I've never been more sure about a decision. This was something I wanted to do, so I did it.

successful!

I'm 22 years old. I want to finish university. I want to travel. I want to intern in Spain's embassy. I want to get my translator/interpreter certificate. I want to be child-free for a few years. I want to be an excellent mom, mediocre will not suffice. I want to raise children who become great people, not people who resent the fact that their mother wasn't ready to raise them. It's something I would regret my entire life. My personal philosophy is to live in love and gratitude with no regrets. Having a child now isn't part of my life plan.

Did the illegality of your abortion affect your feelings?

This didnt affect my feelings because abortion is legal in my home country.

How did other people react to your abortion?

Only two people knew that I planned to have an abortion: my best friend and my host mom
