Abortion Story: United States
Submitted to Abort73 by a 53-year-old woman on October 29, 2024
I was 20 years old when my parents advised me to have an abortion. I was getting ready to have surgery. My mom told me that if I waited to have the baby, insurance would not cover my surgery because I'd be taken off my parents’ insurance. She said that later in life, insurance wouldn't cover it because it would be a pre-existing condition. The father was an ex-boyfriend who was in another relationship. I think my parents were concerned about my future because the guy was usually out of work and lived off of the girls he went out with. I regret the decision to have an abortion. I remember crossing a line of praying people outside the clinic. If I could go back in time, I would not do it. I have a hole inside me. I can't escape the guilt that I killed my baby. I always wonder if my baby was a girl or boy and what would they have been like?
