Ladies,
I want to share my story with those of you who have gone through the
traumatic experience of abortion, i also want to reach out to those of you
who may be considering going through with this life regretting decision, or
at least help you to some extent.
I am, today, a 40 year old woman with a decent job and two beautiful
children God has blessed me with.
When I was 19, I was in the military, making big decisions, living on my own
and was very well taken care of by my (military) family. I was dating
two different guys, nothing serious, just having fun and not thinking of
true responsibility. I found out I was pregnant, my life seemed to
stop! How could i be so irresponsible to do this? the only thing that went
through my mind was a carbon of how my life was growing up. I could
never have a child who didnt have a father around. Believe me, i knew
neither of these guys would never be around, i saw my biological father skip
out on us. I told the one guy, and was honest. I let him know i was
with someone else and there is a 50/50 chance. he actually understood but
would you believe he got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. i
told him no. it wasnt fair to him, or any innocent child.
I was so determined to not ruin another childs life that when i found out i
was pregnant, the nurse in the dispensary asked me what my decision was that
day. if i was going to have the baby or abort. i had to make a
decision that day. i decided on abortion.
i told the guy who asked me to marry him my decision, he was against my
decision but said he would be there for me. i pushed him away, i already
started my self destruction when i found out. I never told the other
possible guy.
When I went into the clinic, I was so sick, like the baby was telling me no
no no no no!! i kept throwing up, i had to be pushed back two times because
of my sickness. I was 4-6 weeks along and was told it was just material not
a fetus yet. I did not know what i was going to go through or what the
procedure was until i got on that table. The nurse got me on the table as
quick as she could, the doctor came in and quickly went over the procedure.
I, of course, did not understand and wanted to know more but they told me to
lay back before i get sick again, turned on the vacuum and inserted the
tube. i kept my head to the side and cried. i cried the whole time, i
cried my way into the recovery room. i did something so very wrong i could
not take back nor ever be forgiven for. How could God forgive me for such a
sinful and selfish act?
Almost a year later, i met and married a man. I found out i was pregnant
again and was so excited to have my opportunity back for what i did a year
earlier. To our dismay, I carried my daughter for 39 weeks and delivered her
asleep. I became extremely depressed and questioned God why He had taken my
precious daughter from me.
It took me 9 years to even think of having any more children, but i lived
with the guilt and shame of my abortion for 18 years until I got saved.
i would like to start off before us women have sex, deeply consider the
consequences and other possibilities. some women are not built to be
nurturing and motherly, please consider what the act consists of. If
you do not want to become pregnant, please use protection, or no sex at all.
i pray for all those little souls with our Father and will one day see my
son. I pray he forgives me and will fall at his feet when i do get to
meet him. I also pray for the souls Father has given and are not
wanted. I pray for you, women, please consider other options before
you make a self destructive or shameful act.
Thank you so much

Hi. I
am so glad that I found your website and like many others, who has had
abortions, I wish I had found this website before I had mine. In 2007, at
the age of 25, I found out I was pregnant the Tuesday after memorial day, I
was completely in shock; but in a good way, as I was told as a teenager that
I would possibly not be able to conceive. I had already knew what my
boyfriend would say and what my grandparents would say (being of the white
race and having an African-American mixed baby, it would be a disgrace and I
would be disowned.) I waited a couple of days to tell my boyfriend and when
I did the first words out of his mouth were, "YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN ABORTION."
I fought with him for days and days; however he wasn't backing down. It was
either do it or we wouldn't be together anymore. His way of justifying it
was "it was an accident and wasn't planned!" Finally, I told my mom, she was
fine with it and asked me what he said, I told her he wanted me to have an
abortion. My mom wasn't trying to talk me into an abortion nor was she
trying to talk me out of it. I tried to explain to him that I was a catholic
and was pro-life and it wasn't right because it kills children.
Unfortunately, I chose him over my unborn, precious child. I kept telling my
boyfriend that this child was a gift from God and that we shouldn't be
unappreciative and give it back. He didn't want to hear it. I cried myself
to sleep and I kept rubbing my tummy and telling my poor baby that I was
sorry. I asked God for forgiveness. I was an emotional wreck, not that being
pregnant wasn't already emotionally and physically draining enough, I kept
fighting.
Finally, I was tired of fighting so I went to the clinic. The waiting room,
with about 10 other girls, stayed eerily quiet. I was called in by the nurse
and I as I laid on that table I prayed the rosary. The doctor came in and he
gave me a shot and I nearly said that I changed my mind and didn't want to
do that, when my body just fell numb. It was done and I stayed with my
boyfriend.
About
three months later I slumped into deep, deep depression. I couldn't look at
children. I didn't want to be around my friends. I cried every day at any
thought of "it". I denied invites to baby showers, weddings and any joyous
occasions. My boyfriend wanted to know what I was acting so depressed. I
tried to explain it to him; however he just continued to justify the
situation as an accident and that some day I would have another baby.
In
March of 2008, 9 months to the day after my abortion I found out I was
pregnant again. My birth control had failed. HOW? I didn't even miss a
pill. I knew it had to be "meant to be," because things like that just
don't happen by accident. By now I was tired of fighting and completely
emotionally drained. I told my boyfriend and I got the same answer as I did
with the first one, except this time, he punched a hole in the wall. I
didn't fight. I told him you want the abortion, you pay for the whole thing
and he did, all $450 of it. I reacted the same way as before.
It's
now 2010, none of my pain has gone away. The depression is even worse. I
mourn the loss of my unborn babies every day. I even found a prayer on a
website to pray for my unborn children. I am haunted with the fact that I
will never know how my babies would have looked, what gender they would have
been or what I would have named them. I regret the decisions I have made and
how that decision changed me. I don't look at life the way I used to. I'm
not as cheery or as fun to be around as I once was. My smile is just a
facade. I'm now bitter and cold. I keep thinking how badly I want my babies
back and how I should have just left him and had the first one and how if I
did I would never had to have had the second abortion. I have shed so many
tears I have nothing left.
Ladies, if you find yourself facing this decision, please don't do it. A
child is not an accident it is a gift. DO NOT allow anyone to make your
decision for you. It deserves a chance at life, whether it be with you or
another loving family. Never have a reason to look back with regret
otherwise you will live your life the way many of us women live ours. Always
remember, "where is there is faith, there is hope" and things will work out
even better than you imagined.

Today
I was reading through some of the letters from the YellatUs column. I
came to the website not as a volunteer today but needing some inspiration as
to why either keeping your child or giving it up for adoption is the best
option.
Some of you have come here for answers. Maybe to make a better
informed decision.
I know of some people who just left to go overseas to adopt a child
recently. I can't begin to tell you how blessed I am to know these
people and have them in my life. It feels like whom ever reads their
blog or talks to them about their adoption journey is on it with them.
Make you feel like your part of their family, even if it's just for the
journey. It's practically just like having a child!!
I'm not trying to convince you to make a decision..............I'm just
trying to maybe enlighten you as to how the adoptive parents feel if you
were to give your child up for adoption. Not just the parents but
their whole family. Your child would be so blessed and you could rest
assured your child would be in good, loving, supportive hands.
The love I have for this child that their adopting...............there's not
enough words to describe the love we all feel for her.
Just a thought....................
Have a blessed day,
Ms. Lacey

I
learnt recently that
http://www.abortiontv.com/ has had some of its pages censored in
Australia. As some of the pages (under the
tab 'abortion techniques' & 'photographic evidence') on my own
http://abortsa.com/ site -- which is hosted overseas, has been given a
R18+ classification, I was wondering was there anything that can be done
about this?
I have contacted a Federal senator who I hope is sympathetic to the
situation, but other than that I am at a loose end in knowing what I can do.
It is amazing that the Australian Government can be allowed to prevent
teenagers looking at the facts about abortion, when thousands of them are
having abortions each year (and many of these are well under 18 years of
age). Surely, teenagers should be able to independently access information
on abortion, especially when abortion clinics fail to tell them the full
reality.
All the best,
Trevor Grace
Thank you for your letter and concern.
We�ve been aware of this for some time, and have been disappointed
that any government would take part in censorship.
It�s truly a shame.

Thank you for the education, I am a 47yo man and I
use to politically hold a pro-choice position for women, but the reality of
abortion and what it really is,- has changed that for me. I'd say much
but won't, suffice to say I beg women and young ladies in particular - to
NOT go down the path.
Please
ladies, avoid ever being in the situation where you face such a dreadful
question, treasure your bodies and accept in your mind that *no man*, that
no unprotected activity - is ever worth risking unplanned pregnancy.
I note that this website is filtered (to be) from
Australian internet users under this countries developing internet censor.
Australia was once a free country, but some dangerous PC nanny-state types
are changing all that, and in regards this adult topic,- will have negative
consequences for the unborn and young ladies and women in general in the
time ahead.
That
aside, men and teen males in particular, must take full and absolute
responsibility for their personal actions; its *not* cool simply to bed a
girl and walk away like a gutless worthless coward. Such males should
never-ever suggest 'abortion/termination' or whatever sanitized name you
might apply resulting from selfish actions. If as a man you cannot
handle that reality, then keep to your damned self,- till your grow up some
more.
I am
not a church going Christian, but nonetheless I am compelled; may these
precious unborn human beings so finished, find sweet peace in gods
comfort, and may we be forgiven for our deplorable ignorance and arrogance,
amen.

