I have a guy friend of four years, who is 16(the same age as me).  And he recently began dating a thirteen year old girl, who I am now friends with.  They had sex repeatively, and used protection, but now  shes pregnant.  And after thinking it through, she has decided to get an Abortion.  I asked her what SHE wanted,  and told her not to do what everyone else wanted, and she truley wants an Abortion.  She has a life ahead of her, and she isn't even finished growing up.  She shouldn't have had sex and risk pregnancy, but she did, that doesn't mean she should not be able to correct that mistake.  She and I, both believe that life does not begin at conception, and nor should a zygote/fetus be put before a being who is standing before you.  Whether or not the Fetus has rights should not come before the one that is carrying it.  But that is our opinion. And it is our right to disagree.  Sites like your's, that are one-sided and bias wont change the opinions of those who really know the facts and have heard BOTH sides.   Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and if you choose to label them "murderes" then you can, that is YOUR right.  What you believe is what you believe, but everyone has different feelings about Abortion, and presenting it as a "wrong thing" is not going to make you correct.  That is your opinion, and in this site, you have it presented as a fact, which it is not.  It is quite obvious you dont care for the opinions of others, and dismiss their opinions if they dont agree with your's.  I read the responses that Pro-Choicers get when they email this site.  And it is even more clear by the way you labeled this opinion section "Yell At Us." That kills me.
I may seem selfish, or heartless, but It doesn't matter, because that is human nature.  I can be selfish, because everyone is selfish at times, its normal.  And its okay to put yourself before others at times.  Im glad and relieved my friend chose Abortion as opposed to carrying through with the pregnancy.  She is 13 and has an education to complete, I truley believe she made the right, wise, and rational decison.  It may not seem rational to you, but I dont care.  That is my opinion, and I am entitled to it.  And whether you choose to critisize it or not, is your's. 

Sania, 16, Pro-Choice and proud(after hearing both sides)

Let�s start with �correct that mistake�  (line seven of your letter).  This, in a nutshell, is the precise concept that destroys the pro-choice position.  The mistake (baby) is not corrected.  The mistake is killed.   Further, the problems for mom are just beginning (yes, she is a mom � whether she understands it or not).  There may be a short-term sense of relief for her, but like most, she faces a lifetime of regret, remorse, and emotions that will never leave her.    

You state that you and your friend don�t believe that life begins at conception.  You both should have paid closer attention in biology class � for even the staunchest pro-choicers now fully admit that life does indeed begin at conception.   

Should she have had sex in the first place at 13?  Of course not.  Sex is for procreation � and pleasure is a byproduct.  The time to correct the �mistake,� however, was before it ever had a chance to happen.    Sania, both you and your friend can continue this course of denial and anger � but eventually the truth will find it�s way inside.  Why not start now, and begin a course of healing for both of you? 

AbortionTV

She has a life ahead of her, and she isn't even finished growing up.  The decision to have sex should never be taken lightly.  Most teens are riding the cusp between child and adult and simply arent emotionally capable of handling the enormous consequences of sexual intercourse. Not only did she risk pregnancy, but sexually transmitted diseases, too.  Additionally, there are tremendous emotional consequences she may not be prepared for, not only from the abortion, but from having sex too soon as well.  Low self-esteem, loss of self-respect, reputation, character, and a debasement of sex are just a few.  There is also a risk your friend may suffer stunted personal growth, guilt, depression, and self-recrimination.  She may also develop a strong sense of betrayal and rage when this young man moves on (which will happen).  I do hope shell rethink sexual activity following her abortion so she might avoid this in the future.  

Contrary to your assertion abortion will correct that mistake, it will not.  The fetus may disappear, but she will still have been pregnant.  The fault doesnt lie with the fetus or even contraceptive failure, but with your friends gross stupidity, negligence, and irresponsibility. There was no right, wise, or rational decisions made, only a hasty quick fix for two adolescents failing to control their bodies.  People so ill-prepared for the consequences of sex have no business participating in it; the mistake was made when they dropped their knickers. Excuses after the fact are merely feeble attempts at justifying immature behavior, period.   I suggest using all the reasons youve outlined here for abortion as a basis for promoting abstinence in your peer group.   

