Reason for the abortion:
I was forced in to a abortion by my parents and my boyfriend who was the father. They said if I didn't have the abortion my parents would kick me out and my boyfriend said he would leave me. Not what you really want to hear at 14 years of age.

How did you feel about your abortion experience?
I resent my parents greatly for forcing me into the abortion as it should of been my desicion. I was not offered any counselling and was traumatised at school for having the abortion. This affected me mentally in a big way and still does to this very day. It's something I will never get over. But I am glad that I had the abortion as I would otherwise have a 5 year old kid when I am just 19 years of age my self, I wouldn't be were I am now with my education and career prospects.
