I've never had an abortion and am not 'for' them but I don't discriminate against women who have them. I especially won't be bashing you for answering honestly either, even more so because I'm asking you.
I know someone who has admitted that they only had one to keep her body from changing during her prime years and now regrets it. I just wanted to know if you've ever regreted your decision and why did you make that choice at the time?

i got one when i was 21 years old and i did it simply because i was so young and could barely take care of myself and i didn't know where my boyfriend and i were headed, if we were meant to be...and honestly, it tops as one of the worst experiences of my life. If i could take it back, i would. The boyfriend is now my husband and we suffered a miscarriage on the anniversary of my abortion and i felt as if it were God's way...of not punishing me, but akin to that. On the positive side, i found out i was pregnant on that anniversary as well, and now i have a beautiful 4 month old...but i still think of the fact that i could have had a 7 years old right now.

Most women aren't getting abortions to keep their bodies from changing. That's terribly rare. I got pregnant in a month when I was using three forms of birth control. I was 24, and I had just broken up with my bf of three years (who had met the woman he was going to marry), when I realized that I got pregnant from the last time we had sex. He wasn't going to stick around, I didn't want to be attached to him forever through a child, and I had tried really, really hard not to get pregnant. An abortion was the best choice. I feel a little sad about it, but if I had to go back to where I was then, I would make the same choice again. There are enough children in the world. I think that people who are pro-life should adopt children who aren't going to be adopted otherwise. I volunteered at a clinic, and when a white girl walked in with a black boyfriend, the pro-lifers would yell, "Don't do it, don't murder your baby" but when a white girl would walk in with a white companion, they would yell, "Don't do it, I'll adopt your baby." So, if the pro-lifers care, they should be adopting all babies, not just the white ones. And I don't see a lot of the pro-lifers adopting kids anyway. They only care about fetuses, not about living children.

The arguments are: each and every individual, alongside with pregnant human beings, have the stunning to their very own bodies and lives; illegalizing it motives the deaths and different harm to those who seek for or get abortions illegally. Re your extra -- this is fairly not what you asked; now you're asserting you prefer motives women human beings might opt for terminating or wearing to term. NO a similar question in any respect as whether it may be criminal or unlawful. this is not actual that each and every woman has confronted this selection, or perhaps been pregnant, so would not understand interior the way women people who've experienced undesirable being pregnant do. you could not ward off human beings from answering your questions. yet then, you do not might desire to take any given answer heavily. BTW, the final public opinion interior the U. S. helps women human beings's perfect to opt for.

i had my tubes tied after my daughter was born, i got pregnant anyway two years later, i was a basket case, i got an abortion and never looked back then i got my tubes tied again and had my husband get a vasectomy, my daughter also had one because she was married to a man who was mentally whacked out, most all of that stuff is genetic, so she would be trying to raise a kid with him around and the kid likely would have trouble, thank god she had one, and got a divorce, now shes married to the right man, and has a perfect little girl almost 3. not every person is right, not every time is right, and sometimes there are health situations, so abortion is one way, and we need to deal with zero population growth, back in the 70s us hippy types were into that, this world needs quality children from quality adults, not the insane, the sick and the welfare crowd.

My parents divorced, I lived with an alcoholic functional dad who married an x heroin addict who had her daughter while using him to go to law school.
She was so mean to me and my dad hit me. I hung out with someone who was 21 while I was 15. He was a manipulative S.O.B.
It took one time and I didn't like the sex as he was an insensitive and selfish person.
I chose abortion to finish school because my mother, who lives alone, wasn't about to quit teaching to raise a baby.
It was devastating to find out I was pregnant. It was a relief and painless to get an abortion.
Psychologically I was angry at two older women who asked my age at the clinic. When I told them they started whispering about me like I wasn't even there. I wanted to hit them because they had no idea what I had been through and how scared I was.
I also ran into women calling me a murderer on my way into the clinic. I have to say that to this day, I wouldn't care if they died a horrible death for doing that to me.
That's it.

I have never regretted it. We were a married couple with one child. We didn't feel we could afford or want another child at that time.
