I just had an abortion 2 months back. The worst part is I never told anyone about it, not even my boyfriend. I did it because my father is not working and my boyfriend also is not working and is from a poor background. I knew he impregnated me on purpose and the 1st day I told him I was pregnant, he just looked me in the eye and gave my foetus a name after his mum. I wanted to keep my baby with...

I thank God for this web site. I wept watching the videos. I never had access to this kind of information back when I had an abortion.. My story is very similar. I am now 50 years-old. I had an abortion performed on me back in 1978, Friday Dec. 1st to be exact. I was 17 years old and found myself pregnant. I was so scared to tell my parents, but I knew I had to. I had previously told the boy I...

I got pregnant when I was 16. I had it all planned that I would either keep the baby or give it up for adoption. I really wanted to keep him. I waited as long as I could to tell my mother because I knew what her reaction was going to be. I told her the choices I had considered and she refused to hear any of it. She said, "you probably waited till it's too late". I was thinking, "I sure hope so."...

People think that abortion is something that happens one day and then life goes on. Well, yea...life goes on, but it's never the same. I was 18 when I had my abortion. I was young and scared and felt like I had no other option. It cost about 300 dollars or so. I didn't want to be awake to know what the doctor was doing. I went into the clinic and the nurses were very nonchalant about the...

I was 16 when I got pregnant, a year ago on the 15th September. That day was the worst day off my life. I'm a very 'strong' person, I hate to burden people with my problems and I feel like a need to be independent (its a bad family trait). I have never told my parents that I had an abortion. My boyfriend of 2 years told his parents. They agreed abortion was best. I hated the idea and said no so...

I am 21 years old and two weeks ago I had an abortion. I am beginning to feel some regret and I am wishing I had kept the baby. Here is my story, I was working at a car dealership and I met this salesmen there. I have a boyfriend and it's the same one at this particular time. I thought he (salesmen) was so cute and he is so sweet and I was very attracted to him so we went to a bar one night and...

On the 10th of August 2010, I had my beautiful baby boy, Zack, but my happiness was clouded with worry as Zack was born weighing just 2 pounds. But after 3 long weeks, he was well enough to come home – only to be rushed back to the hospital a week later for major surgery. Zack was still just under 4 pounds. By the grace of God our brave boy pulled through. Just 2 weeks later, I found out I was...

I have carried so much emotional pain since my abortion, but since there are many stories about the emotional pain, I want to share the physical and mental trauma associated with abortion... I had two abortions at two different clinics and can tell you that it was the same at both places. The first thing anybody asked about was money... You make your appointment, pay your deposit and, if you live...

I had an abortion last Friday–at 45, recently broken up with my partner and with 3 grown children in their 20's. From the moment I found I was pregnant, all I could think of were reasons I couldn't have a baby. I bitterly regret what I have done. I never for one moment thought about how it would affect me, it was the worst decision I have ever made in my life. I never told a single person that I...

I was 17 and my boyfriend and I stupidly thought that getting pregnant would bring us closer together. It did. We were very excited until his mom shoved $700 our way and told us to fix the problem. My boyfriend was a mama's boy and said this is what has to happen, we will try again in a year or two. I didn't want to lose him, so I agreed... On June 1, 2008, I walked into a clinic all alone,...

I was 17 when I found out that I was pregnant. I didn't know what to do. My boyfriend and I were still in high school, no part time jobs, no car, still living with our parents. It was hard. The only people that knew about it at the time was my mum and boyfriend. Mum pressured me into having an abortion, but I can't blame her because it was I that went into the doctor's room and told her I wanted...

On December 25, 2009, I conceived our third child. I was happy naturally. Another child to love, to hold, to bring more joy into our lives. My gift. But my third child never had a chance. I allowed a man, my very own husband, to wear me down. I was threatened, ignored and brought to my knees in agony and despair. I let the hate and anger from my husband lead me to the place no woman should ever...

I was 21. On June 18, 2009, two days before fathers day, I went to the clinic. My boyfriend took me. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. His parents were a big part of me doing this! I was almost 3 months along, my baby was due on Christmas! I remember going in there, and they would not let my boyfriend in, which made it even harder–sitting in a room with 10 other girls waiting to go into...

I am forty now and at age 16 and 20, I had abortions. I've regretted them both since. All these years later I am still haunted by what I've done. I have two children and they are perfect adults now in their 20's. This is just my silent pain. There is no body to share it with or help. My advice, do not get an abortion.

I killed my baby. That's the only thing that haunts me all the time. No, I will not justify it. I know what I did was wrong and selfish. I can never forgive myself for what I did. I cannot blame anyone but myself. Everytime I think about that phase in my life, something inside me dies a bit. I murdered my baby this very year. I was pregnant during Christmas last year. I kept my baby for three...

My fiance and I had an abortion done on June 17, 2011. We thought making the decision was the hard part, but now we've realized that the hardest part is hating yourself and your partner. We both regret what we did, no matter how we try to rationalize what we did, we just can't stop. We're fighting all the time and growing distant from each other because we're just not what we were. I hate him...

I had an abortion when I was only 15 years old. At first I thought it was the best choice, not only for myself but for my family and boyfriend at the time as well, but of course, it wasn't so. My views about abortion have always been confusing. There are just so many people with a story to tell and they justify this cruel act. A month after my abortion, I began to feel the guilt, the remorse but...

I had an abortion recently, and it was the absolute worst choice I've ever made. I regret it every day, I love my baby so much, what kind of monster am I to have killed my own flesh and blood? If I can, I want to take it all back. I just want my little baby boy......I had a dream before I got pregnant and this beautiful little boy was calling me "mommy." Waking up, I knew it meant something, but...

Back in the 80's abortion was like birth control. We did it. We all did it. We did it and then we went to work, play etc. We didn't think for a second about the unborn "babies" we were destroying. We thought of ourselves. What wasn't "convenient" was discarded. I went on with my life and didn't give what I had done another thought. UNTIL I delivered my first daughter 4 years later. That's when...

When I was 17, I found out I was pregnant a month after my boyfriend of 3 years got kicked out of his parents house. Two weeks later, his job closed down… the week before I found out I was pregnant, he broke up with me so I felt alone and scared… My decision was selfish because my boyfriend's mother was pregnant with him at my age so I felt like I was somehow killing my boyfriend inside. For a...
