I've had 2 abortions. The first one, I was 20 and had a one night stand. I wanted to keep it and was set to, but the guy was set on convincing me otherwise.
The winning line was, "don't you want to have a child with someone you love or at least know?
Fast forward to 35, I'm dating my boss and we're hitting it off and I get pregnant the first or second time we had sex, even though I said not to cum in me. He did anyways. I had only known him 2 months and decided to end the pregnancy and get to know eachother more.
Now I'm 36, we're still getting to know eachother, and I think I may be pregnant again right now by another one night stand by a friend who I never intended on hooking up with (a drunken night).
I am yearning for a child, but definitely not with this guy. My clock is ticking at 36 but I would still rather have a child with someone I love and want to be with.
If I am pregnant by him, this will be my 3rd abortion.
I see my decisions as an act of faith, rather than acting on fear of not having another chance.
Strange, all my longest relationships in 15 years, I never got pregnant when I wanted to. What I've learned, is that choice and intentions are important and powerful.
