6/22/01 My name is Mellery. I had my daughter when I was 21. I am
now 26 and
my daughter is 4. She will be 5 in September. I became pregnant when I
was 20 and I must admit I needed to grow up and be responsible and stop
depending on my mother for everything. I became pregnant in December
1995. The sperm donor wanted me to have an abortion. I thought about
it seriously, but the then realized this may be my only chance to be a
mother. The greatest gift ever given to a woman. The sperm donor went
as far as to threaten to kill me if I didn't have the abortion. Well,
let's just say that sperm donor went away (Not saying that he was
killed), and I was blessed with a healthy baby girl. I love her more
than life itself. Thankfully, my mom and dad were great support, but
all praise go to my heavenly Father.
I love you Jai'lyn. 9/8/96 |

My name is Alejandra. Last Christmas on December 25, 2000, I gave
birth to my beautiful son Christian. I named him Christian because he was
born
on Christmas.
About a year ago, I found out I was pregnant. I didn't know what to
do. I wasn't ready for a baby. Not to mention, I had had an abortion 9
months
before that. I had had a medical abortion at 4 1/2 weeks into my pregnancy.
I
couldn't do it again. This was my problem. I needed to be responsible. How
could I have 2 abortions in less than a year. What would my doctor think of
me? What would God think?
I had just graduated from high school a week before I found out. What
would I tell my parents? How would I tell my parents? What was everyone
going to
think of me? How would I be able to take care of baby? If I decided to keep
the baby-why give him up for adoption after going through the whole 9
months?
 Should
I have an abortion? Could I handle and abortion? Is my boyfriend
really the one I want to be the father of my baby? All these questions ran
through my head. I didn't know what to do. My parents had had so many
expectations of me and here I was pregnant. The first in the family to be
pregnant outside of wedlock. What was I suppose to do? I couldn't go to my
parents. I was all alone. Of course I had my boyfriend, but he didn't
understand everything.
I never told my parents. My mom of course became suspicious because I
hadn't had my period. She question me and I denied it. Finally at about 4
months into my pregnancy she knew. My mother freaked. She became very
depressed. I had really hurt them. I had never seen my father cry........as
I
had my him. My mom suggested adoption, but my father was against that. He
said that no grandchild of his, would live outside our family. Adoption
wasn't an option to me. And neither was abortion after viewing your website.
During my 6th month of pregnancy, my mom became excited. She would buy
little things here and there and even wanted to decorate his nursery. Things
eventually got better. The support of my parents really helped me.
On Christmas I gave birth to the most beautiful baby boy. I can't
imagine life with out him. I wanted to share my story because tomorrow I
will
be giving a speech on abortion and used this website as reference. After
viewing all the videos and seeing all the pictures I broke down. How could I
have ever done what I had done. That poor baby. I would've been okay if I
would've just kept it.
I wanted to let anyone who is considering an abortion to know that
you'll be okay. With the help and support of my family I'm going to school
full time and will succeed in life. Christian has changed my life for the
better. He brings so much joy to me and my family. I have many friends who
went through the same thing and everything ended up okay at the end. And to
be honest..........my friends that have decide to keep there babies, all
have there lives together. They work, have cars, and enjoy there lives.
These
aren't rich girls either. These are girls (just like my self) who have
parents who work hard for there money and struggle with bills sometimes.
I hope that anyone considering an abortion will really think twice.

6/18/01 My name is Alicia and I wanted to write my story of my
little angel. I am a
20 year old and a first time mother. My daughter was born May 30, 2001, no
it wasn't that long ago but I'm so glad she is here. I found out that I was
pregnant September of 2000. I was working at the time and I wasn't feeling
right all day, I was spotting and thinking to myself that I just had a
period a week or so ago, so I left work early to go to the doctors to take a
test to see if I was pregnant or not and within that hour, I found out that
I was. I wasn't happy but I wasn't mad, I really couldn't explain my
feelings at the time, I was scared and on top of everything, my boyfriend
and I were fighting at the time. So I left the doctors and went to my
friends house to find my boyfriend there and I walked through the door and
the first thing I did was make a motion to my belly, he knew right away and
jumped up.
Within a few days I was relaxed and calm, but still thinking *WOW* I'm going
to be a mom, still trying to kick myself. A few months went by and my
boyfriend and I were having it hard, we were fighting all the time and I was
always thinking to myself that there is NO way I could take care of this
baby. December came and I had a break down, I was 4 1/2 months already and I
wanted an ABORTION and wanted it soon. I called my sister and asked her to
drive me to the hospital to get help, I was breaking down. At the time, my
boyfriend didn't know what to do because I was beating on him because he
wasn't helping me with my emotions. So I went to the hospital with my sister
and my sister already had a past abortion and still recovering from it, she
said some words to me that I'll never forget. I walked into the hospital,
already to have this baby taken from me until my sister told me what happen
to her. My sister and I were NEVER close at all until I got pregnant. She
told me how much she wanted her baby and how it killed her inside to kill
her own child, and me being 4 1/2 months already, the baby can already
feel, move, has a heart beat. It took me a while to settle down but I left
that hospital with my sister and my baby. I can't say everything was GREAT
after that, but I did a lot better. I found out I was having a little girl
when I was 5 1/2 months. I carried my daughter to 38 weeks and 2 days.
Giving birth to my daughter was the greatest thing I ever experienced, she
is the most beautiful gift from god. I look at her everyday and thank god
that I kept strong and thank god that I had my sister by my
side that day or
my daughter wouldn't be here. Being a first time mom is very hard, but I get
to see her grow and make big smiles at me. I love her with all my heart and
soul and I would never take her back for the world. She is my little ANGEL.
I Love You Haley LynMarie........

