I was married and had known since an early age that I did not want to be a mother. We were using birth control, but this time it did not work. I was lucky that abortion was legal then. I went to a clinic in Manhattan. This was in about 1977. My husband was away and I never told him.

Fine. Not too painful.

How did other people react to your abortion?

My sister gave me a party that night, many of my friends attended and were all supportive
