the baby. |
Violet |
Whatever
you decide to do make sure that in your heart you are doing it for yourself, no-one
else. |
|
Angie |
For
me, the decision was easy. |
Denise |
Having
another baby would ravage more lives than it would benefit, and I'm not going
to follow one selfish act with another. Some may think I'm selfish for not keeping
it, but it's all in the perspective. |