I was raised in a family that did not believe
in abortion. As a result I've always been pro-life. I look down highly
on those extremist pro-lifers who kill (isn't it the same thing?). I
commend the entire staff, you have my utmost admiration and respect for
creating a site such as this. It gives you the real facts and raw
emotions of abortion. I know many pro-choicers, however, I am convinced
that they are not fully aware of the savageness of abortion. I've never
had one, but I do thank you again for having this site. I am 20 and got
pregnant during my last semester (spring 2001) in college. I was halfway
through with school. I'm not married and am not sure of who the father is.
I was advised by one of the candidates to get an abortion, that it was the
"best decision" I could make. I realize that abortion is such a selfish
act. I ignored his pleas (it was never even an option). After reading so
many horror stories and seeing videos of abortion "procedures" I got teary
eyed. I've seen and heard my baby boy's heart beat. I've watched and
felt him move inside my womb. Life is a gift, sometimes unexpected, but
it is still a gift. Everything on the site has only reassured me that I
made the right decision. My sympathy and prayers for every woman and
young girl who has had to deal with this atrocity. Again, thanks.
Sincerely,
Meahdi

I want everyone to know that abortion
is murder. I was pressured by family and friends to get an abortion. I
knew in my heart that it seemed wrong. I
 had
an unplanned pregnancy but I took my responsibility. Now
my son is 3 months old and has cute and healthy as can be. there are other
options and I hope everyone will get the chance to look through this site
and know the truths about abortion.

6/13/01 I just want to say thank you. I'm 21 and I have 3 children
ages 4, 22 months and 2 months. I thought I was Pro-Choice but found out I
wasn't when I went to have an abortion out of town because I was 20 weeks
with my youngest daughter. When I got to the clinic which was really dirty
and was falling apart, people were protesting in front and they are what
saved my baby's life, telling me I shouldn't do it and I'm so thankful for
that. And on the way home that day was the first time I felt her kick, I
don't know what I would do without her now. No one ever said it was easy to
have kids but there's always a way no matter what. There's so many people
there are out there that want babies and people are just killing them like
they're nothing. There are support groups and other things that can help you
keep your baby, you just have to look. While reading this site, I keep
looking at my daughter and thinking how that could have been her. Thank you
for putting up this site and making people aware of what it's really like.

| 6/09/01 I was 18 when I
found out that I was pregnant and I never thought about abortion or
adoption. My fiancé and I had to face the outcome of our actions. I admit
that it is hard but it was worth all the pain. I would rather have gone
through pain for twelve hours knowing that I would leave with the person
that I love the most: My beautiful daughter. If I had an abortion I would
not have this precious life in my arms and I would have never seen her
beautiful smile. The way a baby looks at you after birth is the most
amazing thing that can happen to anyone and I would do it all over again
if I had to. Before you think about an abortion think about the sacrifices
out there. So many women would die to become pregnant. I know that it
hurts them to see a woman walk in a clinic and kill a life that they could
have had shared their life with. Thank you for reading this if you ever
get to it. I hope that I have helped some young people change their minds.
They need to know that just because you have a baby doesn't mean you can't
go back to school and further your education. They are your driving force
to do better in life.
Always,

Your web site is very informative and women should look at something
like this before they decide on abortion. When I was 16 I got pregnant.
And of course my boyfriend broke up with me being young and immature.
After hiding it from my mom for a few months she figured it out. When she
asked me what I wanted to do I said " What do you think?" I even
called a few places to find out prices and information.
She told me she didn’t think that was what should be done. She
wouldn’t let me do it.
And no more was said. She made me doctors appointments and helped me to
be excited about the baby. She was so supportive through the whole thing.
I was young and I knew it would be hard. But I did it. I have my mother to
thank for everything. She saved my sons life. He's 5 years old now. And I
can’t imagine my life without him. I thank god for giving me this
special gift everyday. When I look at him I can't imagine him never being
here, not knowing him. God has a special plan for every child conceived
and that includes being born.