Dear Friends of life:
My name is Jim Baltrinic and I am the Director of Saint Cecilia Classical
Productions Inc.. Our pro-life singing group, �The Ladies of Cecilia�, has
just released their first pro-life single, �Let Me Be Born�, at Amazon.com.
Through music and songs that young people can relate to, the goal of this
group is to inspire and encourage today�s youth to embrace the Culture of
Life, This song accomplishes that goal in a most beautiful way.
Can you help us spread the news about this new message of �life�. We are
asking as many people as possible to download the song and give it to a
young person, girls especially. You can put it on a CD, iPod, etc. It would
also make a great teaching tool for Life Teen and other youth group leaders.
It could, for example, be used as a follow up to a discussion about
abortion. It can be downloaded from Amazon.com for $0.99. You can also order
a CD of the song from us. See attached order form.
Also, could you please forward this message to as
many of your contacts as possible? If your prayer group or organization has
a news letter, could you insert the attached notice in it?
�Let Me Be Born� was written to help educate today�s youth about the evils
of abortion and to refute some of the more common misleading pro-choice
slogans: �it�s my body�; �it�s my choice�; �it�s just a blob of tissue, not
a baby", etc. It clearly states the Church�s teaching about the evils of
abortion, and positively shows that there is new life in the womb, a life
that is a child, not a "choice", a child who wants to live, love and be
loved in return.
The song is basically about an imaginary conversation between a little baby
in the womb, and it�s mother. The baby overhears it�s mother talking about
having an abortion and decides it�s time for a serious �mommy-baby� talk. As
the song progresses, we see that the baby is really talking to all of us:
asking us to pray for an end to this scourge on our nation; asking us to
proclaim, to all young people, the truth about abortion. The baby in this
song represents all babies whose �mommy�s� may be considering an abortion;
it is speaking for all those unborn children who are unable to say: "mommy,
I want to live�.
See:http://www.amazon.com/Let-Me-Be-Born/dp/B003AXIWAE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1268602231&sr=1-1

Hi,
I
don't care what you all think. I care what God thinks. Now without preaching
a sermon, there's heaps of Scriptures about sacrificing people (including
little unborn babies) to Molech. And if you don't think babies are included,
have a good look at the Bible for yourselves with the help of someone else
if necessary. But don't go carrying on about this and that but then sitting
back and saying you'll do nothing about it! It isn't gonna work with me I'm
afraid.
My Mum
wanted to abort me for family reasons but cancelled. She's lucky she did,
and she's lucky I'm Christian, because the wall between me and the intention
of killing her is Jesus. Yes, I still think I could kill my mother, but I
know it's as bad as aborting babies, so I immediately give that evil thought
to Christ. I'm not perfect, but anyone who thinks it's perfectly all right
to kill are less perfect than an ant! The fact that they don't even care how
others feel until it's too late proves to me how selfish they are and
they're worse than selfish pigs, excuse the pun there. I will appologise for
the sake of repentent people out there, but I'm not appologetic for the
unrepentent abortionists and I don't care how you feel when you read this.
All I care is, that you reading this might make you wake up to yourselves
just enough to realise where your life has gone crooked.
I'd
like to thank Abortion TV for letting me voice myself! If it wasn't for you
I'd still have this opinion bottled up inside me, because I've found that
you who run this site, and the Lord Jesus Christ are the only ones who truly
understand how I feel on this subject. So thank you once again.

Good
morning!
I've
been looking for websites to post information about our post-abortion
support program. We're located in the western suburbs of Chicago and offer Bible studies (group or
individual) for women as well as men.
Many
of our study leaders are post-abortive themselves and have found healing and
forgiveness through this study.
If
you'd like more information you can contact me at
Restore@carenetdupage.com.
We have a temporary website - the new and improved should be up by the end
of the week! The web address is:
Restoreafterabortion.com
Thanks
and God bless your work!

My
name is Melissa, and I am the survivor of a saline infusion abortion
attempt. When my 19 year old,
biological mother entered the hospital for the abortion attempt, she
estimated herself to be 18 to
22
weeks pregnant. Medial review of
my birth records indicate that she was likely closer to 24 to 28 weeks
pregnant.
Over
the course of a five day period, I endured the deliverance of this toxic
salt solution into the amniotic fluid around me, while numerous rounds of
Pitocin were delivered to my mother with the intent to induce labor and
dispel my dead body from the womb.
When I was delivered in bed by a nurse that fifth day, I was believed
to be dead.
However, instead of being scalded to
death from the outside-in, I had survived! Gratefully, the doctors and
nurses stepped in and provided me with the medical care that I needed to
survive the abortion attempt and my premature birth.
Although doctors believed that I would likely not live for very long,
and if I did survive, would be disabled, I am now 32 years old and am
perfectly healthy, happy and successful.
Although I had always known that I had been adopted, I didn't find out about
the abortion attempt until I was 14 years old.
At that time, my older sister, who is also adopted, became pregnant
as a high school student, and was considering having an abortion.
Our mother told her about my survival in the hopes that she would
choose life for her child. I am
proud to share that my oldest nephew is now 17 years old!
I
spent over 10 years of my life searching for my biological parents and
attempting to obtain my medical records.
It wasn't until May of
2007
that I obtained my records and found my biological parents.
Since that time, I have been reunited with a number of relatives on
my biological father's side of the family, and I have had communication with
my biological mother's parents.
My life has also come full circle, as I gave birth to my first child,
Olivia, at the very same hospital where my life was supposed to end.
I have now founded an organization in honor of Olivia, to share my
story of survival with the world, to give testament to the grace and glory
of the Lord, and open the hearts and minds to the true reality of abortion,
the intergenerational impact that abortion has on families and communities.
Finding
out about the abortion attempt was not pleasant, and processing through my
own personal feelings of grief and loss have not been easy or simple, but I
wouldn't change a thing. This is
who I am.
I am a
survivor, a believer, a living testament to God's grace and the power of
hope, love, and healing.
Melissa O
Wonderful letter, thank you for sharing this with us, as it's an
inspiration to all of us. We're also posting this at "Aborted
Abortions."

I had
and abortion with twins. I was getting married and I convinced myself that
it wasn't the right time. So did my fianc'. He made me do it. I wish I could
have changed my mind and just kept them. I got laid off from work we were
just starting out and I didn't want children with someone who didn't want
them. I'm so depressed and I have no one to talk to. He doesn't want to talk
about it with me he just rather forget it ever happen. But I think about it
everyday. I try not to because I
have two kids that need me but didn't they need me too. I feel so worthless
inside. It's like no one understands my pain. I don't know what to do. I can'at
tell my mom it would kill her. Abortion is never the answer. Trust me you
will feel like giving up, depressed and just confused. That's how I feel
confused. It's been three months and I still don't have a job. Everyday I
look at him and I hate him sometimes.
How he can just walk around like nothing never happened. But who am I
to hate him I might as well hate myself while I'm at it. I ask God to
forgive me but it seems like I can't forgive myself. U don't want this
monkey in your back for the rest of your life. Trust me. I need counseling
because this cant be a quick fix like and abortion. So if you thinking about
doing it think again and again and again. It's not worth the pain.
M.N.
Dear M. N.
I have been
through a similiar experience. You have passed the most painful and
difficult obstacle in the healing process. Please know, there is no
sin under Heaven so unforgivable as to render you unable to heal with Jesus'
help. Once you are able to accept His forgiveness, then forgiving
yourself is the next step.
Please accept
that forgiveness is for you also, and not just for those who have offended,
hurt, and damaged your heart. You are angry with your fiance' and he
may be angry with himself. Perhaps it is time to move on? That anger
cannot be the basis for a healthy relationship until it's let go. If
you can do this, maybe the relationship can survive. If not, please
re-examine marrying this person. Jesus does not want us entering into
the marriage commitment lightly. Harboring resentment, bitterness, and
hatred will bring toxicity into the marital relationship and potentially
damage any future children you may have. Marriage is for the nurturing
and protection of children as well as a loving union. Please ask
yourself if you can commit to a lifetime with this person? Do you
trust he will love, support, and care for you as you have needed? I am
not seeing this in your writing. There are loving, good men who will commit
to their wives and unborn children; and every woman deserves nothing less
when she brings a child into this world. Letting go would be difficult, but
it may be a path to a broader healing of your heart. I ask you to
forgive him, regardless of the outcome in this decision. Forgiveness
allows you to move on. Many times, while we spend years beating
ourselves up and hating the people who hurt us, they move on. Don't
allow those who hurt you to continue to hurt you through self-victimization.
Often, they move on while we continue to beat ourselves up for years.
It's a waste of time and energy.
Your little
ones are in Heaven in the arms of Jesus Christ. I urge you to find a
competent, loving counselor through Catholic Charities or CareNet. You
can move toward healing and there is a chance to move forward. You
cannot take back the past, but you can be confident in your future.
Please feel free to e-mail me if you like to request my address through the
site. Big loving hugs to you!

