My husband and I both agreed that aborting our second pregnancy was the right choice.
I cried so much that I had no fluids left in me. I lost so much sleep that you would think I was a walking zombie. Just the thought of having it done was already hurting me on the inside.
Weeks later and I made it inside Planned Parenthood. They took such extremally good care of me. I felt love in that building.
I was calm and comfortable when the abortion took place, I felt at peace.
October 16, 2021 would have been the due date. I took time to remember, still at peace with what I did. I planted a tree in the backyard that day.
A month later and I was pregnant again. I wasn't happy or sad, but I was full of disbelief. I knew that I didn't want it, it was the very first thought that entered my mind.
The reason why we had that first abortion was so that our daughter could receive all of our love and attention, and I had those same feelings again for this third pregnancy.
My second abortion was much easier. No fear and no worry about getting it done.
I did go to a different clinic because of the embarrassment of doing again so soon, but that was the only little problem I had with this abortion.
I have no regrets on having two abortions. My only regret is that I have to be so secretive about it. My husband knows, but nobody else does.
And we live in Idaho, a state that is trying to make abortion illegal. None of these people who want to make abortion illegal understand the goodness that abortion can bring.
I am a 25 year old woman who NEVER believed that I would one day have an abortion, and yet I have now had two. I am thankful I had the choice on taking care of myself and my family.
