Storytelling: Abortion Monologues
I was in a three-year relationship with a boy who I thought I was in love with. We were going on good, and we had unprotected sex all the time. So it was shocking when I told him I was pregnant, and the first thought he had was that it could not have been his. This guy was the only person I was having sex with. I tried to convince him that it had to be his child but he was convinced otherwise.
Me really wah fight people how everything that is not supposed to be their business… but is their business.
I’ve had more than one abortion. Not 27…or a 12 or even 5. But more than one. I think 3.
Hey 👋 Good night I don’t know where to start from but I did 2 abortion one in 2015 and one in 2017 and up to this day I sometimes cry myself to sleep.
