"I was in a committed, two-year relationship with my boyfriend and was on birth control. I accidentally missed a few days, took the pills as soon as I remembered, but found myself pregnant." —S.N., Zambiapic.twitter.com/dTMRU0txUg
"Only my husband knows, I didn't tell anyone else. Making a confession about abortion is almost a suicide here." —K., Polandpic.twitter.com/P49AVHDIR9
"When I woke up, I thought I'd slept through and missed my procedure, but it was done. At the clinic, I felt safe, and relieved." —J.T., Alberta, Canada
"For years following, I have heard the cries of newborns — at the grocery store, in the airport on my way to a business trip, in parks, on sidewalks — and it triggers that frigid day in January." —G.R., Lexington, Mass.pic.twitter.com/I6B1CIADrs
"I found a doctor in my community and he decided to 'help' me. He said he would reduce the price if I had sex with him. Scared, I accepted." —G.G., Honduras
"I was not sad about this abortion. On the contrary, I recognized it as a necessary process to protect my children. My now ex-husband was becoming scarier to us all." — Ashley, Oklahoma Citypic.twitter.com/rSylxsWGXj
