Woman has an abortion to keep her boyfriend

From a postabortion women:

“I remember thinking before my abortion, “Oh God, don’t let me die because I’m doing this.” I was scared that I was about to have an abortion and that I wouldn’t come out of it. After having the abortion, they couldn’t bring me out of the anesthesia – I had never had a history of problems with anesthesia – I just didn’t seem to want to come back to consciousness, perhaps because I didn’t want to have the abortion. I wanted my boyfriend’s baby, but he said he wouldn’t stay with me if I didn’t have the abortion. I thought that having the abortion would help keep us together. I think the guilt we both felt about the abortion contributed to our eventual divorce three years after we married.”
