I had 2 abortions, the first one was when I was 16. I knew I was not ready to have a child.
I didn’t know if I ever wanted to have children and I didn't want a pregnancy at 16 to be a deciding factor for my future.
The second one I was 24 and I honestly had a lot going on my life from financial depression to just life in general and I didn't want to add more to my plate.
Yes, I have decided that I want to have children, but I want them to come to steady life.
With the first, I was too emotional and felt guilty for taking a life, but grew to understand my decisions.
My friends and family respected my decision, but my boyfriend was devastated as he felt he was ready.
The second time it was between me and my boyfriend and it was a mutual decision.
