Dear AbortionTV
I want to thank you for saving another life. I'm a 27
year old mother of three recently separated. Had my first child at
15. I was desperate and I was about to have an abortion because I
thought I couldn't handle having another child since I'm recently
unemployed and struggling. You made me realize my economic status
can change, but I can't bring the life of that child back. For three
nights prior to visiting your site I could not sleep wondering how the
baby looks inside me and having dreams of it kicking and moving
around. Now I feel this little person was talking to me in my sleep
trying to make me realize it was alive and deserved to live. It
sounds crazy but I feel it was the baby communicating with me. Today
I went for an ultra-sound and saw the baby kicking and moving a lot and
seemed to be trying to move away from the monitor, shy. I'm so glad
this site and others are on the net to wake people up and tell them the
truth. I'd like to make a suggestion. I think T-shirts should
be made of a picture and sold on your site of a one, two, and three month
old baby, saying "The truth is this is what they really look
like." I think just that would make a big difference.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Rodriguez L. |

Abortion TV,
Thank you so much for this site. It hits right between the eyes.
I was, at one time, pro-choice. I would use every single cliche in
the book, it's a woman's body, the back alley abortions, etc... I
got pregnant at the age of 17. I was already enrolled in college to
fullfill my dream of
becoming a professional photographer. My boyfriend at the time was
working as a host in a casino restaurant.
I was so excited to start my new life. Then, our condom failed and
my dreams were shattered. So it seemed. I refused to even
think of abortion at this time. It was fine for the other girls, but
not me. I don't know why. I married my boyfriend when we were
5 months pregnant. At the age of 19, I got pregnant while cheating
on my husband. We didn't know who's child I was carrying. I
got back together with my husband. His family, for the most part,
was very angry with me, yet. But, I couldn't bring myself to abort
this baby,
either, even though it would have simplified things. Now, Brandon is
almost 7 and Tyler will be 5 in two weeks (and we are still married,
happily!). They've been joined by our daughter, our first
'wanted/planned' child. I'm glad they 'shattered my dreams'.
They fullfill dreams I never even knew I had! Don't despair, there
is a reason and a plan for
every soul we are given care over!

Thanks for sharing your story, MC, we're
also posting it at "Babies Not
Slaughtered."

Hi my name is Michelle, and I am 25
years old. I have 3
children....9 years 4 years and 2 years. Like many of the other
people who have responded to your site, I was once pro-choice...I would
never, but it was OK for someone else. I no longer feel that way...I
am willing to in any way help spread the pro-life voice.....I would like
to distribute literature, spread the word about your site, and
hopefully make women AND men painfully aware of this ongoing and getting
seemingly worse problem...women today feel
they can slice and dice their bodies simply because it is theirs?/
I had my son three months after I turned 16.....his dad didn't want me to
have him, and had tried several home made abortion attempts, and
even took my to a clinic on my 16th b-day to have an abortion, but the doc
said he needed more $ because I was too far along....we left, and when I
did finally have my son
he was perfect.. miracle. .. he is so special all the hard work was worth raising
him...I got my GED, got married had a couple more beautiful kids and
recently started my own advertising business.....life turns out fine every
time, and for that reason I will extend as much of myself to serving the
voice of the unborn..........

Dear Abortion TV:
I wanted to write you just to let you know you have a great site
and I am really glad you have took the time to place all this information
on the web. I got pregnant @ 19 years old and I was scared to death.
Abortion was never an issue for me because I always knew it was totally
wrong. The father was gone after I gained the first 5 lbs and hasn't
been around or supported me since. But I got the best gift in the
world, a beautiful baby boy. I only had a high school education but
I worked really hard and my sister helped me. I went to college and
I am now a Registered Nurse. There are a lot of programs to help
young parents go to college. I wanted to write this letter to let
all the young people out there know that your child's life is never an
option. My baby boy is seven years old now and I don't know what I
ever did without him. I gave my speech in college in my public
speaking class on why not to have an abortion. I look @ him now and
I wonder how on earth anyone could say, " I don't have enough money
so I think I will just go have your brains sucked out." Anyone
who says the time is not right or I'm too young is just making excuses.
There are plenty of people out there who want to adopt and there are
plenty of programs to help young mothers finish their education. I
feel so strongly against abortion. Now that I am finished with school and
a nurse, I would love to volunteer my time to help young mothers make the
right decision and save some baby's life. I have wrote all my
senators and congressmen in my area. If you know of any other steps
I could take to help end abortion, please let me know.
Thank You & God bless you,

