Dina Wood

I had an abortion.It was illegal in the United States at the time, but I was lucky that i found a decent doctor. I was 16 and knew that I had a future ahead of me that did not include that baby. I don't regret it at all.

ผิดหวัง โล่งใจ โง่ มั่นใจ กลัว

At the time I was disappointed at myself for being stupid and getting pregnant when I was supposedly a clever girl. The father was more of a friend and I did not involve him in the decision.Afterward I felt relieved that the procedure was done and sure that I had made the right decision. I'm still sure it was right.

ในคลินิคหรือโรงพยาบาลโดยใช้เครื่องมือ

It was positive because the doctor was kind and supportive. A true heroine.

วัย (เด็กไปหรืออายุมากไป) ปัญหาในความสัมพันธ์

I knew that I wanted to go to college and have a career. If that seems selfish, so be it. It was my "first time" and I did not want to "Make" my boyfriend be responsible for changing his future either.

การทำแท้งผิดกฎหมายส่งผลต่อความรู้สึกของคุณหรือไม่?

It did not effect my decision. It did make me feel guilt that I was breaking the law and that the doctor was possibly endangering her own livelihood. I will thank her forever.

คนอื่นมีปฏิกิริยาอย่างไรต่อการทำแท้งของคุณ?

My friends who I told were supportive. I have never told my family, but, I plan on telling my teenage daughters now.I didn't tell the father until many years later.

I have 2 children
