I had an abortion when I was a student, following a period when I had been careless with birth control due to health issues. I make no excuses for it, and I have no regrets, it was the right thing for me at that time.
Having since been pregnant with a much wanted baby, and having become a mother, has only cemented my belief that no-one should be forced to carry a child they do not want, cannot afford, or which will make them ill, or which cannot survive. Equally no-one should be forced to give up a wanted pregnancy against their will.
I support the Abortion Support Network, who help people in Ireland and Northern Ireland safely and legally access services in the UK which are not available to them at home. I will be making a donation today, in honour of International Women's Day and the Repeal the 8th cause.
