I am a transmasc Agender person and here is my story, I was in an abusive relationship at the age of 13 and I got pregnant. I was scared to death y’know? I was thinking “omg what am I going to do? I’m too young and I can’t support the baby” I was freaking out and so worried about if I had the child I wouldn’t be able to support it and what would my family think?

That’s when my best friend suggested getting an abortion, I was scared at first because I didn’t know what it entailed. But said friend made the appointment with me and took me to said appointment to get an abortion at the hospital. The nurses were really nice and I felt comforted. When I got the abortion I felt so much relief and happiness because I knew that the child wouldn’t have to live with a parent that can’t support it being so young.

And I was told if I had the baby it would’ve possibly killed me which made me even more relieved. Abortion saved my life and I will ALWAYS be so thankful that it is an option, I wouldn’t be here without it as an option.

I do not regret my abortion, and I am thankful for it.

I will never forget sitting in that room, hearing his words but feeling like I was watching someone else's story and not mine.
