This story was submitted to us.
I don't have the gift of gab like all of these other women who have told their story, but I can at least add my story on here and say that I have had two abortions.
My first abortion was when I was 20 years old. That abortion gave me a college degree, a career, a place to live, a wonderful husband, and three beautiful children.
My second abortion was last week. I'm 33 years old, I love the life I live, and I didn't want to start over.
What I do regret, and what I probably always will regret, is not telling my husband. I never told him about my first one, and my husband is on the edge of pro-life and I knew he would say no to this.
I didn't see the need of causing multiple arguments with him when I already knew what was best for our family, plus I have too much of a heart for him to cause him pain and suffering when I already knew I wouldn't give him any say in this.
Maybe it's evil of me to keep this from him, but things are going to be so much easier now that we don't have to take care of a fourth child.
Other than that it is just so wonderful to live in a country that allows us women to make whatever choice we want to make.
None of us should be forced on having a baby that we don't want. And sometimes secrets are a good thing, and I know this secret is going to be a very good thing in the long run.