Several months ago I wrote a short story about my
situation. Well I'm very glad to say I had a beautiful 8lb 5oz 20 inchs
blue eyed girl. HAILEY is her name . For those who may not have read
my letter HAILEY almost was born. It was hard after I gave birth to
her she is my third child (I have a 6 and 7 year old). I had them
take her from the room after I delivered I wanted to think I felt guilty
about even thinking of taken her life to maybe better my own. She is now 5
weeks of age and she is the best thing that has entered
in
to my family. As I still wonder if she's my husbands child. He
treats her as one of his own. I still feel bad about cheating and I
will live the rest of my life wondering. I worried so much that my child
was born with two gray hairs but healthily. but I can live in peace
because I know I did right by keeping her and she will and has made me the
most happiest mom in the world. I would like to thank the one who email me
with those kind words they'll be with me forever just like my "HAILEY"
Here is HAILEY and her sisters Crystal on the left and Kimberly on the
right. As you can see they love her greatly, they would be lost with
out there very little sister.
Sincerely,
Bridget, Hayley

Hey there I am doing a report on abortion for school.
I never realized that it
was that bad everybody always told me that they were just tissue. I
was
pregnant about 9 months ago. I didn't even know that I was pregnant
until 8
months, I was so scared and I didn't know what to do. the day that I
went
into labor was the day that my mom found out that I was pregnant. I
was
rushed to the hospital and had my little baby boy I named him
Cameron Brooks I decided to give him up for adoption I had to interview
people and I found this very nice couple. I am so grateful that I
can give this couple that they can't have on their own, I am also happy
that I didn't even think of abortion. After I gave Cameron up for adoption
I then told his father and he is always there for me and I love him so
much because he was never mad at me even know he never got to see his son.
I hope that he knows how much I love him and I hope that people will read
this and just think about your baby you cant think about you put your self
in there shoes and just think if you were not here today I mean, there are
thousands of people in the word that can not have children and to think
that your giving life away your throwing it away so please acknowledge
this and all I ask is that you think about what your doing
"really" you could give someone a life and to kill it that's
well lets
just say that it really makes me sick!

A couple of months ago I found your site searching for
information on abortions because I had made up my mind to have one
with the baby I am carrying. I emailed you guys and I got some very
positive responses from you guys. I am now four months pregnant and my EDD
is Nov. 26. I am just now starting to feel the baby inside of me moving
(although last month I heard it kicking when the DR. listened to the
heartbeat!!). It really reassures me that I did the right thing (despite
what my sister was telling me). Although
I am unsure about whether I am going to keep the baby or place it for
adoption I know that I did the best thing by giving it the one thing
everyone on this earth has LIFE and a chance to live their own life.
Thanks a mil!!!!

My name is Hannah Amelia Turney and I was
born August 27 1986. I
weighed 2lbs and 6oz. I was born prematurely at 7 months because my
biological mother had a rare disease which caused her to give birth early. The
doctor confronted her and asked her if she would like to abort me. To me
it was
probably the hardest decision she ever had to make. But lucky for me she didn't
abort me. The doctor explained that there might be a chance that I could
come out with a disability but my mother went on with the birth. God must
of had his hands on her that day because luckily I was born with no
disabilities and my mother was fine too. I wrote this letter to inform
mothers that are planning and abortion that there is always another way.
You can always put that baby up for adoption, and give it the chance to
live its life for all it can. I am currently being adopted by a new family
because my biological mother passed away last September due to a asthma
attack. I am doing wonderful considering that I could not be here today. I
am a leader of a Program called fellowship of Christian athletes. I love
sports and I love to work with my youth group at church. I cant begin to
think of how all this could be taken away from me because of abortion. It
Hurts me to see al these children who are not even given a chance to live.
Thank you,
Hannah A.Turney |

Hello,
I am a 15 yr. old female and a sophomore in high
school. I am doing a speech about abortion and how it affected my
life. I wouldn't be here today if my birthmother aborted me.
It came across her mind to have an abortion but decided to go ahead and
have me. She was 16 when I was conceived and 17 when I was born.
She is so grateful to have had me and the biggest choice
that she had to make was to give me up for adoption. That was the
greatest thing she had done. She is now 33 years old and loves me to
death.
I am grateful for her decision and my
parents. I am able to pursue my dream of becoming an accountant and
to love my birth mom and parents to the fullest. I am a gift from
God and so is my birthmother. I am so grateful for adoption.
Your website has informed of so many things
that could happen to many children, and what could have happened to
myself. Your website taught me about so many things.
Thanks again for letting me tell my
story.

