One woman says why she had an abortion:
“At the time I was in a relationship with a man who was black, and the pregnancy was the result of contraceptive failure.
The relationship was over by the time I found out about the pregnancy, I had no way of supporting a child, and I knew that if I went ahead, a mixed-race child was very unlikely to be adopted.
I discovered I was pregnant fairly early on, but I was just under 12 weeks when I had the procedure and I have never regretted it.”
