Did you ever tell any of the assholes that they were responsible for your abortion? I might have.
Instead, I raised hell until I got an IUD when they first came out. I lucked out and didn't get the one that ended up killing some of us, I got the safe one and that thing was magic, side effects and all.

I knew from the time I was a little kid that I never wanted to be a mother. That never changed.
