Country of birth: Philippines

Year of abortion: 2010

Country of abortion: Philippines

They do not know that I had one. Everybody believes that I had a miscarriage. I cannot let them know since I am very afraid of being judge.

Type of abortion: with medicines

It was easier than I expected. There was pain but it was tolerable. Still, I do not encourage it especially to younger people.

Reason for abortion: financial issues, my age (too young or old), my personal reasons for not wanting a child, family size

It was an unplanned pregnancy and I was not ready to bear a child again. I am married and I have two children.

The big responsibility at work and home made me decide that I wanted to have abortrion.

I feel that the size of my family is enough. I want to enjoy married life too. I just feel that the responsibility of raising up the kids has taken its toll on our married life.

Feelings about abortion: grieving, resolved, relieved

I felt relief after knowing that I was not pregnant anymore but sometimes I think about my unborn child.

I acknowledge that what I did was a sin and to this day I ask forgiveness from GOD. I am grieving inside for my unborn child. I am sorry my son.

I just feel and believe that motherhood is a choice. However, I also do not encourage abortion. It was a personal decision that I had to make on my own.
