I’m 26 years old. I had an abortion when I was 20 yrs old. I now have 2 of my own children and a stepson. My boyfriend hasn’t been able to work since before our last child was born 9 months ago. I started working 3 weeks after my vbac. I’ve missed almost every first with my last and final baby. It’s not logical or even right for me to bring another child into this world with how our life is going right now. I avoided my fertile days and used the withdrawal method. I’m just very fertile. I always have been. This is jumbled, I know, but it’s my process. I would love to keep this baby, to nourish it and feed it from my body. My children that already depend on me are more important. They deserve so much more than this life. I intend to give it to them and I won’t let anything come in the way of that. My last pregnancy was horrendous. I was sick all the time. The day I took the pregnancy to confirm that I was pregnant, my boyfriend was fired. Just overall wasn’t a good time.

My main point and bottom line, I’m having an abortion because it’s the right thing to do for my babies and this fetus. It’s hard, but if it were easy, it wouldn’t be right.
