## Caption

“I’ve had 5 abortions. …I asked myself if I could do this by myself, have the child regardless if my boyfriend moved with me or not, but I added in everything else (his family, how they’d react, my current heart/lung condition due to stress / my exes & always holding my breath, my financial state, knowing I needed to go back to school, my baby-daddy drama….) The solid difference between this abortion & the rest, is that I asked for birth control after I took the medicine. Also, this abortion was completely covered by an emergency insurance provided in this state, saving me nearly $575, which made me feel a little bit more as ease, the financial part of this experience from the state covering it, made me feel supported & like I wasn’t doing something wrong to myself. This time was tough, but I learned a lot. While although some people can walk away from an abortion without looking back, this one specifically is taking some time to forgive myself for knowing how excited I was when I found out. I even told me sister as soon as I took the pregnancy test. I didn’t want to lie to her, so it was another challenge having to tell her all of this. I’m very grateful my sister is as understanding & empowering as she is, her telling me it’s not her body, or her choice.

Reading forums like this online & writing out my own story has helped me DEEPLY with my emotions and self-inflicted guilt toward the decisions I made. Thank you for the opportunity to share & thank you for listening.” 💕 Visit our stories for a link to this person’s full story on our website. #shoutyourabortion #abortion #proabortion #reproductiverights #reproductivehealth #youknowme #1in4
