Hello I am righting because I have
just found out something. I choose not to
give you my name. I am 16 yrs. and I just recently as a matter of fact The
Day after my Birthday my mother told me that 16 yrs. ago she was 2 months
pregnant with me, her mother was dying and her and my father were not
married. But at any rate, she was set to have an abortion she was 10 minutes
away from her abortion she was sitting in the lobby waiting for her name to
be called when I kicked at 2 months and in the womb I kicked and right then
was when she broke into tears and left the abortion mill. Even before she
told
me this I was Pro-Life but this just further fuels my fight to get my
message
out there. I thank god and My mother that I am still living today now when
someone says you've never been in my situation you've never been pregnant I
can so
no but I was that baby My mom was going to abort me! So I ask that every one
who reads this please pray for the end of abortion and the salvation
of everyone involved in it from the women to the "doctors" thank you for
your time
a concerned Pro-Life Teenager

7/27/01 My name is Amy. I found out I was
pregnant at 22. I was unmarried and very
confused. Thank God my husband (then boyfriend) loved me and wanted to marry
me. We were married when I was 5 months pregnant and upon returning from our
honey moon I had a sonogram. It revealed that our son would have a condition
known as "dwarfism." The first thing the doctors suggested was abortion! I
was appalled. I was against abortion, however, I was very unsure of a lot of
things at this time. I didn't know how we, a newly married, young couple
would handle this. (By the way this condition does not run in either family)
Our hopes of this beautiful precious and perfect baby were destroyed! Or,
so we thought! I gave my life to God 3 days later and He changed everything!
He changed my heart and my life. I am so happy I did not give into the
doctors when they suggested abortion, I would have lost a truly precious
gift. Gevan, was born in November of "96" and continues to shine his light
upon all who meet him. He is a wonderful child, and has no medical problems
except that he has not grown any hair and is only 28 inches tall. Just to
let everyone know, I do believe in having a choice, but that choice comes
before you get pregnant. The choice you should make is "should I have sex
and chance pregnancy and disease?" OK "should I abstain and be safe?" That
is what the pro-choice movement should be about, not killing our own
children. No wonder our children shoot each other up and kill their own
parents. We have taught them to not respect human life! God is good. He
brought me out of many things and He continues to give me grace to go on. I
know He will do the same for you. I now have 2 other sons, (both average)
and my husband and I are happier than we have ever been! Thank you Jesus!

You are doing a great service to the Pro-Life community
with your site.
I've never had an abortion, or been pregnant, but I find
that I have as much right to have my say, as I, probably more than others,
could of been aborted as an unborn. I was conceived through rape. My
mother was 14 and that's statutory rape in New Zealand. She could have
aborted me, but she didn't and I thank the Lord God for my life and for
the courage of my mother. I was given up for adoption to a loving home,
where my mum taught me to fight abortion and respect life. She took me to
Life rallies when I was young. I am now legally able to search for my
birth mother, and I will say "thank you" when I meet her.
I find it insulting when people dehumanize the unborn
child conceived in rape, I find it insulting when they just dehumanize the
unborn child, period.
Abortion is a sick, disgusting, infamous act of killing
a baby before she can even see the light! I find it disgusting that people
can support such an act.
Abortion may not be murder, but it is homicide.
Sincerely, God Bless.

9/17/01 When I was pregnant with my son, my doctor told me that he
recommended
that I get an abortion because there was a very good chance that I would
 not
survive the birth. (I had a rare disease with my first pregnancy and I
almost died. I was 16) I have to admit that my survival instinct kicked
in and I might have given in and did it but, I saw the ultrasound and
knew then after seeing my little baby boy that I could not do it! Now I
am a devoted Christian and I would never consider doing it even if it
meant certain death. I love my son more that my own life and I am
glad that I made the discussion that I did.

