Kristen's Story

Hi,

My name is Kristen. I am 21 years old and I have had two abortions. I had my first one when I was 19. I really should have been more careful with my pills, the second time was not any easier than the first.

I am a college graduate, two days from now, and I find it hard to cope with, that I had a second abortion. I really think that I will make it through, just having two kids now is a scary thought. Next time I get pregnant, I will definitely keep the baby and I know that it will be a planned pregnancy. I just never thought that it would happen to me...again.

Thank you for having such a supportive page. I feel a lot better about myself and my decision.

My prayers are with you,
Kristen

Without abortion providers there is no choice. And without choice women cannot be free to live and plan their lives.
