I had an abortion and I feel great!

Some backstory:<br>I was in a relationship with a guy for 5 years, we grew apart and six months later we broke up. I got a dog. He got a gf that lives 3000 miles away. I hung out with him a couple times even after the breakup because we live 5 mins apart and have been friends for 10+ years. We had a mutual understanding that we could hang out but not hook up. <br><br>Anyway, he had been talking to this new gf online for a few months and she came out to visit. He called me and said hey do you want to come over for dinner I'm making steak and mashed potatoes and veggies and this wine sauce. He knows my favorite food and I hadn't had a home cooked meal in weeks. So I went over. I brought my dog. I met his gf. I was a little uncomfortable but she was nice. The food was great. <br><br>After dinner my dog started acting strange. She was running back and forth in the kitchen living room. Barking and whining. I thought she had to go to the bathroom but she didn't. I didn't think to take her outside because my ex had a dog and it was there too but it was all good. But my dog was acting crazy. My ex suggested we go for a walk. We all went for a walk. My dog was acting strange the whole time. As we were walking back I told my ex "thank you for the food and showing me your new girlfriend. I think my dog is done seeing us hang out." He said "oh yeah I'm sorry about that. I guess she doesn't understand." And then he said "but maybe we could hang out alone once in awhile?" And I thought for a second he was trying to make a move on me and I said "ok." And then he clarified "no like as friends." And I said "np yeah thats fine with me." <br>I clarified bc I didn't want to lead him on or give him any ideas bc I thought he was really attractive still.<br><br>That night I had sex with him. I don't know why it didn't even cross my mind that I needed birth control. I had been on birth control but I got off of it 7 months ago bc my ex and I broke up. I didn't think about it at all. I just knew I wanted to hang out with him and I didn't think about having sex beforehand. In the moment I didn't think about it. I thought about it afterwards and thanked the heavens I was on birth control. When I got home I realized I wasn't on birth control.<br><br>I went to planed parenthood the next day and got the morning after pill. I waited nervously for my period and it didn't come. I went to the doctor and got a pregnancy test and it was positive. I got an abortion appointment for the following week and waited nervously for the appointment to come. I didn't tell anyone I was pregnant. I didn't want to influence anyone else's opinion on the matter. I knew I wanted an abortion but When I told my mom she cried. <br><br>She came with me to the abortion appointment. They gave me a bunch of pills to take. They called me the next day to check in with me. The abortion made me feel sick for 2 days. That was over a month ago. Since then I've been with 2 other people. The abortion did not ruin my life. I am very happy I got it. I feel empowered by it. When I was 18 I got pregnant and had a miscarriage. The abortion was 100x easier than that was. It didn't hurt at all. It was nothing like what the pro life people say. <br><br>I don't think men have a right to an opinion on the matter. I don't care if you think I'm a murderer. I don't value your opinion. I am free. I did what I wanted to do with my body and I couldn't be happier about it.
