I was 20 years old and not mentally, physically, or financially equipped to raise two children.
When I found out I was pregnant with twins, I was getting over my eating disorder, and I was 98 lbs. My partner and I lived five hours away from each other. I knew abortion was the right decision for me.
I remember feeling shame, guilt, and very alone as I walked into the abortion clinic with my boyfriend. The people outside the clinic were yelling at me, calling me “mom” and vomiting their religious beliefs at me.
I will always wonder what they would have looked like and who they would have been, but I have never regretted my decision. I am so thankful I had a choice at the time.
That abortion saved my life. We know best what we should do with our bodies.