Human nature is also compassionate, loving, and nurturing.  Selfishness is a trait attributed to children.  Its a mark of self-centeredness and immaturity.  Your argument isnt sound, but childish, sounding more like na, na, na, then sound reasoning.  No one heres challenging your right to your opinion (get over it).  

Lastly, Abortion TV does present facts based on a number of statistics from reliable, reputable sources, including Planned Parenthood.  Since Ive contributed to a portion of this site, Id be happy to answer any refutation youd like.  My e-mail is kikibrando@yahoo.com

Dear Sania,  

You have made a decision about a subject after reading both sides. Regardless of what people on this site or any other may think you went above and beyond the call of duty. You researched both sides and decided for yourself. The problem that so many people have is that they are not educated. So they blame everyone but themselves for a decision that is 90% of the cases was their own.  

Your friend may have regrets...she may not. The same could be said if she followed through with the pregnancy and gave it up for adoption..or kept it. But be sure she knows the facts and has all the information before she makes her final choice.  

Scientifically life does begin at conception but when does personhood begin? How does one protect a zygote? Should the pill be outlawed because it may or may not prevent the fertilized egg from attaching itself to the womb? These questions are why abortion is not a black and white issue.  

Good luck to you and your friend. Be sure she believes this is best.

Response to Sania, 

I have seen girls like your foolish 13-year old friend. Believe me when I say her chances are VERY VERY great of winding up pregnant again in a year or two, maybe less. F--- it, I'm gonna be judgemental. Your friend's a slut. She knows she has no business having sex at her age. And the guy? What's he doing having sex with a little girl? That is so gross, and as his friend, you should have told him so...unless you yourself think it's ok for a 16 year old guy to be boffing a girl who just hit puberty.  

The thing about this girl, 13 as she is...she should have been responsible. Having an abortion is not responsible. It's a cop-out. And being selfish may be a sometimes human aspect, but it's nothing to strive for. Anyhow, if she going to betray her own child by having an abortion, what sort of loyalty do you expect her to have towards you when it comes down to it? She will always choose herself. That's what selfish people do. Sorry honey.

Hey Sania,  Something was lacking in your letter - the response of the parents of these teenagers.  I hope your friends went to their parents or grandparents and told them of the situation - a new member of their family growing quietly in the safety of it's mother's womb. 

I looked up the definition of life and wanted to share it with you.  Life: that property of humans, plants, and animals which it makes it possible for them to take in food, get energy from it, grow, adapt themselves to their surroundings, and reproduce their kind:  it is the quality that distinguishes a living organism from inorganic tissue. 

I don't know where you looked for "both sides", but I don't think you looked at these books.  Please check your local library or internet for these:  1) A Child is Born by Lennart Nilsson and 2) Life Before Birth by Marjorie A. England.  Both books have lots of pictures.  I was impressed with the picture of eyebrows on a 13 wk. old "fetus" and nipples on a 16 wk. old "fetus" in Life Before Birth.  Isn't it amazing with today's medical technology that we can see such young ones, only weeks old with the details of hair, toenails, nipples, and hear their heartbeat.   Are you and your friends aware that surgery can and is being done in the womb to correct abnormalities such as spina bifida?  Do you know that being a teenager is a stage of human development just as zygote, embryo, fetus, infant, toddler, preschooler, preadolescent, or adolescent which is another word for teenager.  A baby is anyone lacking life skills to support themselves thus being helpless and dependent upon others.  It is possible your parent thinks of you as a baby but I'm sure you are still quite alive though too big to fit into your mother's womb. 

Do you know how old the baby is in your friend's womb?  Do you know the due date of it's expected natural exit from her womb?   Did your friend mention any names for her baby?  Is she aware of Crisis Pregnancy Centers which provide free services to pregnant girls in need?       

