I’m 28 and I had an abortion 3 months ago. I wish I could go back in time and change my mind. I’m in a loving relationship with a wonderful partner. The pregnancy was a surprised and I was scared.
Our wedding is in a year and I didn’t plan on having a baby before being married. But I can confidently say choosing to abort was the biggest mistake of my life and I can never go back.
I’ve never been more depressed in my life knowing I will never hold my baby in my arms