Dear Abortion TV

I am 23 years old and my husband is 23 years old too! We
have been together for 5 years and we are married for a year and is still
going strong! I remember the first time that I got pregnant and I was scared
and wondering what to do? I couldn't tell my mother right away and I know
how mad that she will get with me and my boyfriend! The whole problem my
boyfriend and I were 21 at the time and we just graduated the year 2005
together at the age of 19 years old. My own mother wanted me to have a
abortion or a adoption!!! There is no way in hell I wouldn't do that!! I
wouldn't forgive myself ever!!! So my boyfriend and I thought that we
should get married and prove to them that we mean business keeping our
child! I was 6 months pregnant at the time! Even I went through a tough time
with my mom while I was pregnant and that she just had to get use to it and
thank god she did when my baby girl was born! My baby girl was born April
2nd 2008. She was 7 lbs and 12 oz. 7:05 am
I am really thank full to have this sweet baby
angel to be born and now she is a 14 months old!! Her name is Elizabeth and she is a
sweet baby to have and her daddy and mommy love giving her kisses!! Thank
god I didn't do the wrong horrifying thing to hurt my self and my child is
ABORTION!!! I hate the word ABORTION!! To me its a hateful word to hear from
young woman that just to do it to make parents or boyfriends feel better and
not the mother!!! God didn't give us a choice to have abortion ever in the
bible! Now I am pregnant again and this time I am having a baby boy in July
16th!! So that my daughter Elizabeth can have a brother to play with when he
gets bigger! I am planing on having another baby in the future! I am
thankful to find this website and learning about abortion and its a crime to
see a innocent baby that is getting murdered every year!!
Thank you!,

No
yelling, just a woman's observation.
I am pro-life but i am also pro-woman --- it is my hope, in the same way
that Jesus and God the Father is/are. The problem that i have found
with almost all Pro-Life supporters is that they treat the mother like a
non-person ...as if she is nothing more than the incubator in which the
child is to become a person in ----- a means to an end (in the same way that
Pro-Abortion supporters do). I think that we Pro-Life supporters would
make A LOT of headway in the public arena if we started answering the needs
and concerns of the mothers and the effects that an abortion will have on
them, physical, emotional, while also helping them understand about
their babies and bringing them to term, whether they decide to keep their
children or give them out for adoption (Note: i like open adoptions; it
enables the mother to keep in contact with her child while still being able
to give him/her to someone who is better able to raise him/her).
By the way, as a woman, i do not see that Pro-Abortion people view women as
people either. They deny women just the basic human rights adequatly
trained medical personell, aseptic envirnment, anesthesia, medical emergency
care, freedom from forced "concent", of FULL and TRUE patient informed
consent concerning the developement of her unborn child and the consequences
to her health physically and emotionally.
So i hope you can use my comment to help increase Pro-Life's ability impact
our world.
Gail
(PS:
You website had some great information ---- that i hadn't known, too).

Unfortunately
the world is full of story like mine. I could write a book on the flow of
emotions me and my girlfriend went and, above all, still go through. I will
write only few lines on my life experience, and if only one person who would
read me will change idea my life will have been worthier.
We lived and still live in two different cities (Paris
and Luxembourg),
seeing each other over the week end. We love each other, but this, as you
will read below, doesn't count for what happened. Two moderate salaries and
in junior positions, but smart and ambitious. We both study besides work.
Sometimes we where speaking about children, we both wanted in the "future".
She got pregnant. Emotions in order: incredulity, surprise, light happiness
for a little miracle of nature, thoughts on money/time/small
house/study/work, rising preoccupations, discussion, waves of panic,
proposal of abortion, silence, discussions, silence, cries, lack of sleep,
decision to abort.
Decision founded on arguments like not enough money, impossibility to pursue
our career and studies, living in 2 different cities, apparent simplicity in
doing an abortion through a pill, and maybe we are always in time to do a
baby in the future.
She goes to abort within 4 weeks, through the RSU pill. It goes smoothly,
although with a lot of belly pain in some moments for her. We go back home.
We don't speak for hours, both silent. In the days after we avoid the
subject. The nurse at the hospital told us that usually couples realize
fully what happens only some time later. She was right.
For me it happened in a subway, when I looked to a mother holding a baby. I
looked at the little hand of the child holding the mother's one. I didn't
see them, but only the hands connection. The reality opened in my guts,
cutting them alive. Through that abortion, I refuse to hold that hand, I
turned my shoulders to someone having part of my blood in his veins, my
skin, my eyes. My face. I didn't let that face encounter mine.
It doesn't matter I love my girlfriend, it could have been a one night
stand, that was part of me. That little hand looking for mine is haunting
each and every single night. Sine one year, and it doesn't slow down.
I once had lunch with the CEO of my company. He had a son when it was still
at university, without any money, he continued to study. He said that keep
the baby was the best choice of his life and formed is character more than a
MBA. You can imagine how I felt. No, I think you cannot imagine, and I hope
you'll never feel that. Being aware of you biggest life mistake. Aware you
will never do something worse in life, because you can't.
If the satisfaction, privilege, miracle, of seeing yourself in another human
being is not worthy a little sacrifice, what is it, a job like millions, a
diploma like millions, a house like millions?!?!? I feel ashamed for the
reasons on which we based our decision upon.
Besides, I found out I have varicocele, and my fertility is very low and we
will probably struggle to have children in the future.
Just don't do my mistake, save your sleep, your conscious, yourself into
another human being. Think longterm, what is the value of a little hand
looking for yours.

I wasn't happy
that Tiller was murdered, at all! Yet I rejoice in the number of
kids' lives that will now be saved. I'd like to know:
* How long was
Tiller's "career"?
* What is the
latest-term he ever aborted?
* Was he
suspected of aborting for underage girls without parental notice?
* Est. of how
many total abortions he performed, and the number on an annual basis?
* How much $$
did he make doing this, annually or total?
I prayed that
our Lord would have mercy on his soul. That guy was one sick,
cold-hearted dude!
Thanks,

had an
abortion a couple of years ago to twins. I didn't know anything and they
told me that it wasn't a baby, there was no beating heart so there was no
pain at all. They lied to me. I was 11 weeks to twins. I only did it
thinking it was not harmful in any way. After finding your website and
looking it up on you tube I now learn what happens and the truth. I am
broken hearted for what I have done to those two precious babies. I will
never forgive myself. I think it's so important for women to know the truth
before going ahead. The clinics lie to you to make you go through it. I was
stupid enough to believe them. I am having trouble with life now realizing
what actually happens. I now have a 1year little girl and she is the love of
my life. I am getting married this year but Every time I look at my daughter
I think about those two angels everyday. I really need help, I am struggling
to go through this. I cry myself to sleep every night. My fianc' doesn't
know what to do. He was devastated to see the procedure as well and said he
wouldn't have let me go through with it if he knew. But I just want to say
thank you for telling women the truth. I just wish I found this website
before I went through it. It would have saved two gorgeous babies lives. I
talk to them everyday. I try to think they are in heaven, but they would
hate me so much. I don't blame them. I wish I could turn back time.
Thank you for
doing this for babies sake.

Dear
Sir/Madam,
I just wanted to write to you to thank you for saving a life. For
helping me to save a life. I am a 22 year old woman. I already
have 1 son from a previous relationship. He is 2 years old. His
dad left before he even turned 1. We had been together 4 years and it
was hard to say the least.
I have just discovered that I am pregnant again. To my boyfriend of
only 9 months. My immediate reaction was that I don't want it. I
was on contraception. We weren't trying for a baby. We are not a
match made in Heaven. I didn't want to have an abortion. I live
in Ireland so it's
actually illegal. I would have to travel to England. But the abortion pill
did cross my mind. After viewing your website I realise I wasn't
thinking properly. How could I do that to my unborn child? I
look at my 2 year old son and ask myself, "What if I'd done that to you?".
It doesn't bare thinking about.
Yes, I am going to have a hard time telling my mother. Yes, I am going
to be judged. And yes, if my partner leaves me it is going to be hard.
But I will do it, comforted by the fact that I done the right thing.
My baby is a gift from God. A little miracle. Thank you for
helping me to realise that.
Regards,
Anonymous, 22, Ireland
Thank you for a
truly wonderful letter! Yes,
this is a gift from God, and we guarantee that all of the people in your
life who object now'will truly see this in a short time.
Best of luck with your pregnancy, and please send a picture along
after delivery.