As a friend to the girl with child, I hope you will see to it that she is examined by a licensed gynecologist who can give her a full exam and offer her educated advice now that she is sexually active.  Perhaps your pediatrician can make a referral.

Thank you for allowing me to finally get out what has taken me so long to address.  What a horrible thing that I have done.  I sometimes wonder how I am so able to function and be as successful as I am.  I own a company, I worked by butt off to get here, I drive a Mercedes, I live the high life... and I killed my baby because I was so selfish that it just didn't fit into my success.  I wish that I hadn't known better, or that I didn't have morals, or that I was pro-choice -but I never have been any of those things and yet still slowly climbed up on that table and allowed a Dr to end this poor child's life and a stranger to hold my hand to try to take away the pain.  I have tried to blame this on everyone, the Dad for letting me do this, the Dr for not seeing how this would hurt me, and society for making this legal.  But I know deep within my heart - I, a fully capable adult, Ms. Independent who can do anything except own up to my own responsibility, made this decision, I killed my child. 

I have a son now, and when he reaches for me or when he smiles at me, I melt, it also breaks my heart a little to know there was another who wanted to do the same thing.  I am going to Heaven, I do not live my life in a depression, I charge forward everyday, but at night, when the lights are out, I long for my little baby that I so foolishly decided to turn away.  I pray to God that I will meet him/her in Heaven.  This was he worst decision of my life - I interfered with God's plan, and he reminds me of that every night as I lay in bed with my eyes open, wishing I hadn't been so selfish.   

Thanks so much for at least letting me feel like this will be read by someone - as I can't talk about it anywhere else.  This has helped me type the words that I feel every night!!!

I knew about your site just minutes ago in a group I belong to in care2.com (pro-life, pro-choice) and I think yours it's a wonderful site! I will share it with the people I know and my friends.  I'm from Argentina and I'm very concerned about abortion because the new government is trying to make it legal in Argentina.  And I want to find a way to help against the will of that people.  By this time, the only ones showed in the news are those known as Dios-Patria-Hogar/God-Mother country-Home (in the USA you have something like that, right?) who are also known by their extreme and outdated view of Catholicism.  I'm also aware that the media enroled with the government will use their faces to make an opinion against pro life and in pro of abortion. I believe the major problem is to avoid the idea that you must be an ultracatholic to be prolife, because it's the point the prochoice uses to gain adepts.  Ok, keep doing your wonderful work. I'm grateful to know about it. I wish you the best.

Hi, I just was hoping you could post this poem on your site. I read it and it made me cry my eyes out.  I don't understand how a person can just kill an innocent, perfect little baby, a baby that is part of them.  Their own flesh and blood.  It just makes me so mad, that people could be so selfish and so self involved.  Before I seen this site, I was kind of pro choice, just if there was significant enough reason to abort, but now I realize there is no significant reason to kill someone.  Thank you so much for this site and I hope it changes alot of people's minds about abortion.

Mommy Got An Abortion


Mommy keep me safe, Mommy keep me warm,
Handle me with all your love,
Mommy keep me from harm.
I'm only six weeks old today,
This birthday gift to me,
A pair of bright blue eyes,
That someday you will see.
I've barely got ears,
A little puppy nose,
and at the end of my feet,
Little things called toes.
Looking forward to my life,
toys, teddy bears, snails,
and long fairy tales.
Where are we going mommy,
in a bath, on a bus ride or,
perhaps far away.
Where are we going being pushed at all force.
How funny it feels passing through doors,
people dressed in green
If they hurt you mommy just scream.
What's happening mommy,
I'm starting to cry,
Mommy come quickly,
they're making me die,
Killing me quickly,
Pulling me apart,
everything inside of me
even my heart,
Bye mommy, good-bye
But how I wanted to see
the grass, the trees,
hear a sweet song,
feel a sweet breeze.
Bye mommy
good-bye
I love You
I really do
I just wish you could love me too.

