I was 20 years old. I was in love with the man, but we were not in a relationship, and he had told me it was just sex.
Through a combination of an inadequate education about sex, contraceptives, women’s rights and empowerment, I did not feel confident enough to ask him to use a condom. I was not sure whether I wanted the abortion, he convinced me it was the right thing to do. I had the abortion, I was very upset. We are now married. We had one miscarriage, which I felt was punishment for the abortion. We now have two, beautiful planned children. I am still very emotional about the abortion, and am not 100% sure it was the right thing to do, however I am 100% sure that It is important for the choice to be available, safe and legal.