It was just my
son, Ethan and I in his own little room, in our own little world. We
rocked. I sang. He smiled. I know the songs. I sang them sixteen years
ago for my lovely, daughter, Laura and before that to her three brothers,
Jesse, Robby and Skyler.
We rocked -
Ethan and I, back and forth and higher and higher my spirit soared until it
met up with a restless memory that jolted me back to reality. Then,
suddenly, like a summer storm on the ocean the tears came, and so severely
that I held on to Ethan as if he were my life preserver. There was
little I could do but hold on and ride out the currents of regret and waves
of sorrow and shame.
I never know when the storm will (hit) but it
seems to stir during the sunniest moments I share with my children. My
heart warms and is so stretched with love for them that it easily rips, then
the cold, familiar ache seeps in and swells. His silence is the
thunder and his absence like a whirlpool pulling me in to despair. My
first child.
He's gone.
Perhaps it was a she. I never knew. I never sang to him or saw her
smile. I never held him or comforted her in the night. I let
them take her. Violently. Heartlessly. Indifferent,
insensible people ripped my child from me in the middle of an April day in a
vague, sterile room. I don't know what they did with her. I
don't want to know. I went home. I left her there and I went
home. I believed I left the memory of him in
that room, but, although I didn't recognize it, it visited me often.
When my children celebrated birthdays there always seemed to be something
missing or someone I forgot to invite. After kissing my children
goodnight I didn't want to leave their rooms. In my nightmares I
secretly buried a faceless, lifeless, little body in my garden and was so
afraid that someone was going to find out. I remember waking up
confused and frightened and wondering why I would dream such a thing.
Thirteen years
after that April afternoon God woke me up -- gently but justly to the
reality of what I had done. It was time. He showed me by His
Spirit and not without mercy the sin I had committed against Him. I
attempted to plead innocent due to my youth and ignorance, but it was no
excuse. I tried to blame my mother, the father of my child, my doctor,
the abortionists....but His Truth manifested and I was held accountable.
My eyes were
finally opened and I confessed my sin. I forgave all those who took part in
the atrocity and though I repented, my grief was so deep and my soul so weak
that it took time to reach up and receive His forgiveness.
Ethan is his
own person and yet at times an echo of my child of 25 years ago, but more
than that, a miraculous reminder of God's forgiveness. The wound is
healed but the scar remains. The nightmares have ceased, yet the storms
continue to come. If David is right, there will be a final storm and
through the last mortal tears I weep, my child will come to me like a
rainbow. I believe that then I'll sing again and hope my child smiles.
***Ethan is six years old now.
Tomorrow I'm
going to speak to the youth at my church about my experience and found this
site as I was looking for literature. After reading much of your
information and testimonies I've I find myself once again grieving for my
child. This year he/she would have been 31 years old.

3/6/09 I am a 23year old international
student in a foreign country. Last summer I fell in-love with my old high
school mate. We are planning our long time future together. After less than
2 months together, I missed my period for 2 days I decided to get a
pregnancy test. It came out positive. My boyfriend was 2000miles away from
me and I only had his best friend to help get me my pregnancy test. There
was no doubt I couldn't keep the baby because my mom is a strict catholic
and hates my boyfriend and because my boyfriend just graduated and is in the
process of finding a job. I visited the nurse on Monday, and she confirmed
that I was 5 week pregnant. Me and my boyfriend had decided before I left
that if I was to ever fall pregnant, there is no question that I would have
to undergo abortion. Although we had unprotected sex, we did use the morning
after pill which obviously did not happen.
My boyfriend arranged my abortion since I didn't have the strength to do
it myself. My best friend was supportive about the abortion since she had
one herself. At the last minute, one of my other friends decided not to loan
me the money because she says that god would judge her. I think although
killing my baby is against god's rule, but throughout my time being
pregnant, he helped me in a different way.
I had to take a cab to the clinic myself and the staff of the clinic were
pretty supportive and kind. They took care of me throughout the procedure
and after. My boyfriend's best friend, picked me up later from the clinic. I
still have to pick up the pieces and pray that god would forgive me in due
time.
Although it has been only 2 days since the abortion, the pain is still
raw. My boyfriend feels the pain also. My baby would be due on the 5th of
November 2009 if i did not abort it.
No matter what happened, we believe that our baby is blessed and it was
the right thing that happened in the wrong time.
RIP J. Ethan
Loe
Loe, nothing can be done at this point, but you
have already begun to heal and help others by sharing your experience.
Please continue to let others know about the pain you are going through, and
perhaps your story can help to save some lives.

I
get so mad whenever I see people blatantly going out and saying that the
child growing in a woman is not human until it is born. I'm 14, and right
now in school we have to do a speech on something. I chose to do my speech
on abortion. I've always felt strongly about being against abortion, but I
had never known the details until recently. When I found your web-site I was
like "Yes! Finally, a site with facts!" Lots of facts. I read all the
methods for an abortion that are on this site, and I felt sick for days. I
don't normally feel ill when I read about something totally and completely
disgusting, but, reading about murder -the murder of unborn innocents-,
something that is legal
I just got so upset and sickened. If killing innocent children before they
are born isn't murder, then all those people in jail for killing someone out
of the womb shouldn't be in jail.
I
know that there are many women who feel that an abortion is the only way.
The only way to save their rep. The only way to save a relationship. The
only way to live a "normal" life. Or maybe someone forced them into an
abortion. A boyfriend, a parent, a "friend". If the women who got an
abortion out of free-will just stopped and thought for a moment... Just one
second, what they were doing, the pain they would eventually feel, the pain
someone else would feel because of their choice.. So much could have been
different. Maybe the barren woman would have had a child to adopt. Maybe the
original mother would fall in love with her child and wonder how she could
have wanted to part with him/her. Maybe the aborted woman would not have
breast cancer in the future. Maybe she would not die of abortion
complications. (That is unlikely, but still possible) Maybe she wouldn't
fall into depression, abuse substances, become violent, have future
miscarriages... So much could be different. If they had thought. For a
second. One second is all it takes.
I
know that a lot of people don't listen to teenagers. After all, we are
teenagers. What could a teen know about abortion? What could someone who has
never had an abortion in her life know about that subject? Not a lot I
guess. I will never know the pain an abortion can bring. I will never know
what it is like to be pressured to have an abortion. I can only tell you
what I, as a teenager, think about abortion. What I feel about abortion. I
hate abortion. I hate the prospect of it. I hate the FOCA (Freedom of Choice
Act.... {some choice it is}) and the fact that it might actually be
legalized. I hate the fact that so many people just walk away. Ignore it.
Don't think that abortions have anything to do with them. That the death of
millions of innocents has nothing to do with them. Those that choose to stay
neutral during the vote.. If only they realized that just one NO to the FOCA
could make a difference. I wish no one had ever invented abortion, but
what's done is done. I can't vote yet, but I can choose to go against
abortion. I can choose to save an innocent child's life.
I
want to cry whenever I remember I'm too young to vote against the FOCA. But
I know that I will fight for abortion to be illegal. I WILL continue to make
it clear that abortion is wrong. Whether you believe that the child that
grew/is growing in (gf-sis-mom)/ is
growing is not alive, I do.
Many people do. Abortion kills.
I
am pro-life, and doing my speech on abortion has further cemented my belief.
Abortion is wrong. No candy coated "Oh it's not living until it can support
itself on its own" crap can change that fact. Abortion
is wrong. Get over it.
I
don't mean to be mean. I just hate the idea of anyone wanting to kill their
child. It hurts just thinking about it.

Thank you for your site and all the information you have regarding abortions
(murdering). I was researching your site for information to help my 21 year
old daughter and after reading numerous letters on your site, I realized I
have a story that I can share with everyone including my daughter. When I
was 17, I was very dumb about a lot of things. I knew I didn't not want to
be with my then boyfriend for a long time. I was just playing around with
him and having sex until I graduated from High School and then I was going
to be off to UCLA. The University of my dreams. Well, I finally ended up
pregnant. We had played with fire so long, my boyfriend didn't think I could
get pregnant. I was scared to death. My dreams were being dashed before
they started. I could always go to college with a child, but I could never
live in the dormartories with a baby. All my thoughts were about myself,
not my beautiful unborn child. My boyfriend and I broke up just before I
found out I was pregnant. So I was alone. I went to a clinic to schedule an
abortion and I remember seeing a brochure out the corner of my eyes and I
told myself don't look at because they are going to try and scare me to not
have the abortion. Well, I looked anyway. And they described the procedure
of the abortion. I remember reading about the vacuum and how it has to
dismember the baby in order to suck it out. This is murder. There is no
other way to describe it. I decided I couldn't kill my baby, even though
there were people that allowed me to have that option, I just started seeing
how God was going to help me carry and provide for my baby. I knew I had to
face shame and embarrassment. I had told my grandmother I would never be an
unwed teen mother, but that is what I became. God was working everything out
as he always will. My boyfriend and I got back together and married then I
gave birth to my lovely daughter. To walk in the hospital as one person and
come out as two, was a sheer miracle! God had allowed me to participate in
one of his modern day miracles! When people saw my baby, they would say, "
You have a big pretty baby". She was 9lbs and 3 oz. She had and still has
the most beautiful smile! She is now 23 yrs old, about to graduate from
college and does poetry across the United States. Her words of encouragement
and enlightment encourages people everywhere. And I know God is not through
with her yet. There were hard times in her teenage years, but between the
joy she has given me now and the job God has for her to do, I don't see how
I could have ever thought about killing my child. Ladies, sometimes we find
ourselves in situations that seem unbearable, unbelievable, undoable,
impossible, but take heart Ladies, you can do it. You have been hand picked
to be the bearer of a modern day miracle on this earth. There are lots of
help aids out there in this world. Seek out the help. Where there is a
will, there is a way! I actually have four beautiful daughters now.
Unfortunately, one of other daughters did have an abortion with my first
grandchild. That tore me, my husband and her babysister up. We were on our
knees praying for my pregnant daughter and the unborn baby. My daughter had
the abortion. I can't imagine what my daughter must have went through, but I
know it hurt me to my core. The baby was going to be my first grandchild
and I was getting so excited with grandmother duties, and then I found out
there was no more baby. It's then I realize abortion affects everyone, not
just the mother, but everyone. My daughter is pregnant again and we are
pleading with her to not kill this one and that is why I am writing, to
encourage her and everyone else to not kill their children. God will make a
way!