Hi, my name is Lauren and I live in Missouri. I am 17 years old and had an abortion on the 15th of December, 2004. I found out on the 19th of November that I was pregnant. I told the father, which is my boyfriend, that I was pregnant and he was yes of course very mad at first. After we got in person and talked it out for many hours we decided that it was our decision to be adult enough to sleep with each other, so we would be adult enough to take care of our biggest responsibility.........Our Baby! My mom and dad hated him and hated the fact that I was going to have a baby. I left my house and went and lived with my boyfriend at his dad's house. It made me feel so much better because they were so excited about the baby and said it would get us away from all the partying and help us grow up to be true adults. I accepted that. We would lay in bed every night and I would fall asleep next to the man I loved so much while he rubbed my tummy and said how excited he was. We were both very happy. About a week later, well I guess went by and all things changed. My boyfriend called my mom to talk to her which I knew wasn't a good idea because she wanted us to get rid of the baby and well she got what she wanted. He got off the phone and she had put so many things into his head that the first thing he said to me was your getting an abortion. I started to cry, but knew since I didn't have him I had no one. A couple days later he took me home and told me that he didn't want anything to do with me. My mom then signed me up and took me in to get the abortion. I followed through with it. Even though it took them under five minutes to complete the procedure, I don't think that I have ever felt so bad for myself like I am now. I regret every bit of it. Even though I am no one to tell you what to do. I am just saying that it won't only hurt you, but the one that you don't have anymore. I could have loved my baby so much and if there was any way that I could go back in time..... I definitely would. I miss my baby and so will you! 

Lauren

Dear Lauren, Thank you for sharing you story.  I am hopeful that many young people will be checking this site over their winter break and will gain strength to stand up for their son or daughter.    

It hasn't been mentioned here lately about Crisis Pregnancy Centers.  I bet you were never told about these centers while at the abortion mill.  Crisis Pregnancy Centers are manned by caring volunteers; some of which have been in your exact situation.  I urge all pregnant girls,  their family and friends who are trying to support them through this crisis to a live birth,  please, please, take the time to open the yellow pages and look under Abortion Alternatives or Crisis Help and call each and everyone of these centers and tell them your situation.  The same for all your local churches - you do not have to be a  member.  A person dealing with a crisis pregnancy can receive for FREE: medical care, maternity as well as baby clothing, baby furniture, formula, diapers, whatever your child needs.  Each center sets its own age for cutoff BUT they will direct you to further aid if the need still exists.  You will also be helped to fill out forms for any financial assistance that you qualify for ie. rent vouchers, food stamps, bus passes, childcare, Pell Grants for college (single moms qualify for college money), etc.  The donations are from individuals, churches, as well as corporations.  If you have been or are about to be thrown out of your home, there are also people who have been approved to take you in and provide for you as one of their own and help you get on your feet.  So, there is no longer any excuse for ending your child's life because you are lacking physical, emotional,  or financial support.  If your problems look as if they will continue after your  child is born, please look into adoption - it can be customized to your needs.  **Remember ending the child's life doesn't end your problems;  but now you have a dead child on your conscience for the rest of your life.**  

Lauren, and others who regret their abortion, this is a perfect time of year to consider giving someone else a boost up in life.  Please call a Crisis Pregnancy Center and ask if they can use you as a volunteer or, if you are able, consider giving a donation to them;  but call first and see what they need.  I know of schools and offices who have thrown baby showers for the Centers and gifted them with $25 gift certificates to the grocery store, as well as just a pack of postage stamps to full blown nursery furniture.  Your gift will make a positive change in the lives of at least 2 people and is tax deductible.

