I had an abortion when I was 22 years old; I am now 31. At the time of the abortion, I was six months into living with my boyfriend. Now, nine years later, neither myself nor my boyfriend, who is now my husband, have ever had a single regret about our decision. It was the absolute best thing we could do at the time, being so young and new to our relationship. Today we are still happily together and have a lovely and amazing 18 month old.
Abortion is, and should always be, a woman's choice.
