I have had five abortions. I do not regret my decision to terminate any of them.
The first was caused by carelessness.
The second was a broken condom.
The third was a severe reaction to a diaphram that had to be removed early. The forth was fetus that was not growing/surviving and I did not wait for the miscarriage to end the pregnancy.
The fifth was at the end of a relationship.
I now have a beautiful, healthy 15 month old baby and my husband and I are trying to have another.
