Abortion and Motherhood Series: Day Four

Thanks to NAF and its member clinic, I have a second chance to keep pushing and thriving towards my goals in life. I am 22 years old and have a 2-year-old daughter. She is my world and in order to give her my all I have made the decision to not have any more children. I made a mistake in getting pregnant this time and now I know to be much more careful. I am happy that there are places like this clinic that give young women like me a second chance at life. Thank you.

Over one-third of women of reproductive age have an abortion by the age of 45. However, women who have chosen abortion are often absent from the public debate. In order to break the silence surrounding abortion, we feature real stories from real women on our blog.
