The following story was told in Salon magazine.
“In December of 2010 I had an abortion. It has haunted me ever since.
… I was pregnant and I chose not to continue the pregnancy even though deep down I desperately wanted a child.
I made this choice based on my relationship with the baby’s father, who dropped me off at the clinic and I never saw again, despite having a three-to-four-year, on-and-off relationship. He promised me marriage and more children when we were ready for it, i.e. five or 10 years from now.
His last words to me were, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back.” But that never materialized.
….I haven’t dated, least of all had sex with anyone, since that day. It feels like a part of me died that day and will never return.”
