About
Are you thinking about getting an abortion, but all you’ve found were horror stories online? Stories like these often involve a lifetime of guilt, religious overtones, and above all, shame.
We really can’t speak for these individuals, but we can tell you that there’s a huge population of women who have thankfully been able to terminate their pregnancy. This site is here to show you that abortion can be an innocuous procedure; we’re also looking to dispel the way abortion is seen by showing you stories from real women who are pleased with their decision to abort.
How do you feel about the site? Leave your comments below!

This is such a great site! I hope I never have to have an abortion, but it is so refreshing to see success stories that disprove the myth that abortion is a traumatic and horrible procedure. I am very glad that this option is available for me and other women.

I’m glad to see such a supportive website. I’ve always thought that abortion being taboo hurts women, and I think sites like this will help to remedy that.

I love this so much. I cannot thank you enough for this site. I’m currently amidst the confusion of maybe being pregnant and the panic of trying to figure everything out. Every other testimonial site is just overly dramatic stories of regret, guilt, and shame. This is a blessing in so many ways.

Thank you so much for this site. I have always been horrified at the stigma applied to women who have abortions, and I think one of the remedies for this stigma is to talk about abortion openly and honestly. It is such a common procedure, but women are intimidated and shamed into keeping quiet about their experiences.
I hope that one day stories like the ones on this site will not be taboo in everyday conversations, but unfortunately we are not yet in a world where it is always in the best interest of individual women for people to know their abortion history. So, thank you for providing a forum where women may tell their stories anonymously if they choose.

I am so happy a site like this exists. Almost three years ago, when I found out I was pregnant, I would have done anything for positive abortion stories to exist. I couldn’t find them anywhere. I now have a 2 year old.
Do I regret having my son? No, I can’t, I love him too much. But my life would be SO DIFFERENT if I had stuck with my initial decision-abortion. Maybe I would be finishing college right now, like all of my friends, instead of barely paying my bills and living paycheck to paycheck.
I’ll finish college. Eventually. But if this website existed then, my story probably would have ended very differently.

I’m so happy I found this website. I’m 17, got pregnant during a brief fling with an unreliable guy and knew straight away i wanted an abortion (which will take place in 6 days). I made the mistake of googling ‘abortion experiences’ and it threw me. I started to believe that I too would feel ‘never ending guilt’ for ‘murdering my child’ and it terrified me.
I then came across this website and I realised that I only keep crying at the moment because I’m scared of the procedure and very very hormonal. I know that all i will feel after the procedure is relief and myself again, and neither should I feel anything else! I’ve never seen anything wrong with abortion and theres definitely no reason I should now just because I need one. Thankyou thanksabortion.com, will post my experience next week

im 22 and just found out i am pregnant, im still a little in denial… it just doesnt seem real. im in a stable relationship with an amazing guy who i do want to spend my life with, but there is so much i wanted to do with him before we start a family. I am still considering all my options, im totally prochoice, i’ve just always wondered if when it really came down to it i could make that choice myself. two of my sisters had babies this year, and i worry that if i do choose abortion that my niece and nephew will be a reminder and leave me feeling regret. either way its a huge choice that only i can make and i cant take back, nothing has ever scared me more. i have about a year left in college and my boyfriend is also a student working part time. we dont have a lot in savings and an abortion sounds like the logical thing to do. my heart just keeps getting in the way, i dont want to regret my choice, i dont want to marry this man and think about the baby we could of had together. he is so supportive of whatever i want to do, im just to scared to know what i want.
maybe someone has a similar story… i dont know… i am just sure this has been as hard for some of you as it is for me now.