I am writing in response to helping with donations.  I own a children's clothing boutique in south New Jersey.  I have written AbortionTV before and because of your website my four month old son is here today and the light of my life.  Thank you.  I try and find ways everyday to help with hopefully getting at least one girl or woman to change her mind if she is considering abortion.  I was thinking that if you had something I could put in my store to collect donations I know for a fact many of my customers including myself would be more than happy to donate anything we could to help continue your wonderful efforts in keeping this website running.  Hopefully any donations will help with your site "popping up first" before an abortion clinic on someone's search.  It is true that I had to search a little bit more to get to your website.  It wasn't in plain view.  So please send me a bin or anything you would like to display in my store.   

Best regards,
Vincenza 

Thank you so much for your letter, and your generous offer to help.  We don not have anything made up at this point, but will try to put something together over the weekend that you can use.  Great to hear about your child as well!  Thank you for your support, we will forward something to you soon, and please stay in touch,

My name is April and I'm a daughter of a mother who has had an abortion.  My mother is 34 and she has 4 kids.  My mother has always been there for us and she has held my and through the toughest time of my life.  Being 15, I feel as though I go through more things than a lady who is 54 years old.  Anyways, after my sister was born my mother had trouble having another child (around late 1993- early 1994) She kept miscarrying a lot and being 4 5 years old I never known what that meant.  When she started to date this man named Neal she decided she didn't want his baby.  That she didn't want the relationship in the first place and that she didn't want to be connected to him in any way.  My mother decided to abort the baby.  Unlike some mothers she held her head high and went on her merry way and in 4 more years she gave birth to my brother(1997).  Everyday of my life I always wanted to know what would my brother or sister would have been like or if my mother would have been happy if she did have the baby.  And everyday I wake up hating my mother for the time she killed and infant, something without a voice or a choice, and was able to get away with it.  When I hear the word "abortion" I feel like hating people over and over again for letting things like that happen and nobody won't do a damn thing about it.  But I thank those, like your website and many others, for giving out information that happens to the mother and the child after abortions and I thank those women who have changed their minds about not aborting their babies and it makes me happy.  I just wished my mother had a second change of heart. 

The lucky one out of 4,

I stumbled upon this site, and I have to say, it is a very good site. But there are two concerns that I had about it.   

The first is that you say that a 12 year old is mature enough to see abortion pictures. now, I know people that are 17 and 18 that have vomited after seeing abortion pictures. I was just wondering where the age 12 came from. I personally don't think that a 12 year old is mature enough, but I'm sure that the age had a lot of thought behind it. I just wanted to know the logic behind 12 years as opposed to, I don't know, 15 years or something else.   

The other is that I get the feeling that you are a faith based organization. Looking at a lot of what you say, and a lot of what is said about you, you come off as a Christian Pro-Life organization. Now, I personally didn't look very hard, but I think that if you are going to throw religion in the mix, you should put it out clearly. I am not a religious person, but I personally don't like finding out that all of a sudden a group/organization that I support had a motive that they aren't making public. I'm not saying that it's bad to have a faith base. I'm just saying that if you're going to have one, you should say that.  

Thanks for your time. You don't have to post this, I just had some questions that I wanted to be answered. Thanks again.  

Butane 

Two good questions.  First, we believe that everyone should know the truth about abortion before they�re able to conceive.  Although this date varies by individual, many girls begin their periods by 13, and many boys are also fertile around this age.   Second, there are no references to religion in AbortionTV.  One need not be religious to realize that killing our unborn children is wrong.   

AbortionTV

In response to  "Who are you to say that Buddhism, Hinduism orIslam is the "wrong" religion?!?"   Who are you to tell me that catholicism was built on a lie?   You are doing what you accuse catholics of doing, say a certain religion is wrong.  AbortionTV is not supported by the Catholic Church or affiliated with any religion.   

I'll be praying for you 

12/14/04

How dare you people try to con people into having their children in GOD's name? Who are you to impose your religion on someone else? Who are you to say what GOD wants a woman to do with her body? Do you know what gOD wants us to do? I feel sorry for anyone is convinced that these "devout Catholics"

can save you. While your priests are molesting little boys, you deny the whole thing and follow what they say. The Catholic church was built on a lie!

