Love and kindness to all the women who have had an abortion or will have an abortion.

I am a 38 year old male, and I have been married for 16 years now to a lovely woman, and we ourselves have chosen abortion on two different occasions.

My wife also had an abortion prior to our relationship, and her trusting me in telling me such a difficult decision in her past only made our relationship stronger.

My wife and I have three children, a son who is 15 and two daughters who are 10 and 7. It was the gift of abortion that helped us plan our family and helped us financially prepare for the children that we wanted.

Don't ever let anybody take control of what you should do. Do what you believe is the right choice and never doubt yourself with your decision.
