Abortion TV staff,
After finding your site, I needed only to spend half a minute and my
decision was crystal clear. Thank you for the truth. My due date is
June 15th, 2001. Keep up your excellent work.

My name is Melissa and I have a 18 month
old daughter and an 8 week old son. When I got pregnant the first time I
was 17 years old. I was told by my boyfriend if I ever got pregnant, he
would take me on the bumpiest ride at our theme park, in order to take
care of the situation. I told him I was pregnant and we had to have the
baby, because we didn't have money for an abortion. He kept telling me
throughout the pregnancy (as I was having my morning, noon, and night
sickness) "you should have been rid of it!" Well...I had my
little girl and he had nothing to do with her. I had to get 2 jobs and
give my daughter to my parents so I could make money for us. I stayed with
my boyfriend hoping he would get to know his daughter. I'm happy to say he
did! I became pregnant again when my daughter was 9 months old. I was so
terrified my parents would find out, and I knew I definetly couldn't
afford another, I consulted my nearest phone directory and began looking
up abortion clinics. I called around and realized they were all different
prices and I only had $200. I spoke to one of the nurses and she asked how
many weeks along I was, and I didn't know. My appointment was for that
Saturday. My boyfriend drove me to the clinic and as we pulled in the
parking lot, protestors were holding up signs of decapated babies and
saying "don't kill it, it's alive!!!" I went inside and signed
in. They demanded the $100 up front for the ultrasound. I paid with a
credit card so my mom wouldn't see it in my checkbook. They took all of
the girls into the waiting room. My boyfriend started crying and begged me
not to do it, and I shrugged him off and said I had to. The nurses began
calling us to take urine samples, to make sure we were pregnant. The next
step for me was the ultrasound. I thought by my periods, I was 8 weeks
pregnant. The ultrasound proved me wrong! I was 18 weeks along and it was
going to be $900 dollars for an abortion. They said I had to wait until
the following week because the doctor that does, "Those types of
abortions", was on vacation. I made my appointment for the next week.
I came out and my boyfriend started crying. He thought it was done with. I
told him I had to come back. I went home and looked at my daughter and
stared crying. I looked up abortion pictures on the internet and came
across the Partial Birth abortion picture. It made me so physically ill, I
didn't go back. I have a beautiful 8 week old son who I thank God everyday
that I have.

Last November I found out I was pregnant. I told
my boyfriend and he said I
would have to get an abortion because he wasn't ready to be a dad.
For weeks
we fought about it, I didn't want to get one. Finally when I was 11
weeks
pregnant, I told him that I was going to have the baby and he better just
 accept it. I
went to my first ultrasound, ALONE, and found out that it was a
little boy. I was so excited and ran home to show him the picture,
well he
couldn't have cared less. When I was 17 weeks pregnant he broke up
with me,
he said he couldn't deal with it. Deal with it? He was almost
30 years
old!!! I was so upset, I scheduled an abortion. That morning I
went to his
house prepared to go to the clinic. Something told me not to go and
I
didn't. On July 24th I gave birth to a beautiful little boy named
Christian
Jeffrey. He is the sweetest little thing and when I think of what I
almost
did to him it makes me sick. This is a very good website to give
girls, and
even guys, a reality check. The baby is really a baby even early on.

Thank you for running this website!!
I used to think that I was pro-choice. Several years ago, my husband
got laid off from his job. We had no health insurance. I became pregnant.
I had never planned to have children and this pregnancy would be financial
ruin for us. Our income was 400 dollars less than our expenses.
I decided that I could not wake up every morning and look at myself in
the mirror knowing that I had killed my baby. We had a beautiful baby boy,
and he was the best thing that ever happened to us. We got over our
financial troubles and are very happy.
My husband was adopted. He is researching his parents and has learned
that he was born to an unwed mother who was 18. I would like to thank her
for having the courage to have the baby and put it up for adoption instead
of killing it.

I am not really responding to an article. I
just wanted to let you know that
I have to do a speech tomorrow in speech class and your site was a great
help. Libraries and bookstores do not even have information on how an
abortion is really done. I also wanted to share a story with you. I was 14
when I found out I was going to have a baby. The father was 18. We were
both
happy, and afraid. When we told his mother the first thing she said was
what
were we going to do. We informed her we were going to keep the baby. But
she
did not listen. She set an appointment for an abortion. One day I went to
get
the fathers sister for school and on the way out of my house I grabbed a
 Nutragrain
bar. I threw the wrapper to the strawberry bar away as I walked
into her house. Although I should have kept it. That morning his mother
told
me that I was going for the abortion. I told her I ate already, and it was
that bar that kept my son alive. That day I reminded her that we wanted to
keep the baby. After that day I was no longer able to go near the house. I
gave birth to my son on April 28, 1996. 8 lbs. 1 oz of healthy baby
Christian
James. He was tested this year and put into kindergarten. He is the only
one
in his class of 5-year-olds that can tie his shoes. He knows his ABC's,
name,
address, phone, add, and subtract. He is very advanced for his age. I want
to
share this story because it shows that young people do know what is right
and
can give a mistake a great name. If I can do it, so can others. I also
have
this friend that had her baby I week after I had my son. One year later
she
had an abortion. She cried her eyes out every time she saw a newborn baby.
She always wondered what would the baby look like? What would the baby
have
been? She now has her 4-year-old and her daughter just turned one a few
days
ago. Not a day goes by that she dose not think about that day. All I know
is
that I wish one day abortion will become illegal again. I was always
against
abortion, but more now so that I have had my son. Babies are the greatest
gift on earth and I do not understand how some one can not realize
abortion
is murder and wrong. Even though I had my son my freshman year of high
school, I walked the graduation aisle with my class, and I am now a
sophomore
in college for my minor in sociology and major in criminal justice. Young
people can make a difference let’s make it a good one.