A woman has a right to either have or not have a baby. She shouldn't be forced or brainwashed by any religion?!? That is absurd!

Who are you to say that Buddhism, Hinduism orIslam is the "wrong" religion?!?

Why would you want to bring a baby into the world if you know that you can't provide for it? Would you rather watch a baby kick and scream because they don't have any food to eat? And giving it up for adoption will also scar you because you will always be thinking what is your baby doing and who are they with? Are they still alive? Are the parents treating them right? Do they hate me for giving them up?

Bottom line: Have your baby or not, knowing it was your own decision and not some convincing of a "righteous " religious group. 

Angela

Elective abortion is a legal choice, Angela. We dare because we care.  Abortion TV isnt imposing morality or religion on anyone.  The information provided is done so in interest of providing an alternative view of abortion.  Really, the reader is free to form his/her own opinion.  We cannot force you to accept the truth.   

Humankind presumes to know a lot about Gods mindset. His plan for us is clearly spelled out.  Interestingly, there are several passages which provide convincing insight into His view of the unborn; query any search engine using Bible, abortion and theres a wealth of information available.    

Abortion is the imposition of the mothers morality on her unborn fetus.  If, as the Declaration of Independence states, we are endowed with certain inalienable rights by a Creator, those rights exist from the moment of conception.   

Children dont ask to be conceived of our foolish choices.  Most of us are capable of controlling our bodies, if not our passions.  Pregnancy is a natural outcome of sexual activity, so one can hardly cry foul when it happens.  Why then, when we fail, should the unborn sacrificed for our convenience?  Adoption is a viable, life affirming choice.  Birth parents increasingly have rights in the adoption plan.  Open adoption allows contact via letters, phone calls, and visitation.  Further, one has the option of a future relationship with the child; not possible with abortion.  Most adoptive parents have a positive view of their childrens biological families and encourage that bond.  As an adoptive mom, I assure you my children are being raised to love and respect their first mothers.   

Lastly, your spewing hatred of Christians is also addressed in Bible.  Please refer to John 15.18-16.4.  Verse 21-23: People will do to you exactly what they did to me. They will do it because you belong to me, and they dont know the one who sent me.  If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.  Everyone who hates me also hates my Father.  So Angela, why dont you consider carefully who is it you really hate?

Hi my name is Julie, when I was fifteen and just dumped by my boyfriend of  almost a year , I found out I was pregnant. I was scared what would I do ? The father of the baby ,ex boyfreind said he would go out with me again if I had an abortion. I  was young and scared  I had just started high school . I didn't want an abortion but what could I do?  I started dating another guy he kept asking me when I was going to get the abortion, I wanted to be young and go to high school. BUT I just knew I couldn't abort the little life growing inside me . I decided no matter what I would go through with the pregnancy .God gave the babY's father a dream in his dream we had an abortion pill and we were deciding weather or not to use it  ,in his dream he felt it was wrong so he crushed the pill. Then a few weeks later he asked me out and I broke up with my new boyfriend who was pressuring me to get an abortion.  April 16 I gave birth to my beautiful daughter Brittney , We started serving God and got married Oct 12 1996 ,We are still happily married and now have five beautiful daughters , the other 4 were planned  ,I cannot imagine my life without Brittney  I hope you will not miss out on the blessings in store weather you parent or adopt Just please dont abort 

Julie

I was told at 8 weeks that the baby inside me was not a baby.  That it didn't have a brain or anything else to be recognized as a child.  The abortion was very painful and I still have nightmares, even though it was 12 years ago.  I know for some reason, I don't know why but my baby was a boy.  I was told that this was the best thing to do.  I know it was not.  I had taken all the precautions, I was on birth control and I only had one partner.  He blamed me, so I felt I had to way out.  A year later I was again pregnant, (I no where that comes from)!  I hid the pregnancy until I was 5 mths and kept the father out of it.  When I told the father, he didn't want the baby, which was a baby boy.  After my son was born, I went into a deep depression, was anorexic and attempted suicide.  The month I did was the month my first baby boy was to be born.  I know now that he forgives me.  He is still in my dreams, I would take it all back if I could.  I didn't know he was a living person.  They lied.  My son CJ is now 13 and I wish his older brother was here.  I know that women should have the right to choose, but they should have all the facts.  I now know that a fetus is a living child 2 inches or 6 pounds, and they are counting on Mom to take care of them no matter what.

