“Plan A was to get pregnant when I was ready but when he sneakily didn’t use a condom*, I resorted to Plan B (the ‘morning after pill’). Unfortunately, Plan B didn’t work so I came up with a new plan- abortion! I never questioned if I was making the right decision – I knew I wasn’t ready to be a mom yet – but at the time abortion felt like a scary, lonely word, mostly because I’d not heard of anyone in my life having one. I’m happy to shout it out now! I feel lucky it was relatively easy to access one, and now I know abortions happen, and are needed, by so many people. Years later, I decided I was ready to be a mom and now I have two kids who are my world. My life would have been very different if I didn’t have my abortion and I’m so grateful for it.”
Note from SYA: removing a condom without someone’s knowledge, or stealthing, is sexual assault. It is against the law in CA and we dream of the day when it becomes illegal worldwide. It is never ok for anyone to do this. Love to the OP ...