Horrific story that I have to live with every day of my life. In l969
abortions were not legal. I found myself all alone. The boy who was the
father, was whisked away by his mother and hid from me, not his decision,
but his Moms. My Mother flew in from Florida and told me I had two
choices. #1//Have the baby and they would never speak to me again, or #2 go
back to Florida with her and they would take care of it. They had found a
Doctor who would do the abortion. After meeting with him and having an
internal exam, he found that I was three months along. My parents had to
take me to Miami Airport where he would pick me up, they had to pay $2500.00
and upon my return another $2500.00. He promised to have me back in one
hour, or they could call the police. So I was whisked off to his home where
a nurse was waiting. I was taken into a back bedroom, where he cleared off
his dresser and a garbage can placed at the bottom of the dresser. I
remember a shot given to me and next think waking up to him slapping me
across the face to wake me Blood was flowing every where. with him
yelling at me back to the airport in time. My parents then paid him the
balance and away we went. I was in horrific pain. I was rushed to the
emergency room where I was told 1/2 of the fetus was still in me. I was
rushed to surgery and was never the same. When I was married five years I
had an atopic pregnancy and lost my appendix, half my intestine, right tube
and ovary. It was an ordeal that no one should ever have to endure. Two
years later on the front of the Miami Herald stating he was not or, but an
immigrant from Jamaica. I fell into a deep depressant and was in therapy
for over two years. My parents never forgave themselves, they only thought
they were saving me from a life time of misery. I never blamed them. and
yet if abortions had been legal I would have never gone through a life time
of suffering. I am still for abortion, only if it was done by a real
doctor. Please prayer for me..........I would never want any woman to go
through what I did.........Abortion should be legalized.
Abortion IS
legal. Unfortunately, you were a victim of selfish, uncaring parents more
than an illegitimate 'doctor.' Had your parents not been worried about
tarnishing their reputation, you could have had your child, given her/him up
for adoption, and went on to lead a normal life without medical
complications. Instead, one dead, one injured.
AbortionTV
PS More than 90%
of all abortions prior to legalization were performed by legitimate doctors. |

I have
had 2 abortions in my life, both around 15 years ago. Never has my choice
ever bothered me. I knew that at that time in my life, that I did not want
to procede with a pregnancy. As far as me "killing" a "living" being, I
don't agree. In my definition of living....I list one of the attritubutes
of being a living being as breathing air (of which my fetuses could not do)
A living being would have the ability to sustain itself, outside my womb.
These fetuses did not posess that ability. I did nothing more than have
some unwanted tissue removed, much like having a tumor removed. I fully
support a woman's right to choose, as long as her choice is made and
completed within the first trimester. I have 3 children that are the light
of my life, I would lay down my life at any time for them. 2 of them are
grown and aware of my decision of abortions. Neither have ever held my
decision against me. I do not now, nor have I ever regretted my choice to
abort. I also am more than happy that my children are very intelligent and
educated young people who know to trust their instincts and not waste their
lives regretting decisions that they have make in the past, that mean
nothing now. I support a woman who choices to procede with her pregnancy,
as well as a woman who decides the opposite. Women need to realize that
decisions that they make, are not to be regretted and mulled over and over
again.....but yet, accepted and even celebrated as part of being strong in
will and mind. Thank you for letting ME share my story.

As I'm sitting here writing
this, I can only hope my experience will be a lesson for young women
contemplating abortion. I'm a healthy 42-year-old mother of 6. I had an
abortion at 25, seventeen weeks into gestation of my son, Jacob Matthew.
Through the years, I've read and researched many articles and studies
relating a link between abortion and breast cancer. I believe it. Now, I'm
living it.
Last month, I went for a
normal mammogram. I was called back a few days later for suspicious
microcacifications in the left breast. A biopsy was done on December 2nd.
The results are back and the diagnosis is clear; Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia
bordering Ductal Carcinoma in Situ. When I got the diagnoses from my
physician, I threw up, screamed, and cried. Immediately, I thought about my
abortion and all the studies I've read. The memory of my son has been with
me these last few days. I have missed him every day since the day I aided
the abortionist in taking his life. (Jacob is with Jesus. Praise Him for
that blessing!)
So, here I am. I'm still
quite young (from this standpoint there's a long way to go) and have
beautiful children (I'm an adoptive mom). I cannot help but feel my
abortion contributed to this. The "issue" is in a milk duct, which is
exactly what studies have stated due to the immaturity and inability of
cells to mature following abortion. So, for those considering abortion, it
may be a decision that "relieves" a temporary problem now. But, many years
from now when you are situated in life and going along happily, I believe it
may revisit in a way no one should have to deal with.
To those who know me at
AbortionTV, I ask you prayer for me, my family, and my sisters dealing with
this issue. I hope my case will sway someone to choose life.

Twenty
nine weeks ago, a little over seven months ago, I had unprotected sex. I
knew within two days I was pregnant and told the father I felt different. It
would be three weeks later that the first pregnancy test showed positive. I
was sure that I was going to have an abortion, I hardly knew the father, I
didn't have a steady job, instead I worked as a stripper and knew being
pregnant would end all source of income on that end. I went to the abortion
clinic, where I had recieved the pill five months earlier to terminate and
four week old pregnancy when my boyfriend left me after he wanted me to get
pregnant. I was out of control and out of touch. I was only focused on
myself and the imediate future. I didn not want any responsibility to anyone
or to myself. I think that was the foundation for the first abortion. I
took the pill, had some minor cramps and bleeding and felt relived that it
was over and not so bad.
This time, I waited a few more weeks trying to decide what to do. My heart
wanted this baby. I wanted this baby. I just couldn't see raising a baby. I
couldn't see how others would react to me being pregnant. I knew my firnds
would be shocked, I knew I would have to get a real job, lose my car, lose
my clothes, lose my party lifestyle of going out and getting high and drunk
and listening to music. I knew everything would change. And I was very very
afraid. The only thing that seemed to comfort me was knowing that I had my
baby inside of me. It also brought me alot of stress. It is a weird
contradiction. You feel the flutters of it and yet you know you don't forsee
yourself being a mother, getting big, and giving up your freedom. It seems
really overwhelming all at once.
I went in to get an abortion at 7 weeks. They showed me the ultrasound.
Nothing but a small ball of blur, no movement. They talked of products of
conception and the baby being no bigger than a dot at the end of a
sentence. I wasn't ready to end its life just yet, I wanted to be sure I
was making the right decision. I wiated two and a half more weeks. Every day
I changed my mind, at times I really wnted the baby, other times I really
wanted to get it over with. I made two more appointments at the abortion
clinic and missed both. I just could not think of them going in and
suctioning me out, my baby, my life, my creation, my responsibility. I went
in to a prental clinic, I wanted a second opinion, I wanted them to give me
hope and an option. I wanted to pretend for one second I was going to have
this baby and try to see how I could make it work. They showed me the
ultrasound at 10 1/2 weeks. I saw her hand waving , her sucking her thumb,
her bouncing from one side of me to the other. Even though I couldn't feel
her, and I didn't look pregnant. I saw five fingers waving, at ten weeks.
Two weeks earlier at the abortion clinic, I saw nothing, when I called back
the abortion clinic to ask them why the ultrasound seemed so diffferent from
those two weeks. They interestingly told me, that those machines were old
and were only legal to be used in the abortion clinic to measure pregnancy
not as an actual ultrasound and they could not be considered as such becuase
the technolochy of the machines and the law prevented them from using it as
an ultrasound machine in a viable pregnancy. So basically, they will use
those machines on unwanted babies becuase those machines are outdated,
blurry and not detailed. I asked them, so if I wanted to pay you for
another ultrasound photograph to decide if I wanted to keep the baby and see
how it looked could I? They said, no, we only do the ultrasounds on
unwanted pregnancies, if you are considering having the baby we are not
legally able to use those machines, and the technician cannot preform the
ultraound.
HHHmm, I began to see a bigger picture of what was going on. I
decided to make it work and I found a way to make it work. It is scary, it
is hard, but now I see how beuatiful my girl is and how fast she has grown,
and nothing can take that away from me. I am excited to see her, and I love
getting ready to bring her home. I found a regular job, I saved money, I
got the father to help pay for the doctor and some of the bills. I told my
family and they were happy, not mad. I have her crib waiting and her clothes
waiting. I also have the first ultrasound from the abortion clinic, in the
same little book as the ones showing her growing , her hair and her smile.
it is possible to make it work, and everything comes step by step. it is
overwhelming to think of everything changing when I first found out. But
everything changes slowly. You get use to your body growing, you get use to
making less money and saving more. You do not get use to feeling her kick
and seeing her elbow and legs moving on your stomach. You don't get use to
her reacting to your voice and seeing her develop.
It is very scary but the joy outweighs the fear, and once you
conquer the fear, you can be joyful. You should not make any decision out
of fear, becuase then fear controls your life and it is pure misery. Make
your choices out of being strong, and you will get the rewards.

