Abortion Story #8

Having an abortion saved my life. Now I am happy, successful woman. Not because my pregnancy was physically threatening my life, but because I could not handle a baby. I was in my early 20's and had no health insurance when I got pregnant. I was a waitress and a bartender and would not consider adoption. How was I suppose to carry a kid for nine months when I worked 2 jobs that are physically demanding? I am a successful person now. If I chose to keep the baby I would have been stuck in poverty. I didn't become a heart surgeon or win a Noble Prize. I just became an independent person who was able to find happiness.