Sincerely,

Julie

I was in the situation of considering abortion some 18 years ago and chose to go ahead with the pregnancy which ended up resulting in a child who is severely disabled. This brings me to an ethical question for you. I hope you realise this is sincere, it is something that has been on my mind, and I would like to raise some questions. 

My daughter is the light of my life.I do not regret her being in any way but it has been a very hard road for all of us. My frustration is now that she is an adult and no longer the poster child of disabled children, we find less and less tolerance, understanding and asistance for her. It is a cold hard fact that those with disabilities are not valued for their contributions to society and indeed abortion of children like my own is a commen occurance and something that is widely accepted as being "merciful",  My question for you and your organization is that if you are putting out the encouragment for people to continue with pregnancies of disabled children, are you also making efforts to support organizations that assist the disabled and are you also active in the  pushing of government to ensure the QUALITY of life for these individuals in addition to their right to life?    

That is my biggest problem with pro life groups. I appreciate where you are coming from as abortion is a horrible ugly thing, but along with this stance comes a responsability. When you tell that woman she should  continue with a pregnancy, in my humble opinion you have entered into a spiritual contract to ensure that she and her child continue to be supported in the decision you just helped her make.  

When you come down on the doctors and clinics for not looking after the emotional well being of the woman involved, and then vote to cut welfare assistance and fail to support the disabled, you are at best hypocritical.  I am not saying disabled people SHOULD be aborted, please do not mistake me because I am very clear about the wonderful contributions they make in our world, my life is much richer for this experience.  I am just saying if you are fighting to keep women from aborting a child that is going to end up being thrown away by a society who does not value their contributions, you need to condider what you can do to help women and the children they raise after they choose not to abort.  

I will be interested in your comments.

I am not a violent person, but given the chance to meet any of you idiots in person- I think I would severly injure some of you. How dare you put up this website as a way to promote truth when the site is filled with lies and error ridden statistics. All you are trying to do is scare young women with distorted pictures and lies. People like you make me want to throw up- you are disgusting and ignorant individuals who do not have a clue about what you are talking about.
If there is a God- I am sure that he will have a lovely place for you wherever you end up. But if you think that you are doing God's work- you are not. I am sure that he is looking down on you and shaking his head in disgust.
After seeing this website I am putting forth an effort to shut you down. I probably will not be able to- given that there are a lot of bible-thumping morons out there. But trust me, you will be punished........not praised.

Pro-choice demands and adores freedom of speech, until abortion is critiqued or criticized.  The amusing thing about some who claim to be pro-choice; they seem to be convinced that they and they only have a right to speak freely.  They can speak for hours on abortion rights, citing examples and statistics, rhetoric and slogans and often saying vile, insidious things.  They espouse First Amendment as if was written expressly for them.  However, when opposing moral, political, theoretical, and philosophical views are expressed, such as Abortion TV, it sends them into frenzy.   

It�s the very height of hypocrisy to exercise your freedom of speech, but claim those who disagree with your view are disgusting, ignorant, Bible-thumping morons and demand their expression be shut down.  Denying abortion�s consequences flies in the face of scientific and social data available (as well as common sense), if you will only read the information.  Some of the sources quoted within this site are among the most credited and reliable available.   These include the Alan Guttmacher Institute, Centers for Disease Control, and the Dave Thomas Foundation.  Do these groups lie? 

