I was sixteen when I had my abortion. At the time I found out I was actually pregnant my cousin who I lived with and my sister-in-law were pregnant too. When I thought about how happy I would be I also started to think that I was being selfish because it might make them feel like I only got pregnant because they were, so I made the appointment. My boyfriend was there, and he begged me not to do it, but he stuck by me anyway.

I have nightmares, and I cry when I look at myself because now I feel empty and useless. I want my baby. I keep her ultrasound with me everywhere I go. We even named her. I regret my choice everyday, so think about yourself and the “baby” “YOU” are carrying and no one else. It’s all up to YOU.
