Pressured to have an abortion what should I do?
A few years ago when I got pregnant and me and my ex boyfriend at the time wanted the baby and were prepared to be parents my mom forced me to have an abortion or I would be disowned from the family. I was 22 at the time so old enough. This is a good age to get pregnant. The reason why she made me have an abortion was because she thought I wasn’t ready to have a baby yet because I was still living with my mom and dad. Me and the baby’s dad worked part time. So we could have done it with WIC and help from other family members and I could have moved in with him and raised the baby and now I had to have the abortion. Is it strange to be forced into an abortion like this? After the abortion I was forced to get birth control so I wouldn’t get pregnant again until my mom saw that I was ready to have a baby. What are your thoughts on this? Was this unnecessary? Did my autism have something to do with why I was forced to have an abortion? This is why I hate being autistic and wish I was normal. I hope this isn’t eugenics and discrimination because I’m autistic because being forced to have an abortion is uncalled for. I hear stories of girls with intellectual disability that is forced into abortion and I was wondering if this applied to me on why I had to have an abortion. Just didn’t have immediate family support which sucks because I was an adult who got pregnant. What are your thoughts?
