“My decision for an abortion started 4 months after my daughter was born; exactly a year after I had found out I was pregnant with her. Both pregnancies unplanned, both shocking. This pregnancy was even more shocking. My husband and I had: tracked my period, pulled out AND I took a morning after pill. I bled and bled after the morning after pill, so I had assumed it worked.
I was 5 weeks 5 days when I took the test. I immediately considered an abortion. It has been a difficult decision to go through with. We don’t have the reasons you read about on the internet. We can afford it, we are married, our family would be thrilled, and most of all…my husband is a member of the LDS Church. But not all people get abortions because they can not afford it, were raped, aren’t married… and their reasons are just as valid!
See, I’m a student in a pretty challenging program. We also have sole custody of my stepsons, and we are going through some challenging times with them. My pregnancies are awful...
