After the first abortion many women make themselves a promise: “never again.” It was the best decision at the time, but in the future–they resolve–things will be different.

But the emotions that follow an abortion can be complex. Sometimes those emotions cause women to choose behaviors that make it hard for them to keep that promise to never abort again.

• Susan often feels vaguely sad. She wonders if she would feel happier if she got pregnant again and had the baby, even though her situation is still pretty much the same.

• Rachel doesn’t want to think about it, so she often has a couple drinks too many. Some days she can’t quite remember what happened the night before.

• Kendall’s boyfriend hates to use condoms and says he’ll leave her if she insists on it. Since the abortion, she feels like she couldn’t keep going without him, so she goes along with it even though she is terrified of another pregnancy.
