Aborto
I am woman of more than 30 years of age; what I experienced is back from when I was 22. I was dating a person with whom we had a lot in common. I started to have sexual relations when I was 18 years old and never took any precaution. I used to think that if I had not gotten pregnant before, maybe I was immune, or that it would never happen to me. But I was totally wrong. At 22 years old I started to feel certain discomfort, took myself a urine pregnancy test and it resulted negative. I was given many injections to get the period but nothing happened. At the end I made myself a blood test and the result was positive. It never crossed my mind that abortion was something cruel; I think due to my immaturity I did it. I remember I almost died, because I was already two months pregnant, my blood pressure went down.
When I recover myself I asked the doctor to show me what had happened. When I saw how I had destroyed what I had inside to pieces I started to cry. After that, the doctor told me that my womb had been harmed, and today I pay for the consequences of my immaturity; I have been unable to have a child. Because of this I am telling my story, so you don’t make the same error that I made. So you don’t abort now to regret it later.
