I am still left with the guilt

I became pregnant at the age of fifteen. My mother and her lesbian lover wanted me to give them the baby and when I refused she forced me to have the abortion.

I had no counseling or information prior to the abortion. The abortion was very traumatizing.

The abortion was painful, humiliating and scary.

The abortion caused depression. I also ran away from home and got married because I did not want to live in my mother's home.

In dealing with the abortion, I have tried to talk others out of having the abortion, not myself. I am still left with the guilt.

The abortion has changed me because it caused me to make drastic and hasty decisions which made my life harder and more complicated.