I am 15 years old, a sophomore in high school, and 9
months pregnant. I knew
I was pregnant when I was 2 months along, but never told anyone except my
boyfriend, because I thought my parents would hate me for this. Since my
boyfriend and I are small-built people, I knew the baby wouldn't be big at
all, and I wasn't showing at all. I had started to gain weight, and my mom
questioned me about being pregnant, since she knew I had sex with my
boyfriend. I lied and said no. At 6 months pregnant, I still wasn't
showing. My mom questioned me again, and made me take a pregnancy test. It
came back negative. I knew I was pregnant though, whether the test said so
or not. At 7 months, I started to show, and decided to tell my mom the
truth. She was hurt that I had lied to her, since were so close, but then
she hugged me and said everything would be okay. I never really thought
much about abortion, but when I realized what was a baby really was, I
made my choice to go immediately and have an abortion. I wasn't positive
how many weeks pregnant I was, so I just said 7 months. My mom hated the
thought of abortion, and tried and tried to get me to change my mind. She
said I could put it for adoption, just anything but abortion. I refused
and said it was my choice. I told my boyfriend about the abortion, and he
said he didn't like it, but it
was my choice and he would stand by me in whatever choice I made. My mom
called an abortion clinic that done abortions up to 7 months, and the next
day we were on our way. The doctor told her on the phone I would have a
counselor first, and then I would come back the next day for the surgery.
That was a lie. When I got there, the first thing they did was take my
mom's money. They called my name, and as I walked through that door, I
turned around and saw tears in my moms eyes. I felt a pain in my heart,
because I knew how much this disappointed her. I walked on though and went
for my weight and urine test. I asked the nurse about a counselor and in a
very hateful voice she said, "You don't a counselor, you came for an
abortion, and that's what your getting." I went in the bathroom
to put a robe on and I began to cry because my baby kicked, and I knew I
was about to kill him. I really didn't want to have an abortion after I
thought about it, but I didn't want a baby either. Adoption was out of the
question, because I knew as soon as I saw my beautiful baby boy, who would
look like my wonderful boyfriend, I couldn't give him up. I cried for five
minutes, and I went out of the bathroom and a large woman told me to come
on and quit crying. I went into the room where they did the ultrasound and
layed down. I prayed to God to get me out of what I had gotten into. As
they did the ultrasound, I told her not to let me see the screen, because
I didn't want to see my baby. That is when God answered my prayers. The
nurse said I was eight and a half months and too far to have an abortion!!
I was so happy I cried. Then I thought about raising the baby, and I
started to cry from sadness. I had so many mixed emotions. The nurse went
and got my mom and she came back to the room. She held my hand and started
crying because I I didn't have to kill him. We left the abortion clinic,
with my baby boy still in my belly, and a very disappointed abortionist,
since he would have gotten $1500 for murder. My mother comforted me and
said something I never expected her to say, "Everyone makes mistakes,
and I will help you through yours. I will take your baby, and raise him as
mine," she said. I love her so much for helping me through this. I
love my boyfriend so much too. He is with me everyday, hand in hand,
talking to his little boy and sometimes he lays his head on my belly to
listen to our baby. My baby boy, Brendan Blake, is due anytime now, and I
can't wait to see his beautiful face. I am so glad that God answered my
prayers that day, and I am very sorry that he didn't answer the prayers of
the women who have had abortions sooner. If only they could have seen
their baby first, and never had been lied to, they would have kept their
precious child. This site is very truthful and detailed, unlike these
clinics who lie and murder just for money. My heart broke when I seen what
kind of devilish act abortion really is. It's murder of a human life, not
a blob of cells. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