Hi. I
am an 18 year guy that fell in love. Emilee and I started dating on
Chirstmas Eve in 7th grade. I had just turned 13. she was 12. we went to all
of the dances and parties as a couple. All of the other kids wanted to be
like us. Flash forward to our 3 three anniversay. I was 16... she was
15..almost 16... On Sunday, December 24, 2006, We had sex for the first
time. That day changed our lives forever.
Then
the day after her 16th birthday party, January 13, she told me the two words
i never wanted to hear...
Im pregnant.
We knew we loved each other and thought our parents would help us raise the
baby. But that wasnt the case. We told all 4 of them together. they told us
to go upstairs. we thought that they were talking about where we would
live..
That
wasnt the case, They told us that they
had came to the decision that we were going to have an abortion.
we got in a huge fight.. but sadly... by the end of the night, Emilee and I
gave in to our parents. On February 12, 2007, Emilee, 7 weeks pregnant, me,
and our parents killed our baby.
Emilee
moved to her aunts house in California in March... she needed a break.
During this time, I started to hate my parents for what they did to us.
When
Emilee moved home in June, she was still mourning our baby. She said that
she regretted that decision everyday. I felt the same way. Even though at
the time we were angry and heartbroken... we knew we needed each other. So
we got back together, and when we both had turned 17, we moved in together.
Now,
here we are, I turned 18 on the 4th.
Emilee is again pregnant with a little girl. She is 5-and-a-half
months pregnant. We both are graduating at semester to start our family....
We are not on speaking terms with our parents. THey know we are pregnant and
have made the decision to stay away from us. We are getting married on
Valentines day of 2009. And Aleigha
Kate is due March 4, 2009.
It has
been almost two years since we made the biggest mistake of listening to our
parents. Not a day goes by that my fiance and I dont think of the child that
we killed... our child. We havent decided if we are going to tell Aleigha
about what we did yet. But we are going to love this girl... and
never will we let her make the same
mistakes as we have.
We
also mourn our relationships we had with our parents. We loved them so much.
We trusted them. They broke that trust. They arent all to blame though...
We made the
ultimate decision to do what we did. Some people
that know our story criticize us for starting our family so young. We dont
care what anyone else thinks.
We are doing
everything to save this family that we are building.

I had
an abortion this past spring. My baby would be a few weeks old if I had of
had the strength to stand up to social pressures and just give it a chance
at life and love. I know some people looking to this website are either
considering abortion or trying to understand it, I really hope you don't
walk away thinking everything you're reading is correct. I hope you
seriously take some time to yourself to let it all sink in, without the
pressure, without the drugs that the hospital gives you and just figure out
what is good for you? And how a life with a baby is possible. My sister had
a teenage pregnancy and we live in a lower middle class family. She was left
alone by her partner, and I can honestly say that with hard work and loving
family/friends she was able to finish school and college and begin her own
business within 9 years...I am very proud and almost envious of her...I love
her and my niece.
I
however, wasn't able to process everything. I made a serious connection with
the baby, I even promised I would love it even if its father did it approve
of its being. I am an educated woman with no real work opportunities; in
fact, I am not finished school yet. Living at home with my family was a
major reason, that and my then boyfriend was a teacher in a catholic school
system. I seriously regretted my abortion. It causes me to be depressed and
change as a person all together. I stopped hanging around my friends or
anymore who tried to make me feel good or happy, because I didn't think I
deserved the attention or love. I never visit my family and it's usually
short visits...I have increased my alcohol intake significantly...I would
rather be living happily at home with parents with my baby, than being
someone who is living at home unhappily, with a drinking problem not to
mention mood swings and depression. I have serious anxiety issues now too. I
wake up crying and end up messing opportunities up with work or social
functions...I have serious sleep issues and I try to shake it off and smile
and act like I'm okay, but I'm really not.
Please, if you can raise the baby you are carrying, just do it or at least
think about it. If you can live with it, then go ahead....I thought I could
live with it then 6 months later I am still severely upset and cry. You
can't escape the reminders of life, someone is going to show you a picture
of their ultrasound at some point and what can you say? awwwwwww how cute, I
killed something that look just like that picture you are smiling
at.....seriously....it's rough, unpleasant and you like I said, you cant
escape life, it's all around you and it will remind you.
I was
at a funeral for a baby 2 weeks before I terminated my baby's life....that
attributed to my pain on many levels....I still talk to my baby, I thought
it was a girl, but I will never know. She / he is in the hands of my loved
ones who went before me on the other side...they are with her soul and I
know she forgives me and will come again when and if I am blessed with life
inside me again, she will enter my body and I will give her the best life
that I can, I long to feel her again, to feel her love and the
connection....
if you
are a boyfriend reading this....offer love and only love and
support....don't even mention doubt into your g/f, wife or friends
ear...it's wrongful and causing a lot of problems on top of the hormones. If
it's right she will know...but if she has time to think about it, I know she
will make the right choice....men become fathers and fall in love with their
child when they see it, women do when they feel it.
If you
won't love it, then simply let someone else love it. but don't leave her,
support her as a friend, if anything.
I
hope this helps anyone out

Although I do agree that abortion is not the answer and that it is a moral
wrong, AND I do accept that the world is getting less 'populated', we still
have a huge problem with the population issue. Why? Because, since this
earth is a place of limits, where everything (that would include all manner
of resources) in it dies and ends, at some point or another, then we still
have the problem that we SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES TO ACCOMMODATE
THE SIZE OF our Worlds' population WHILE decreasing TO your QUOTED 2.3
BILLION BY 2300. That is the problem!! If you can give me a cognizant and
intelligent answer that tackles this, am interested.
Regards
Anon
We
think that all of the misconceptions outlined in your letter can be
explained in our section on overpopulation myths.

I'm 15
years old. Two years ago, in August 2006, I made the bad decision of having
unprotected sex with a guy on holiday who was about 15 or 16. I knew his
name at the time but I honestly can't remember it now. Although I was only
13, it was my third time - I had lost my virginity two months before, and
since then had sex once more with the guy I lost my virginity with. This was
the first time unprotected though. When I returned from holiday, things were
normal. I started my new year at school. Two weeks after though, a thought
crossed my mind. What if I was pregnant? I had no reason to think this yet,
as my period wasn't due yet, but I couldn't rest once the thought had
entered my head so I bought two pregnancy tests. You cannot imagine the
shock I recieved when that line appeared blue. After I calmed down, I went
on your website as I thought I would have an abortion for definite. My mom
caught me on it, and I lied that it was for Religious Education in school (I
go to a Catholic school). Despite the disgust when I seen the pictures, I
wasn't to be deterred, and I made an appointment at the nearest clinic,
which was quite far away as I live in a rural area. Two days later I was
sitting there after getting money from my trust fund which my parents don't
check. The waiting room was like a living room as the clinic was an old
house, and there was just me, another woman who looked about in her
twenties, and her boyfriend. She went in, came out and said 'everythings
fine' to her boyfriend, so I assume she went through with it. As soon as I
sat in the chair, I jumped up after the reality hit me and I told them I had
to get out there. When I was back home I chided myself for what I felt was
weakness on my part - now what was I to do? I wanted to advertise on an
adoption agency, but you had to be at least 12 weeks pregnant to do so - I
was barely 3 weeks gone. So until then I continued at school. I never told a
soul. When I was 3 months, I got on that adoption website, and days later
got a reply. A couple were interested. After interviewing them, I decided
they were nice enough. They were in their forties, both teachers, quite
well-off, and were unable to have children. In bed that night, I cried
myself to sleep. I decided I couldn't do this. I made another appointment at
the clinic, determined this time to have the abortion. But before I even got
the chance to go, I phoned and cancelled. I knew I had to go through with my
pregnancy. By the time I was 4 months, I had agreed with that same couple to
give them my baby. At my scan, I asked if they wanted to know the gender of
the baby. They did, and I found out I was having a boy. I turned 14 when I
was 5 months pregnant, in January 2007. Bear in mind I still hadn't told my
mum, only my best friend who I would trust with my life. When I was 6 months
pregnant, I made the decision to tell my mother. I did, and although she was
shocked, she supported what I was doing. On May 23rd 2007, I gave birth to
my healthy baby boy, 5 days earlier than my due date. He went straight to
live with his new parents. I visited him once 2 months later, and the last
time I seen him was when he was 5 months old. I got a boyfriend, a good one,
passed my exams, and things have been going well. My son, called Nate, is
now 15 months old. I always think about him every day. However, I've moved
on in life. I just want to tell all the women out there considering an
abortion that adoption is an okay choice to make. It doesn't make you a bad
person. But even I am aware that if I did get pregnant again right now, I
would still consider an abortion this time round, despite my previous
feelings. My dad does not know to this day, and neither do most of my
friends. I once went back on holiday to that place where it all began, and I
bumped into some of the father's friends. If only he knew he was a dad.

