LunaI had an abortion, and I support the rest who do.
How old are you: Between
15
and 21
Country of birth: United States
Year of abortion:
2007
Type of abortion: in a clinic or hospital with surgery
I didn't mind the clinical abortion. Being reassured by my doctor and nurse helped me feel less guilty, and remind me that I was doing the best thing.
Reason for abortion: financial issues, my age (too young or old), physical health reasons, my personal reasons for not wanting a child, mental health reasons
I was a highschool seniour at the time of my abortion. I wouldn'tve minded keeping the child, even though I knew of all the hardships it would bring, though that may be because I knew how much the father wanted a child. But he supported me and my choice. We were both far too young, with no money of our own. And due to my depression and weak body, I probably would have miscarried soon as it was.
Feelings about abortion: peaceful, relieved, confused, happy, ashamed, sure, guilty, afraid
I was afraid when I found out I was pregnant, but I knew that I would HAVE to terminate. I felt bad, since my boyfriend wanted a child, and because I wasn't strong enough to have borne the child he wanted in the first place, and that shamed, angered, and frightened me even more. But afterwards, I felt very calm, and very relieved and at peace with myself, knowing I did the right thing.
