Country of birth: United States

Year of abortion: 2006

Country of abortion: United States

Those that Ive told have been very supportive, and thats all that really matters..Anyone else's opinion or reaction means nothing.

Legal status: legal

Type of abortion: in a clinic or hospital with surgery

It only took about 5 minutes and personally, Ive had worse cramps than what I experienced with the surgical abortion...

Reason for abortion: financial issues, my personal reasons for not wanting a child, mental health reasons

Besides just never wanting to have a kid, im mentally and financially unstable..To be honest, being pregnant disgusted me...anyway, glad I did it..I think it would have ruined the relationship I have now...Going through with it together made us closer...I believe you must live for yourself before thinking of living for someone else...

Feelings about abortion: comfortable, peaceful, resolved, relieved, confident, happy, sure

If anything, all of the unchecked ones would have been checked if I hadnt aborted it (trapped,stupid,selfish,guilty,disappointed,angry)..But since I did, I feel relieved..I can concentrate on myself and not have to worry about keeping something else alive..And I know it was the most responsible thing Ive ever done. Its unfair to bring someone else into your world because they have no choice, so there you are making the choice for them and I hope you choose well..I know I did...all without regret. Plus, the worlds overpopulated.

Religion no religion

Children: i have no children
