My Abortion Story

I see a lot of posts and comments about people who regret their abortions, who don't approve of them, etc. I had one when I was 17 years old and I have never regretted it. Yes it was a tough decision to make and it was hard to get the money together for it, but struggling to get the money just proved that we would never have been able to afford to look after a child, financially or emotionally. My family weren't supportive of my relationship and most definitely wouldn't have been happy to have a baby to support (they also did not have the means). I am with the same partner, TTC and we have never spoken of it again. We struggled financially and we had a lot of problems in our marriage and it's only since last year that we felt we were in the position to have another child. I am now 31 years old, having the abortion was one of the smartest, yet painful decisions of my life. It was hard emotionally, not going to lie, and I have thought of the milestones I've missed, and I do still cry occasionally about it. But I don't regret it.