7/12/01 I came across your site today by accident. My daughter and
I were actually doing a search to see if we could find information on the
largest baby ever born. When I came across your site I felt compelled to
look. The pictures and stories on your site made me cry. I decided, after
reviewing your site, that I should share my story with you.
When I was 17 years old I found out that I was pregnant - it was the
summer before my Senior year in high school. The thought of abortion never
entered my mind, however, my family wanted me to have an abortion. I had
good grades in school and my family wanted me to go to college - not have a
baby. I would not give in to my family, I new that I could not live with
myself if I had an abortion. My boyfriend and I got married, fortunately
both of us had jobs, he was working full time since he had just graduated
from high school and I was working part-time and going to school. I finished
high school and graduated on time with the rest of my class. I actually
stayed in school until the 8th month of my pregnancy at which time I began
having some health issues and my doctor suggested that I be home schooled
until after the baby was born. I was home schooled until my daughter was
born and I went back to school to finish my Senior year 6 weeks after she
was born.
I will not lie to you, my life has not always been easy, I have had some
very difficult times. My marriage to my daughter's father only lasted 4
years. I finished high school but I didn't finish college. I have been able
to earn a decent living as a legal secretary and I feel that I have been
very fortunate. 8 years ago I began a relationship with a wonderful man that
I soon married and we have a daughter that will be 5 years old next month. I
will be 35 years old in October, I am now a stay-at-home mom (I love that
job) my oldest daughter, Virginia is 16 1/2 years old. I have never
regretted having Virginia, I love her and she is wonderful. I wouldn't trade
one day of my life with my children. My only regret is that I wasn't able to
give Virginia all of the things and time that I have been able to give my
younger daughter. Nevertheless, I am happy that I was mature enough to make
the right decision and allow Virginia to have the greatest gift of all -
Life!
Thank you.

Hello my name is Angela
Stewart and I am 18 years old and a couple of my fellow classmates at OSU in
Newark are doing a presentation on the effects on abortion on the doctors
life. We are interested in knowing what he or she goes through and if it has
any affect on his or her family members? Is their any cases you think you
have gotten attached to? If so What happened? What is the youngest Girl who
has gone through an abortion? I would really love to hear what you think or
if there is any other information or a number I could call my classmates and
I would be very grateful thank you.
Always,
Angela Stewart

I am 21 years old. It was the end of July
2001 that I found out that I was pregnant. I was in shock and needed to talk
to someone. I wasn't going to see me boyfriend until later in the next day.
I called into work and went to see my brother's girlfriend, who just had his
twins 5 months ago. My brother came home from work and saw me crying and
asked me what was wrong. I told him I was pregnant. They both told me to get
an abortion because my life was just starting and I just turned 21. They say
I still needed to party and finish college. Later that day I informed my
boyfriend that I was pregnant. He was just as shocked as I was. We talked
about it and I wanted to have our baby. I called around to see what doctor
will see me. And I went into an office and they confirmed I was pregnant and
gave me all this information on having a baby. Four days after I found out
myself I told my mom, who is a single mother (my dad died when I was 9).
She told me right away that I was going to have an abortion. No ifs or butts
about it. Then she found out who was the father and she was really pushing
it then. I was still determined that I would be able to handle it on my own.
My brother called me and was trying to convince me to get the abortion done
because he wanted to me to do something with my life. He said it is really
hard for him to raise his two new ones. But he had twins, I was only having
one. Then he said that my mother would be so proud of me if I went through
with the procedure. After just disappointing my mother I wanted her to be
proud of me. So I went home and told her that I would get it done and she
called and made the appointment. On August 9, 2001 I went to the clinic and
I walked in there ready to turn around. They brought me in a room to have
the ultra sound done but I did not look at my baby because I did want to
look at him or her then lose them in just a few short hours. They brought me
in a room to talk to me and I told them I wasn't sure that I wanted it done
and they were like it is your choice. But my mother said there was no way
out except to have the abortion done. When they laid me down to start I
starting crying and the nurse said that it was not my time to cry it was
when they put the needle in my arm to draw blood. I was looking at the
ceiling crying, wondering what I was doing and the next thing I knew I was
in the recovery room. The drive home was silent. My mom kept saying it was
for the best. Best for who, her because she won't have to tell anyone that
her daughter got pregnant. She was ashamed of me. I regret my choice so much
and I will never forgive myself and not following my heart. Anyone reading
this just follow your heart. God doesn' t put you in a situation that you
can't handle. Another thing when I was driving home after the abortion
Creed's "With arms wide open" came on and just stared out of the window in
shock and crying inside for my child that I just killed. My boyfriend and I
are still together and loving each other more and trying to recover from
this. He told me one day we will start a family again but our first child
will always be in us. Please just follow your heart and do not listen to
others. IF you have had an abortion and want to talk or thinking of getting
one email me whenever you want and I will be glad to talk to you.

