Leslie

Hi my name is Lesli. I’m 19 years old I had an abortion about 3 weeks ago. Everyone was telling me not to keep my babies. I told the father and he said he didn’t know what to say.

I was devastated. I knew I wanted to keep my babies no matter the circumstances but I decided to terminate my pregnancy.

I still think about it and sometimes when I feel lonely, I think about my babies and what it could’ve been. Sometimes I’ll just break down in tears . . .
