Sharing Truth Two Abortions, Location Not Given We are working through a lot of things, and something I’ve made clear to him is I’m nowhere near ready to have his child after what happened.

Sep 8 Sep 8 "We both wanted to keep it, but with our financial situation we couldn't." Sharing Truth Two Abortions, U.S. “I was lied to by my ex one night where he said he didn't finish inside. Weeks later he kept insisting to take a test and I didn't know why. It came out positive. I was furious because he could've told me and I would've taken a plan B instead.

Aug 2 Aug 2 "As much as you could wish for a different scenario, you’re in this one now, and the best way to deal with it is to stop thinking of all the stereotypes ever heard about abortion!"

Sharing Truth Two Abortions, Canada “My period was a week late and I truly thought it was just stress. My boyfriend and I had been EXTREMELY careful, except one night.