hi, my
opinion about abortions is not a good one. i think more should be done to
educate women about abortion and the fetal developement before an abortion
is an available option. when i looked at the pictures of the aborted babies
i cried for them and i prayed for them and the babies that will soon be
joining them. i thank GOD that i never dont anything like that. for the
women who have.... or should i say the women who have been pushed into
it.... i feel terrible for you and i will be praying for you. i do think it
is an irresponsible thing to do, especially concidering the people who would
love and care wonderfully for a child but are unable to have one, but people
make mistakes in life and are also very misinformed about abortions. if
everyone who is against abortions would come, together we could do a few
things to help prevent as many babies being murdered everyday. for
instance... if we all got together and made the government come up with a
law stating that a woman, regardless of age, would have to go to specialized
counseling and be properly informed of what she is doing when getting an
abortion and shown how post-abortion women felt after the procedure and
shown exactly how it is done, the babys stage of development (other than
them saying you are so many weeks, tell them it has a heartbeat,
fingernails, nerve endings that feel pain) and inform the woman of
different options that do not involve the murder of an inocent child,..... i
think it would greatly reduce the number of abortions, at least in the
united states. i also think there should be a law that states that a woman
cannot abort a child after 20 weeks of gestation. at 20 weeks a child can
still be born and live. a person is sent to prison for murdering a baby but
it is ok for the mother and the doctor to deliver it and drown it, stab it
in the back of the head with scissors, and other horrid ways, it think they
should go to prison as well. i also think that after a woman has 2 abortion
that are not medically required that they should be required to have thier
tubes tied to prevent them from destroying more innocent lives. for
the women out there that had to end thier childs life due to medical
problems, i am deeply sorry for your loss and will be praying for you also.
for a child is a blessing from the lord. i know people feel differently
about many things, this is how i feel. as far as getting something started
to confront the government..... i dont know how to. im only 23. but if
there is someone out there who knows how... think of what i have said.
outlawing abortions is not going to happen, preventing as many abortions is
very possible. if you would like to contact me on the issue my email is
jonathongosnell@yahoo.com. thanks for reading my opinion and may God
bless you.

For
one thing this site shouldn't even allow 12 year olds on here. First of all
do 12 year old girls have an abortion when they are 12?.. no I don't think
so. Also this is so so wrong to destroy a life like this and also please
change the age because this will scare and scar them for ever . I don't care
if you don't care it's my own concern, please consider it.
Cori C.
There
is a simple reason why AbortionTV has this particular age warning: It
is because some girls are able to bear children as early as 12--and
unfortunately, sexual activity seems to begin at an earlier age each year.

I
got pregnant when I was 16 years. I was scared, sad, worried and unsure
how my life would be if I had a child at such a young age. I was scared of
how my family would react, sad that I would not be able to live a normal
teenage life, worried about how I would be able to support my child and
unsure if I would be a good mother. Abortion was not an option of mine to
take care of the situation. I finally got the nerve to let my family
know. Everyone was upset and there were lots of tears. I stood my ground
and the first thing I told them was "I will not get an abortion." At that
age, I didn't know very much about abortion, but I knew I was against it. I
had alot of people (not just family) telling me that it was just
tissue. It just went through one ear and out the other. I do not believe
in killing a child, just because I was being irresponsible and not using
protection. If I had killed my son, I would have killed a part of myself. I
do not believe that it should be our *CHOICE* to decide who should live or
die. I do believe that if you get pregnant, God put that child there for a
reason. My son saved my life. I was going down a wrong path and
always doing stupid stuff. There is enough evil in this world that we
can't control, but we can control this.
I have read some statements regarding animal abuse,
torture, slaughtering, etc.... and comparing it to this. I am 100% against
both. We can't control all the other countries, but we can control this
one. I would never compare a human life, much less a childs to an animal.
I do not think just because such evil is being brought upon these
poor animals that it's ok to bring evil to a child including one that is
unborn. It is still a child and we have the means to end it. It has a
heartbeat just like you and I, just after a few weeks of conception. The
only difference is that childs heartbeat is pure. Not filled with evil or
hate. We hear about all of these crazy wackos that murder their babies
after they are born, but yet that is not ok. They go to prison, but all the
abortionists just get judgement from others. What makes a babies life more
valuable than the one not yet out of the womb? What makes yours and my life
more valuable, where we have already sinned and done evil, more valuable
than theirs? These children deserve to live more than we do.
I hear people saying, well, "The doctor says that I could die." Wouldn't
you give your life for your child already born? I know I would. My son
is my life! If your life ends, then that was apparently god's plan. I
have always heard, "Everytime a life ends, another is born"
My mom had a family friend who was married and unfortunately got raped.
She ended up preganant and her and her husband thought about abortion. They
decided not to because they weren't sure if it was gonna be his or the
rapist. Finally out popped a little mixed baby, which was not the fathers.
They kept that little boy and loved him and gave him a good life.
Regardless of what others would have probably thought of her carrying a
little baby with enough skin color to know that it was definitely not the
husbands. They loved him. They told him how he was concieved and he looked
at them letting them know how much more they were loved. Though he was
conceived through the acts of evil and the mother will always have that
memory, they gave him the chance to live and be loved.
I am now 22 years old. My life after my son has had it's ups and downs,
but I would not have changed it for anything. I missed out on alot of the
teenage life because I had to grow up and think about my child. I stayed in
school and got my diploma. I did a homeschooling program, where you receive
your work through mail and you get a real highschool diploma. It is through
Pennfoster.edu. You do have to pay for it, but they have excellent payment
plans. The number is 1-800-232-1243. (In case anybody else that is in the
situation) I waited to start my college when my son started Kindergarten
that way I could take care of him and be there for him. I never got to go
to prom, go on real dates, have senior skip day or have the life that I had
planned out for me. I gave it all up for the love of my life. And we are
both do wonderful. I had my own plan growing up and God had something
better in mind.
I do hope that people really think before they do something that is no
better then a serial killer, rapist. Hell even the Taliban. You have life
inside of you. It's a gift. And you have the chance to give something so
precious a chance at life and to be loved. There is no greater feeling. I
do hope that if you are not ready to be a parent, please use some type of
protection to prevent it from happening. Better not to have sex at all,
unless you are married, but I will not even critisize anyone for doing that,
when I myself have done the same. And always consider adoption. There are
people who would do anything to be able to have a child of there own. And
you could also have it set up to still be in the childs life if that is what
you want.
I do not care if people attack me for this letter. Because I know that
in my heart and many others, we might have to answer why we committed
adultery, but we will never be asked "Why did you kill". I stand ground on
everything that I say and believe in. And there will be alot of prayers for
all of you. We do have a choice. We are all loved in some way, why not
pass that love to the child who doesn't have the choice!

Dear Culture Of
Life,
I think it a
real tragedy that many that say they are for life do not speak up. I do not
understand how anyone, in my country, can sing, "God bless America," while
the American Holocaust (i.e., Abortion) advances.
On the home page
of this site, the numbers of abortions performed, increases. With each ever
increasing murder of persons in the womb, there are equally ever increasing
violent and murderous acts of persons out side of the womb. In my U.S.
culture, the value of life--the fact that people--all people (including
unborn persons) are created in God's image--is becoming a fading cultural
memory--even subject to ridicule!
In the Genesis
(the first book of the Jewish-Christian Bible) Persons, created in the image
of God are distinguished from animals, plants etc. The Creator God breathed
the breath of life into the first person--created in His image--and all the
persons following are a part of that initial image of God. That is
something to be proud of, in a good sense, for our Human dignity and self
respect are linked to the Creation account of the First Persons.
When we, as a
Culture, allow ungodly laws to go unchallenged, for in our system of
law--the laws as written are what is followed and enforced. In the infamous
"Roe" decision (1973) the re-definition of life not only violates God's
written revealed Word--it violates the spirit of our laws--that are based on
a the Jewish and Christian principles of right and wrong. "All men are
created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable
rights," reads our Declaration of
Independence. Our birth rights comes from God, pre-dates Human
Government, and cannot be taken away. When God's Word is violated--and, in
the same manner, our Nation's founding documents, not only does our Nation's
unborn suffer--our whole culture suffers! We are known the world over for
our founding principles of "life" and "liberty" but the whole world can see
our hypocrisy!
We need a
National Day of Repentance! We are society that murders our own! It must
be an insult to the Creator-God, when we sing "God bless America," and
continue to, like Herod in the Jewish-Christian New Testament--slaughter our
own!
Arguments for
life from science are good, but the evil hearts that support the abortion
industry--are based, not on science--(evidence-based proof of non-life), but
are based on sin.
Sin is total
rebellion against the revealed will of God. It is a continuion of our fallen
nature, when our first parents decided to rebell against God. We have a
National Sin--against the Creator-God, in the murder of the lives He has
placed in the womb.
Not until we
fall on our faces before God, and repent from this evil national heart
condition, will we have His blessing! We, as a Nation, will most likely rot
from within, or self implode like many great nations before us--that forgot
about God.
Abortion is not
our only National Sin, but it, like all other social evils--are symptoms of
an evil heart! When We, as a Nation, stop this crime against God--and
Humanity, then and only then, can we sing,"God bless America," without the
world laughing at our hypocrisy--with the curse of God in the form of
judgemnet--hanging over our heads!
My questions
are, how long will God allow us to destroy our selves--or will God, in His
mercy, do the honors Himself--perhaps let another Nation to destroy us--or
will we turn to Him?
I hope we return
to God, and, once again, can be a blessing to the world--instead of
continuing to be an immoral laughing stock to the world's community--and a
stench in God's nostrils.

