I am a 40yr old married woman with a child. I became pregnant earlier this year unintentionally. I was taking birth control pills and had been for 20 years and I still got pregnant. I was told that the birth control pills I was taking were a generic form, and they were not as consistent quality wise as a brand name. We were not willing to follow through and have a baby at our ages, as I had medical issues with my previous pregnancy. We were relieved that abortion was available and I have not had any second thoughts about it. I will continue to support a woman's right to choose for the rest of my life.