I wanted to commend you for your site. You tell the
truth as it should be with out sugar coating it. I was 17 and a
freshman in college when I found out I was pregnant by my boyfriend of
just 3 weeks. It was the scariest time in my life. My now ex-
boyfriend who was 19, told me he didn't believe in abortion and he would
be there. I agreed and we told our parents. Two weeks later he broke
up with me but continued to have an active part in my pregnancy. It
was the hardest 9 months I ever had. My mom was completely disgusted
with me and my father and I have no relationship because he told me it was
either and abortion or him and I picked my baby. The boyfriend and I
argued the whole pregnancy and were together off and on. I went to
school my last 2 trimesters and then December 22, 1999 I gave birth to the
most beautiful creature on the earth. Daniel Elijah. Now of course
he's spoiled by me, his dad, and his grandparents, and he has brought me
happiness like nothing else.
Babies are a gift from God no matter how they got here.
They are pure, innocent, and through all the pain they are the only joy.
I don't ever regret my son, I regret the situation in which I brought him
into, but he is the world to me.

Dear AbortionTV:
I was 17 years old when I got pregnant with Zachery Thomas, I was a
confused 17 year old to say the least. My father had died a year
before and I wasn't sure where I was going in my life or what was going to
happen from one day to the other. I was very down and depressed even
thinking of suicide. I had made plans that on the one year mark
February 14, 1992 of my dads death, I would take my own life, I thought
this was the best thing. I found out 1 week before this that I was
expecting my son Zachery. I could not bring myself to go threw with
this and end not only my life, but also the life of my unborn child with
in me. My mom eventually found out and was very supportive of my
decision to keep Zachery and raise him. On the other hand my dads
sister wanted me to get a abortion, I was very Pro-Life and had been for
most of my life. On
July 19, 1993 Zachery was born three months early and weighed 1 lb 4 ozs,
and had many medical problems. I look back now and thank God
everyday as I tuck that little boy into bed every night, that I chose to
make the right decision and keep my life and his, and that I chose not to
take the easy way out by listening to my aunt. Zachery is now the
proud brother of his little sister Christian Joy who was born in 96 and
his baby brother who was born in 98 but died in May of 99 from a rare
heart defect. So when you have the options up you, to either abort
or to keep, remember this "The Lord REMEMBERED" and think of
Zachery Thomas, a energetic little six year old.
Connie Fields,
Zachery's mom |

Oh my God! I am stunned by your site. It
really puts things in a different perspective. When I was a teen I
was pro-choice. My mind fed by the feminist of the 80's. In
1994, when I was 23 I became pregnant. While I still considered
myself pro-choice I never considered an abortion. I was pressured by my
boss (Don't ruin your life) and by one of my Aunts - who surprisingly is a
Sunday school teacher, stay at home Mom, and considers herself a devote
Christian to have an abortion. My baby's father already had children
he didn't take care of. I was having some sort of self-esteem crisis
when we met. I tried to be upset about being pregnant while holding
my head in shame as I told my family of my condition. I tried to be
disappointed in myself. I went to the doctor, scared, alone...
Because of some insurance procedure I had to have a well woman checkup
before I even let them know I was pregnant. As the assistant started
to do the pap smear I started to cry. I was so afraid that since
they didn't know I was pregnant she might hurt my baby. This woman
was receptive and to my surprise told me I was 10 weeks pregnant, and did
I want to hear the baby's heartbeat. I wanted to be happy. I
wanted someone to acknowledge what a miracle this was. She found the
heartbeat on the first try. The feeling when I heard that whoosh,
whoosh was amazing. I knew that this baby and I were in for the long
haul. The pregnancy was great, my situation during was hell.
His father became a crack addict, I went to 99.9% of the doctor's
appointments by myself, the thought for a little while that the baby had
spina bifida, It was so scary. But on June 20, 1995 (6 weeks early)
I had a C-section and gave birth to a 5 lbs. 15 oz beautiful baby boy.
The first time our eyes met I knew that my life had changed forever.
Suddenly I could not imagine ever being pro-choice. Our road has not
been easy since then but I am self supporting, happy, and have a beautiful
child. I still thought in the back of my mind that it was okay to
have an abortion as long as it was early (6 weeks?) After looking at
your website I am pro-life, anti-abortionist whatever you want to call it.
I would write more but my bundle of joy needs me.
