An article in US News and World Report tells the stories of several women who had abortions. One story begins, \u201cTheresa F— isn’t sure how many abortions she has had. She thinks nine.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the article, Theresa had her first abortion when she was 15 or 16. At the time, she was living in a home for pregnant and parenting women in San Francisco. She had just given birth to a baby girl six months earlier. She wrestled with the decision, wondering if abortion was murder. By the time of her second procedure, a year and a half later, she had dismissed these concerns.<\/p>\n

The article states, “Over the next few years, [Theresa] had two or three more abortions of fetuses conceived with the same boyfriend, as well as a second child. She was young and on drugs, she says, and didn’t take her birth-control pills consistently.”<\/p>\n

Theresa says, “I basically used abortion as a form of birth control. I just kept getting pregnant because I thought I wanted it. But then I would decide that I would rather get an abortion.”<\/p>\n
