My boyfriend at that time basically said it is my own choice; I left him two months afterwards. In retrospect, I am glad about this (both, that he left the choice to me without trying to interfere, and that I quitted him - which didn't really have anything to do with the abortion itself but a lot with him being not strong enough for me).
My family respected my decision because I promised to bite off the head of the first one to piss me off about it.
I made up my mind about not having children very early, and when I got pregnant I did not have to think twice about what I wanted to do. I do not feel bad about having had an abortion.

I will be eternally grateful to my doctor who diagnosed me with something that made it necessary to terminate the pregnancy - which was not exactly the truth but spared me the humiliating and totally unnecesary talks to an adivisor. Those talks to an advisor are demanded by the law. I call bullshit on that. They are unnecessary, and a gamble for time, because it takes ages to get an appointment.

I made up my mind that I just don't WANT children. End of discussion. So, when my doctor announced that I was pregnant, my immediate response was "then do something against it."