Your web site has really made me think. It also brought tears to my
eyes to
think that someone could do this to a child and then say that it's not a
baby. People believe what they want to believe to ease their guilt or to
make things easier for them to understand, no matter what you say or do,
when
you become pregnant you are pregnant with a child. Nothing can change that
not even an abortion. Not even a doctor's scientific explanation.
I became pregnant when I was 19 years old (I am now 24). My child is the
most important thing in my life. When I became pregnant my boyfriend (who
is
now my husband) tried to persuade me to get an abortion. He threatened to
leave if I kept our son. My child is more important than a relationship.
If
I had to raise him on my own I would have. I was so confused and believe
me
I was not ready to have a child at such a young age, but I knew that it
was
my responsibility and if it was not a part of God's plan then I would
never
have become pregnant. I know that premarital sex is a sin and what I did
was
wrong, but my child should not have suffer for my decisions. It is not
easy,
no one ever said it was going to be easy, but I'm hanging in there. I feel
that I am doing right by my son. It is a struggle, but there is no way to
express the gift of a child. I am continuing my college education and I
own
my own business. A child cannot hold you back, you hold yourself back.
I hope and pray that anyone who considers an abortion visits this site to
see
what they could be doing to their child. No matter what your doctor says,
you are pregnant with a child. PLEASE DO RIGHT BY YOUR CHILDREN, DON'T
MURDER THEM! THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS!
Thank you for listening!

Hi, my name is Victoria, and I am 17 years
old. I really think that this is
an awesome site for people who believe in abortion. I can't believe that
people could actually do this to a child, and feel okay in any way. I
found
out about 10 weeks ago that I am pregnant. I was 16 when I found out, and
yes I know I am not ready for a child, but killing it is no answer to the
situation. I am now proud to be pregnant, even at such a young age,
because
I believe that it proves that I am not going to take the easy way out and
allow my child to suffer for a mistake I made. Let me make sure this is
clear also - the child is not a mistake, having sex with the x-boyfriend
was. Today a girl in my English class made a speech on abortion, saying
that it should be a law that anyone under the age of 18 has to have an
abortion if they become pregnant...I tried to find this site at school but
sadly I couldn't access it because of content. I wish she could be sitting
with me now as I look at the now dead babies, because mothers made selfish
choices to kill a part of them. In no way is any abortion right...even if
the baby only is going to live for 3 weeks, make that 3 weeks of its life
the best 3 weeks anyone ever had! If anyone has any questions or comments,
or is a teen mom going through pregnancy with out the guy being there feel
free to email me! CrazyCheerLeadR@youareadork.com
Thanks a lot for posting the truth!

I would like to thank AbortionTV, because
it made me see the reality about abortion. I had attempted several
times to terminate my baby, but after viewing the photos, and reading
letters from other women. It really made me change my mind. I know that
continuing to keep my child there are going to be many problems, because
my family has disowned me for my decision. But I believe that god will
work things out for me. I have five children already, and this certainly
wasn't a blessed event. But who know what will happen in nine
months. Please continue to let women know, because they do have
other choices.
Sincerely,

 This
is Michael. He was almost aborted. It makes me sick to think of what I
might have done. There was definitely enough pressure. Thank God for
conscience and feelings. I know I did the right thing.
Love,

I keep hearing from people " I have a
right to choose what happens to my
body." I believe that this is correct however, there are two bodies
not just
one. My questions to these pro-choice individuals are: How do you know
what
your unborn child feels, hears, knows, dreams and fears? How do you know
that an abortion will not put your baby through the worst and last agony
that
it will ever feel? And, how are you so certain that you will be able to
live
with yourself knowing that you tortured your creation?
Maybe they are able to look themselves in the mirror just knowing that it
is
legal, thinking of their babies simply as "tissue".
What I don't understand is how do you deal knowing that right before you
ripped your sons and daughters apart these unborn children may have been
sucking their thumbs while they listened to the soothing sound of your
heart
which they have come to know as comfort.
These are some of the same questions that I asked myself last week.
I have a personal take in all of this. I am 22 and 17 weeks pregnant with
my
second child. As pro-life as I am I actually considered an abortion. I ask
myself why because I think that I really need to understand. I think the
biggest answer is plain denial. I wanted to deny that I was pregnant
again,
and if I thought that way then it would be easier to think of my child as
tissue, a growth, facial hair, a tumor or anything else that you would
possibly "get rid of". After viewing your site it forced me to
come to terms
with the fact that I am pregnant and my baby is a person who is smiling,
kicking, crying and maybe dreaming. I have always believed that you do not
kill your unborn children but that has been about it. Until recently I
didn't know exactly how abortions were performed. I didn't really know how
developed an unborn child is during the first trimester and second
trimester.
Thank you very much for bringing me back to reality and then some.

I am 18 years old and a senior in high
school. In August of 2000, I found out
I was pregnant. I was so scared and confused, and was seriously
considering
an abortion. One night I found your site, and my mind was changed. I
decided
 to
keep my unborn baby. I just wanted to share the good news that I delivered
a
healthy, 10 lb 12 oz baby girl on April 21st at 1:21 am. She is the most
wonderful thing in my life and I love her more than words could ever
describe. I often cry and thank God for not letting me go through with the
abortion, and for finding your website. I may be young, but I am blessed
to
have a sweet, beautiful baby girl and a loving fiancé. Some say my life
may
be over...I say it is just beginning. She adds love and joy to it that I
may
never have experienced if it weren't for her. Thank you!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Jennifer and baby Morgan Gabrielle |
