I had an abortion, Because i got pregnant when my 2nd daughter was just 7 weeks old while using a condom. My husband and I could not support 3 children financially. We have dreams of buying a house and sending our daughters to college one day! My kids dont desearve to suffer from something there parents accedentally did. We are happy with two kids also, we have been very very poor before (when my oldest was a baby) and I am not bringing my girls back there again! They desearve everything we have to offer them! I made the right choice! Before the abortion I felt confident with my choice, after I felt relived that it was over! I am not heartless I cried as the procedure was almost over, It was relife and wishing that the whole pregnancy had never even happend! I have not once regreted my abortion.

My mom was and husband were totally supportive, so were most of my friends (I didnt tell any prochoice people i knew till after and they were nice about it even though they disagreed with what i did( since i dont know too many extreamists!)

I have shared my story on myspace a lot and i get nasty messages a lot and rude replies from extreamists saying all kinds of horrible things about hoping i die and that i am a horrible mom and that my kids will hate me when they find out i "killed" there brother or sister! I just delete them. I dont need that stuff bringing me down! It doesnt work on me either! I still have no regrets

Type of abortion: in a clinic or hospital with surgery

it was good, noone poked there in to my business about it, just got my health info and did it (I was at a private clinic)
