''I'mNotSorry.Net.'' Retrieved January 30, 2008.〕 ==History== I'm Not Sorry.net was created by Patricia Beninato (born September 28, 1966 〔"()" INS Blog.''

The hesitancy to openly talk about abortion in a positive context during the chat session suggested to Beninato that members of the pro-choice movement were tacitly agreeing with pro-lifers that abortion is a damaging experience for all women.〔Bader, Eleanor J. (July 21, 2003). "(Moving on Just Fine )." ''In These Times.'' Retrieved October 15, 2007.〕 After searching the Internet for post-abortion accounts, and finding only pro-life services which offered regret counselling, Beninato decided to set up a web site on which women who felt satisfied with their abortion decisions could share their stories.〔 On January 29, 2003, a week after the online discussion that served as motivation, the site was launched.〔 Beninato initially solicited stories on an Internet forum, but after a few months began receiving regular submissions as awareness of the site spread via word of mouth.〔 Beninato has written in the site's blog that she is originally from New Jersey and lived for a time in Kentucky before moving to Virginia in 2000.〔 She is married and has no children by choice.〔"(I'mNotSorry.net blog )."
