I thought this only happened to "dumb" "irresponsible" girls.

So, hi ... I'm 27, I'm a med student. I'm getting ready to start my internship. I have a 4.0 gpa. I am in class and clinic almost 70 hours a week.

Tomorrow I'm having an abortion.

I've always been pro life, believing that girls who ended up in a situation needing an abortion, we're irresponsible. Girls who didn't use protection, then found themselves in a pickle. Well let me let you in on a little secret.

F*** what I thought!

I have an IUD, and I'm pregnant. Well that's just great for my future plans. pregnancy will fit well into my schedule of not having time to eat hardly ever, or sleep. Yep, not happening.

Yes, I told the father. He's a med student also. We did everything we were supposed to do. Get serious first. Use protection. When we decided to stop using condoms I got an IUD 99% my ass.

Neither of us want this right now. Adoption isn't going to work with my schooling. I'm 400,000 in debt with student loans and in the program of a lifetime! Neuroscience isn't going to wait until I'm done ... birthing. I'd likely stress/starve a fetus to death.

So yeah, I'm just here to say I'm sorry. Sorry for having an assholish opinion on what's okay for other women's bodies and having an assholish opinion that women who end up here are careless.

*sigh*

Edit: Let me better explain why adoption won't work. Plain and simple I would fall behind in my schooling. I am in a program where I was chosen over about 1000 other applicants who wouldn't hesitate to smash you like a bug if you got in their way to the degree. So yes, I would be dropped like a hot rock, prenatal appointments take time, and ultimately it would slow me down. That's not even counting healing afterwards.

Call me selfish, if you wish.
