I was so fortunate to get some financial support from my family who supported my choice by I couldn’t imagine what this would be like for someone who didn’t have the financial support. It’s an incredible personal thing to go through and having to consider the incredible hefty financial burden alongside it, or even having it impact someone’s ability to make a decision is huge.
I hope this can be changed in the future and more people know their options and choice. I will never regret my choice and I would hate for someone to regret their choice to have a child when they couldn’t or didn’t want to.
Attending catholic school and having the nuns show us films that were abortion propaganda also reinforced the 'anti-abortion' view.

I had a relatively new relationship I liked and thought a child not wanted by both, would jeopardise a relationship I was happy in, for one as a single parent.
When I spoke to my GP, she was amazing, was completely non-judgemental, and offered a referral and support letter for access to an abortion, if I wanted one.
When I accidentally became pregnant in my mid-20s, I was, in theory, in a much better place both financially and emotionally.
