My boyfriend and I aren’t ready to have a child so I took the morning after pill

Illustrated portrait of a woman.

I used the morning after pill because the condom we were using split.

My boyfriend and I aren’t ready to have a child so I used the morning after pill, I don’t feel any shame whatsoever for using it as it was the responsible thing to do for me. It would’ve been irresponsible for me to have not got the morning after pill and had a child that I wasn’t ready for mentally and financially.