Hello, I wouldn't exactly say that I am against abortion I just would
not do it myself, but what I would like to address to any women who are
considering getting an abortion is....
I am 19 years of age and I found out I was pregnant May of 1999 (I was
18 years old) I considered all aspects of what I might do. I considered
abortion for awhile and decided that I was going to play the cards that
GOD had dealt me, so I was going to keep the baby. I now know that I made
the right decision. My daughter Zoe Jaiden is now 9 months old and is the
best accomplishment I have ever made in my entire life. Yes my life is not
as exciting as it use to be and I sure don't go out as much as I use to
but, my life is much, much more fulfilling. My daughter day by day learns
new things and accomplishes new talents. Every day I look at her I can't
believe that I for one moment considered getting "rid" of this
beautiful creature that GOD gave me. She is the joy of my life, the light
of my life and is definitely the best thing in my life. I would like to
say to all women out there that if you are not ready for a baby you
definitely should use some form of contraceptive because to get
"rid" of something as wonderful as a being that lives inside of
you for 9 months and when brought into this world will give you a love for
someone you never knew you could possibly have.

My 12 year old daughter came home from school looking
for information on
RU486, as her social studies class is having a debate on the topic in the
coming days. How we appreciate your informative articles. We
were so
thankful to have found your site.
A little background, my daughter is the result of a crisis pregnancy which
resulted in the greatest miracle of all - adoption. Twelve years
ago, her
birthmother courageously decided not to refuse responsibility for the life
God had created in her.
He knew all along that the precious child growing inside her was to be our
wonderful daughter!
Now she is learning about the unspeakable reality of what becomes of so
many
other unfortunate pregnant girls (and their children) who do not
hear the
truth about abortion. Thanks to all of you at AbortionTV for all
your
awesome work - may God bless each and every one of you for telling the
truth
that could save many lives.

Hello,
I have been looking at your site and I feel it is important that I
share with you a picture of my 4 year old daughter Janna. Although she is
not a "survivor" of an actual abortion, she was supposed to be
aborted by her biological mother the day I first learned of her existence.
Her biological mother is a young white woman, high school drop out, who
is involved with a black man. He does have a drug problem and is in and
out of jail. She has been physically and mentally abused by this man for
years. She does still remain with him and has 3 other children from her
relationship with this man. I have tried to help her leave him
 and
make it on her own but she always returns to him.
In the past, her biological mother had asked me for the money to have
several abortions performed. I always refused but gave her the option to
allow me to adopt and raise the child. The first time, she agreed but then
decided it would be easier to have the abortion then to allow someone else
raise her child. The second time, she agreed then changed her mind again
without giving me a reason. The third time, she said she had the money but
only needed a ride back from the clinic. Again, I offered to adopt and
raise the child. Miraculously, she agreed and followed through with the
promise. After this birth, she had her tubes tied.
My daughter Janna is now an extremely happy and beautiful 4 year old
girl. She was tested by the school and allowed to enter kindergarten at
the age of four due to high level of intelligence. She was reading and
writing at the age of 3. She can use her computer, the internet, and check
her email. She is a gifted dancer and loves ballet. She loves Jesus very
much and talks to him regularly, as if he was standing in the room with
her. She talks to the other children at school about how wonderful Jesus
is encourages them to pray. She is a miracle child.
Her biological mother has seen her a few times. She is still in the
relationship with Janna's biological father and siblings. I have sent her
pictures and allowed her to know that the child is happy and well. She
seems to be pleased with her progress. Janna knows nothing of her adoption
or the topic of abortion. I am struggling with the idea of telling her
someday.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the picture of my daughter. She is a blessing
to me and I can not imagine my live without her a part of it. To have
aborted this wonderful child would have been a terrible tragedy......

