My abortion was the best decision I ever made. Neither of us was ready to be a parent. I didn't cry and I don't obsess over it; in fact, it was almost amusing when the sudden whoosh of blood and tissues came out. I'm thankful that I live where abortions are legal, safe, and available. For now...

Year of abortion: 2001

Type of abortion: with medicines

Wonderful. I got the name of the doctor from Planned Parenthood and everyone involved was very honest and up front about everything.

Reason for abortion: my personal reasons for not wanting a child

Just started dating Ryan, and we were both very immature, even though I was 30.

I am working to keep abortion safe and legal, and I'm glad to have a forum where I can tell my story.
