i) Female from Virginia, USA

My family hates the man I am with and if they were to find out I was pregnant, they would kill him. They would tell me I was an embarrassment to them. They would make me have an abortion.

I have a friend who had one, she told me all about it, the pain, the way the doctors were and I can not do it. The way the just suck it out of us as if it was not every there. When my friend was done with the abortion, the doctor looked at her and said, "okay, you are no longer pregnant", as if that is what she wanted. Her parents made her have the abortion because she was 17 and they were "too old to raise a baby." I don't want to be told I have to do it. However, I can not have a baby right now, because I am in college and I need to be concentrating on my school work. Plus I still live at home, they would kick me out.