Given your non-violent nature, I�m sure your outrage is merely due to shock and disbelief.  Perhaps, if you�re as reasonable as you claim, you might attempt to read this site with an open heart? The anti-Christian bigotry expressed in your letter is truly frightening.  This site is staffed by a diverse group.  Pro-lifer�s come in every form; gay, lesbian, black, white, Asian, Muslim, Jew, Christian, atheist, and pagan.  Bigotry, in any form, is still ugly.  Try doing some homework before categorizing pro-lifers, please.    

Humankind has attempted to put God into any category that suits us.  Yes, Mese, there is a God.  Before condemning anyone who believes in Him, why don�t you attempt to read the Bible?  Perhaps then you might truly learn something about the Mind of God, rather than presuming know what He thinks?

Dear Mese,

I feel truly sorry for you and your own ignorance.  You are pointing the finger at a website that simply states the facts on abortion not "distorted pictures and lies."  For some people abortion has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with religion, God, and how many other excuses you can conjure up.  It simply is a case of what is right and wrong.  If I remember correctly from my own childhood and adolescence, murder is wrong.  Unfortunately, that must be something you missed learning while growing up.  If you are so keen on the abortion subject and all of us "do not have a clue about what" we "are talking about then why don't you tell me what we're missing?  Why don't you take the time to explain what is so right about abortion instead of ranting and raving like a small child who isn't getting their way?  You are right about only one thing though,  you will not be able to shut down this website down, not due to what you call "bible-thumping morons" but due to individuals who do not believe in murder.

Sincerely,

Pessa

Hi I am 17 years old my son Zion is going to be 1 year old on December 24,
2004. When I found out I was pregnant I know I had three options, abortion,
adoption or go through the pregnancy and raise him.I was real bad into drugs and partying but regardless I chose to have him; because I know i couldn't live with myself if I had an abortion. His father found out I was pregnant when I was already 5 months, he wanted me to keep him and wanted to help raise him. When I was 6 months pregnant his father got in trouble with drugs and had to go away 4 months after I had my son. My parents have totally supported me in my decision and now I have more faith in God than I ever have had and thank him for giving me a healthy, beautiful son.

I'm 20 years old, I got pregnant in July. At first I knew I was going to have
the baby and wasn't going to be like all those other "sluts" and "kill" my
baby. But after I talked to my mom about it she helped me realize that I
couldn't provide a good life for the baby. Even though my boyfriend wanted to have it
I knew he really wasn't ready for a child. It's so easy for someone to say
that they want a baby but do they actually know what it's like??? I babysit all
the time and I really know the ammount of money and energy it takes to rasie a
child. I would love to have a family one day but I know right now isn't the
time. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I started thinking about what I was
going to do. I think in my case and others like mine abortion is the right
thing to do. Why bring a life into the world that you can't properly take care
of? I want to be able to give my child the world, now isn't the time. I think
your website would be a lot more informative if it provided pros and cons of
abortion. Anyways, I just wanted to let you know that your website doesn't scare
me and I can look at it and still know i did the right thing....

You are young and have many years of life ahead;
your baby did, too. It was yours to give the world the fruit of the love you
and your boyfriend shared one day in July. It wasn't necessary that you, who
were not ready, or your boyfriend, who wasn't either raise, your child. You
had already brought a child into the world, the world of your womb; the
world could have been your first gift to her as she could have been to a loving
couple who wanted to do what you are unable to do, properly take care of and
raise a baby to love her birth Mother and Father, her parents by adoption and
one day children of her own, your grandchildren.
There are no pros to abortion, Anny, only dead babies and scarred women.
If you have already ended your baby's life, as seems apparent from your last
line, it will soon be time for you to heal from your self-inflicted wounds.
You are destined to meet your baby again. If you do or not is yours to
decide.

P.S. One whose choice eliminates the possibility of another to have
choice is not pro-choice; s/he is pro-abortion. To be really pro-choice
be pro-life.
