Ellen was raised in a Catholic household and went to a Catholic university. It was an undisputed fact that she was largely pro-life. That is, until she found out she was pregnant. Suddenly Ellen — which isn’t her real name — was on the fence.

“My perspective entirely changed when it was happening to me,” she said.

After taking weeks to consider her options, Ellen ended up scheduling an abortion. While she’s glad she didn’t have to go through with an unplanned pregnancy, Ellen remains conflicted about her choice.

“That was probably what made the decision the hardest for me, my Catholic viewpoint,” she said. “I’m still having a battle against myself and my faith.”
