I had high expectations for my future, as a sexual and mental abuse survivor I wasn’t ready. I wanted to get an education so I can provide for my children. Misguided on love and friendship, relationships, especially with men. Truth hurts when you realize relationships lasted just for sex, how about jealousy and envy placed upon you by ppl you thought love and cared for you. But now I realize none of it matters, if a male gets a female pregnant and leaves,she has to …

I am 64 years of age and had 3 abortions during 1982-83. I didn’t plan for my life to change abruptly after being diagnosed with fibroid tumors and advised to have emergency surgery to remove them and no guarantee or hysterectomy! I declined both options!

He said he would never recognize that 2nd child if I chose to keep it, and he would definitely complete the divorce.

So when the clinic made me feel like they cared and was going to help me, I thought it was no big deal. I was blinded.

I knew women that had abortions. I never judged them, but I knew it was not something I would ever consider. In a split second my entire life shifted! Everything I thought I knew about my beliefs changed right before my eyes. Life as I knew it was over because here I was considering terminating my pregnancy.