Hi, my name is Angie Yang. I didn't write to yell at you guys.
Your site
has really helped me to realize how horrible abortions can be. I
always
thought that in order for the doctor to abort the baby, he must write out
a
prescription like RU486 for you to use. As I viewed the pictures,
and read
about the techniques of abortion, I was chilled and I felt very
heartbroken
for such a human life that was a creation from God. I am currently
pregnant
with my second child, and I'm of course at 37 weeks of pregnancy. I
almost
made a decision to abort my first child, but because I was a Christian, I
didn't believe in abortions. Now my son is two, and everytime I look
at him,
I just don't ever want to lose him. He is apart of me that I could
never
bare losing. My husband who back then was still my boyfriend,
supported the
idea of abortion, just so that things wouldn't be so hard. But there
was
this one night when my husband looked at our son, and our son smiled back
really big. That's when my husband said " Now I know that your
mother and I
made the right decision when we said that we shouldn't abortion you."
I am
going to have our second son in a few more weeks, and just looking at our
two-year old son, he brightens up our life and he makes our lives so
complete
that we are not going to take a chance with abortion. Thanks for all
your
time.
Always,
Angie Yang |

HI my name is Jenessa and I'm not really writing you to
yell, I am 14
years old and I myself am adopted, not a day goes by where I don't thank
God enough that my birth mother obviously didn't believe in abortion.
Abortion is something I feel very strongly about and I have written two
reports on it this being my second one is the reason I visited your
website. I don't think I could have ended up with better a better family,
I love my life and the reason my parents adopted my two brothers and I
is because they couldn't have children. My friends say I look a lot like
my parents and all three of us have the family nose and when I tell them
we were adopted, at first they don't believe me. Its not something my
parents try to "cover up" we talk about it from time to time.
Things
like what they know about our real parents which isn't really much of
anything but its not something that we are uncomfortable talking about
and sometimes I even forget they aren't my real parents. I just wish the
rest of the world felt the same way my birth mother did about abortion,
I figure that if God didn't want that baby there He wouldn't have put it
there. People ask me if I ever want to find my birth mother, at this
age, I don't really think its something I should be doing, maybe when I'm
older, but everything happens for a reason and maybe it just wasn't meant
to be that way.
Thank You for your time

Your site has been very helpful with my decision to carry my child
full-term. I've had 2 abortions already and that's it! Thank you!

When I was 18 years old I found out that I
was pregnant. I was very happy
and began planning for my new arrival. Then at 13 weeks I went in for my
first ultra sound. I was so excited about possibly finding out the sex of
my
baby. The woman would not say anything to me during the procedure. I felt
she
was being rude. I wanted to see my baby's head and hands and feet and she
wasn't showing me anything. When she was finished she told me that I
needed
to see the doctor.
I was in no way prepared for what the doctor told
me. My baby had a
birth defect called exencephaly. And there was no chance of her ever
living
outside the uterus. She recommended abortion and I immediately agreed. She
offered to make the appointment as I waited but I was so numb, I had no
idea
what she was even saying to me. So I went home to think about it and
assured
her that I would make the appointment before the 14 week mark. When I got
home my family came over and we read the Bible together and cried
together. I
then decided I could not end my baby' s life.
I carried my baby 33 weeks when she was then
still born. I knew then
that I never would have been able to live with myself if I had gone
through
with it. Holding my little girl in my arms and having a proper burial was
the
only closure I could have ever dealt with.
I ran into this site when I was looking up birth
defects. After seeing
the pictures and reading all the text and stories I have never been
happier
that I didn't do it. And I just wanted to share my story with other girls
that may be thinking of killing their babies who may or may not be
healthy.
It may be hard to carry a baby that you don't want but there are other
options. And your life will go on.

It really changes my views on abortion. You
see, I am 9 weeks pregnant and I have been considering an abortion but
this website really made me think.

Hi! Thank you for your response! Today I had my first
appointment with my OB/GYN. And I got a sonogram! And I am only 10 1/2
weeks! I saw my sweet little baby moving around and sucking his thumb! And
he is already 3.5 centimeters long! It made me cry, it was the most
amazing moment of my life! Now I know that I could never abort this
precious little human, he is so real, and I know he definitely can feel,
because when they put the sonogram wand inside me (its too early for an
above the tummy one), he backed away from it! Thank you for AbortionTV and
the wonderful message you deliver!

I am pregnant and I already have one child she is one
and I would
probably die if she was taken out of my life. Now I am so scared. I
am
young and I may be pregnant again. I can't look into the mirror
without
thinking how stupid are you how could you let this happen to you again,
the would-be father is saying have an abortion -- he already has kids and
doesn't want anymore ( I am printing out some of the personal stories for
him to read I know it will change his mind) I am just barely taking care
of myself and my daughter alone and now I may have another child to take
care of alone how could I be so stupid and let this happen to me again,
anyway I decided to explore my options and abortion was one of them
(because I always figured why bring a baby into this world who I will have
to struggle to take care of, but even if I have to struggle as long as I
love that child with all of my heart everything will be okay) when I
looked up abortion and got your web site and saw all of those pictures
abortion suddenly came off of my list as an option I don't care if my
boyfriend leaves me if my parents never speak to me again and if I have to
work 3 jobs I will never kill my child he/she does not deserve to die for
a mistake that I have made I look at my daughter and wonder what if I did
that to her?....my mom was young when she had me what if she did that to
me?....thank you so much AbortionTV you have saved the life of my child.
Sincerely
Eternally thankful |
