"I am 26 years old right now and I just found out I am pregnant. My boyfriend and I have only been together for 3 months and we are just not ready to have a baby yet so soon into our relationship.

This is going to be my second abortion and I have such a fear of being judged because of the decision my boyfriend and I have agreed upon. My first pregnancy was when I was 21 or 22 years old and the guy I was with had a son already and never took care of him. I made that decision on my own to have an abortion. This time my boyfriend and I made the decision together and we are going to go together to the doctor for this procedure." (anonymous)
