'I had an abortion'

One in three women in the UK will have an abortion in their lifetime. Here you can read about the every day stories of unplanned pregnancy that women experience, how they dealt with it and what the right to make their own abortion decision meant to them.

The stories may be different from the ones you're used to hearing in the media. They are not sensational, misleading or shocking. They are the experiences of real women who have made responsible decisions about whether or not to continue with unwanted pregnancies.