7/9/01 I have looked at your site and just
thought I would add a quick letter to
your yell at us page. When I was younger I
was very pro-choice I thought that if I ever made the
stupid mistake of becoming pregnant (like some of my teenage friends did) I
would have an abortion, no doubt about it.
I then fell pregnant, I know stupid I was 19 and just starting university
and
as soon as I found out I thought ok, I will have
an abortion. I went for a
scan to see how far along I was and imagine my surprise when the nurse
started flustering about inserting the scanning thing into my vagina
(excuse
my ignorance on technical terms) She started apologizing because 'I was too
far gone for that'.
They did the scan and I was roughly 21 weeks pregnant already, The nurse
said
it was still possible for an abortion to be carried out but me and my
partner
looked at the screen and there was this baby and it SO looked like he was
 looking
at me and waving.
I couldn't go through with it because this was a little LIFE, and I am so
glad I never went through with it. Ethan is mine and my partners pride and
joy, it is funny to look back and realize I was so ill informed about
abortion. I was willing to kill the one thing I would now die for.
Thanks for listening

7/5/01 AbortionTV,
I got pregnant 4 days before my 17th birthday, after having recovered
from a miscarriage 4 months before. At first I really considered abortion,
because I was scared that it was another miscarriage. After I went to my
first doctors appointment, I heard her heartbeat, and then 2 months later,
saw her for the first time. I am happy to say that I graduated high
school,
and I start college a couple of weeks after I turn 18. I am now 32 weeks
pregnant, and more excited than ever to meet my daughter. The father is
still with me and constantly asks me how she is.... I truly do not regret my
decision.

8/27/01 Oh my God! I am prolife, but am currently in a situation
which I am being
forced to make a decision of either abortion or being kicked out of my
house.
I was looking around at various webpages on abortion when I saw your page. I
forced myself to read everything I could find, especially
the pictures. I
feel that I have made a very informed decision about not aborting my baby, I
wanted to thank you for the truth from the bottom
of my baby's and my heart!

6/28/01 HI,
my name is Rena and when I was 15 I got pregnant. Nobody wanted me to
keep my baby but me, the father, my mother, even
my best friend. But thank
god I didn't listen to them. After looking at your site I know I made the
right choice. I had healthy twin boys at age 16. I graduated high school on
time and am also an certified EMT and will be going to fire academy this
fall
2001. I am still with the baby's father. So see
this is to prove that just
because you get pregnant you can still accomplish things.

Well, after reading a few articles you have posted on your site, I
thought I would like to share my story with you. When I was 14 years old, I
learned that I was pregnant. I thought to myself "This happens to other
people, NOT ME!" Yet, it happened to me, a normal teenager, experimenting
with what only married adults should be doing. My boyfriend, at the time,
begged me to abort the baby and I had a hard time telling him "No". And
 besides,
my mother wouldn't let me (Thank God for Moms, huh? ). She talked
to me about all the options I had open, and not one of them was abortion
(Thank God again). Well, after hearing about adoption and things like that,
I
decided that I wanted to keep my baby and be the best mother I could be.
When I was 7 months pregnant, I went into pre-term labor, and I was so lucky
to have a pro-life ob-gyn who gave me medicine via IV to help stop
contractions. After that incident, I carried to term and had a healthy
beautiful baby boy, he was 9 pounds 1 ounce!
Now, I'm 17 years old, ready to go to college, and my son has helped
me to get where I want to be. If it wasn't for him, I know that I would be
in a world of problems, even though he is only 2 years old. I have to give
him a lot of credit for keeping me in the house a
lot so I didn't get into
trouble. And another thing I wanted to say: Being pregnant isn't the end of
the world, it's the beginning of a beautiful miracle that will grow to love
you for being there. Thank you so very much
for listening.
