It has changed my view on it. Before I would have tried to force the girl as much as possible to have had an abortion.”

Personally, I think any man, or person for that matter, who tries to force a woman into an abortion she really does not want is being completely unfair (to put it nicely)
I had an abortion recently, I always said I would never have one, but got pregnant unplanned. My husband and I did't have the conditions to bring a child into the world. He never once tried to force it on me, although we both agreed it was for the best. It was extremely difficult and I will not be doing it again. The whole experience was just horrendous.”

I think making that decision for me was on of the hardest decisions i ever had to make but i think it happened all too quickly. I found out i was pregnant and i panicked, i wanted an abortion, but i didnt take enough time to think about it. Between the time of finding out i was pregnant and having the termanation there was only 10 days between it. Unfortunalty, i did change my mind but it was too late by then. Afterwards i was just so numb, trying to not think about what i did but eventually it all caught up with me and i experienced depression. My partner who i am still 7 years later, said about a year after it had happened that he wished i hadnt gone through with that and i think that was the hardest thing to hear, especially as we discussed it at the time and left the decision to me. I think longer term it really has affected me emotionally, as i think about it even to this day and on the day it happened i still become very sad. I dont think its something i will ever get over. However, it isnt the same for everyone, everyone just reacts differently. I think i would have done things differently if i could turn back the clock. I would advise that people really do take the time to think about it, i just wish i had taken more time i guess.
I think its difficult as it actually now makes me cautious of having children as i know that that experience for me will be mared in someway by guilt.”

i believe it was the right thing for me to do at that time, yet my relationship deteiorated over the years boiling down to how my partner had been excluded and hurt over my decision.”
