I never had an abortion but in my younger years I knew if I got pregnant I would have had one. I wanted my own independent life and an education.
This changed at about 25 I said to myself ok, now I can imagine managing it if I was pregnant. But I also always knew that I wanted to have children. That's different for everyone. Luckily I was able to get pregnant at 33 exactly when I really wanted to and not earlier.
And here is something very important:
The fact that I could plan the time I wanted to have kids was possible because I lived in a country that gave me access to birth control and to knowledge about it.