I am a
young woman (20). I believe it is reasonable to state my opinion though
others might attack me for it. I don't believe in abortions. I believe this
site gives accurate information that might allow someone to be against
abortion. However there are more sites that have pro-choice information.
After stating this I feel I must tell you all something. When my sister was
12 or so my mother decided to tell her she wanted to abort her when she
found out she was pregnant. Years later she told me (youngest of three), "If
I wanted to abort jennifer, don't you think I definitely wanted to abort
you?" The only reason she didn't is because she was married to our father
and he did everything to convince her not to. Though some pro-choice women
may say "its bull, you can't tell us what to do because its our bodies!
We're the one carrying them, we're the one who has to suffer and we can't
live our lives freely!" or whatever you might say. Let me explain it to you
in a way that might make sense to you. When someone in your family is
murdered, wouldn't people attend the funeral saying "they were too young."?
If someone went and attempted to or succeeded in killing one of your
children, or even your parents, spouses or someone deeply close to you,
wouldn't you be angry? Life is not about what you want! It's about what god
wants. Some might say, sex is so hard to resist with all the media focusing
on sex. I'm sorry but I'm 20...I'VE RESISTED TILL NOW. If you don't want to
take the risk get birth control or don't have sex at all. All the immature
brats who think "It's my world to do what I please." Your WRONG! Abortion
is legal in some states with technicalities, but in my opinion it should
never be legal. There were times when abortions were done in backyard
clinics and women would get sick or die, or become sterile. That's where
abortions should stay! If your going to be stupid enough to spread your legs
for someone your not dedicated to, you should be forced to go to backyard
clinics. You deserve any ailment that you get. Babies are people too. They
have 10 fingers and 10 toes. IN MY OPINION, if you dumb women feel abortion
is imperative to your one night stands, its obvious which babies should have
been aborted when they were younger. These again are only my opinions, and I
don't care enough to drag on the debate. I do hope that God blesses you all
with the strength to understand what each act in your life does to you in
the long run. If you have sex be responsible for your actions, including
taking the necessary precautions. Birth Control, condoms, keep track of your
cycles if you have to.......but if you get pregnant, at least give your
child to someone who will love it and respect it.
Vanessa
Thank you,
Vanessa, for a great letter in support of Life, Family and God's Law. We
are to love our enemies and pray for those who wish us ill: MT 5:44: But I
say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
Not many
write here as you have done. Have a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and
may God bless you with
--
Peace, Matthew
P. S. I am Pro-Life-choice. Some choices are great, but Life is a GIFT and
the sine qua non of all our choices.
P. P. S. Your life, my life, all lives are gifts to you, me, each other and
well-lived to The Sine Qua Non. Amen.

I wanted to make
a comment about what you said about the abortion issue, that you did not
want to "drag on the debate."
Recently I
obtained a book and accompanying DVD on the slavery issue (Amazing
Grace). The persons involved became sick--and some had nervous
conditions and even premature deaths from the stress of the "debate" over
the slavery issue. Though set in the late 1700's, the issue still rages on,
as the issue of human slavery is still alive--and persons are still
enslaved. Though then and there in England--God's will was enacted by godly
people that were willing to sacrifice--to enact godly principles--from a
position of political power--even so, Statesman Wilberforce and Friends
appealed to the heart--and the slave trade ended.
Not all godly
activist--or culture warriors (members of The Culture Of Life) will do
battle from a position of power--but, indeed all culture warriors have
power--for all are armed with God's truth. Though we live in the world--we
are not "of this world," but each, in our sphere of influence, has a job to
do.
As it is with
the Gospel (God's answer to the sin question)--so it is with any
righteous issue, the debate rages on, for, as long as we breath, evil must
be challenged. The sin question, unanswered, is the root form which all
evils flow, be it slavery or abortion--anything else for that matter.
Yes, God must
first win the heart, and the culture will follow. Look at all the Revivals
of Religion--that changed [transformed] hearts--and changed culture! All
cultures have had their godly champions--not just the American Charles
Finney (1800's) or England's Wesley brothers (1900's)!
The weapons of
prayer--truth and the Word (Ephesians 5, New Testament)--are an unfair
advantage over the Culture Of Death, that has no evidence for their belief
system--or World-View. Sad it is that many Christians, not only have not
led any one to Christ, few have spoken on the abortion issue! God can bring
Revival--God can transform hearts--God can transform culture!
We are to give a
reason for what we believe--and why we believe it (1 Peter, 3:15, Christian
New Testament).
I urge you,
Vanessa, and all others visiting this site--in what ever capacity in
life--to join this good fight! With God's power, we can win it! With God's
power, abortion world wide--can end!
Until Jesus
Christ returns and set up His Theocratic Kingdom, there and then--we must
all join in, and continue the debate--for just as the powers of evil, here
and now, will not cease--we must not quit!
Though matters
may be settled in our minds--we are still responsible for our neighbors,
even if our neighbors are in the womb!

Rape
is a horrible and traumatic event in the life of any woman who has suffered
its indignity. It is the forcible act of sexual intercourse against the will
of the woman. Should she become pregnant, not only must she bear the memory
of the rape, but she also carries the child of the rapist. The question,
then, is whether or not a woman should abort the baby that is the result of
a rape? This is a very difficult question to answer. After all, it is a
highly emotional issue. Of course, I am a man and cannot possibly
relate nor understand what it would mean to be in the place of a woman whose
body has been invaded in such a way. I can only speak from what I know and
what I believe about the sanctity of life that is derived from God's word.
In my opinion, a baby that is a product of rape should not be killed. It is
not the fault of the baby that it has been brought into the world. Why
should the life of the baby be sacrificed because of the indignity suffered
against the woman? Yes, I know the rape is horrible and that it is wrong.
I know that the woman has the right of self-protection and emotional
security. But I also know that love is greater than all these things, and
few things on earth have greater love than a mother for her child.
I know that some will strongly object and say that my attitude is callous
and insensitive to the needs of the woman. Indeed, a woman impregnated
through rape has suffered greatly, and bearing the child would certainly be
a reminder of the horrible incident. The "father" would not support the
child and the mother would be left to raise the child on her own. Without a
doubt, the woman gets the raw end of the deal.
It is only natural, then, for a woman to want to protect herself physically,
emotionally, and financially by removing from her very body that which has
invaded her through rape. I cannot blame a woman for desiring to justify an
abortion intellectually and emotionally in this case. But still, in spite of
the great indignity against the woman, and in spite of the emotional and
financial hardship she would bear in the future, must the child be required
to pay for the sin of the rapist? Is it right to kill the child who is not
at fault? Is it right to take the life of someone who has done nothing
wrong? In civilized nations, protection of the innocent is a primary
concern. In the hearts of mothers, love should win out. Love that
sacrifices and gives life, instead of taking it, should be the goal. Just
as Jesus loved us and sacrificed Himself for us so that we might have life,
so too should the mother give life to the child. Is it fair? No. Neither
was it fair for Jesus to die for us, but He did it anyway. He showed us
what true love really is.
But for those who place no credence in God's word nor the sacrifice of
Christ, it all comes down to the persons' values. If a woman considers the
life in her womb to have human nature, even though it is the product of
rape, then she will be more likely to spare its life. However, if she
considers what is alive in her to be nothing more than an invasive parasite,
then killing it would be easier to do.
In today's world, sterile medical terms are used to describe the life
growing in the womb, thus making it easier to detach oneself emotionally.
"Embryo" and "fetus" are clinical words that do not carry emotional baggage.
Terms like "baby" and "child," however, do. Which words do you use?
How can anyone not realize that what is alive in the womb is human in
nature? How can anyone so easily dismiss its life?
That is easy for
you to say
Of
course, while sitting here in the comfort of my office, it is easy for me to
urge women to keep the babies who are the product of rape. After all, I
don't have to carry the child, suffer the emotional trauma, or bear the
financial burden. This is true. The closest I can come to experiencing
their situation is to try and imagine what I would do if my wife were raped
and impregnated. Years ago, I decided that if it happened, I would want to
raise the child as my own. I dearly love children and could never simply
want to get rid of it. My wife feels the same way.
Jesus showed me His great love by sacrificing His life for me, a sinner. I
deserve to be judged harshly by Him, yet He is gracious and kind. So too, I
must be gracious and kind in response. Therefore, I would keep any child
given to me and raise him or her as my own, with all my love and
dedication....by God's grace.

I find your use
of the word "faith" within the context of abortion, fascinating, yet, at the
same time, troubling.
Since Darwin's
"science," mid 1860's, that is supposed to be the death of God, and the
final solution to the Christian question, there has been a religious void .
. . and to fill that "gap"--all kinds of religiosity has seeped in. I see
the resurgence of ancient female worship and fertility cults--in the book
and movie The Divinci Code--to the earth worship behind the Environmental
Movement, in my U.S. culture. Darwin spoke of origins, that was, is and
ever will be beyond the realm of true science--because his "guess," cannot
be tested by any measuring device by humans--his "guess" went beyond the
limits of time and space. Interesting, an ancient earth worship
(naturalistic) religion--is now Fundamental (naturalistic) Atheism--called
"Science." Psalms 14:1, Jewish-Chirstian Old Testament, says "The fool hath
said in his heart, there is no God."
In order to
properly worship and make a god out of human reason--one must take a blind
leap of "faith," since there is no evidence-based reason in mere human
assumptions. God was there, He created--and man, the creature, was not
there. To speak about matters of origin--to include the definition of
life--takes such "faith," that you, RW and others like you, must exercise.
In the Jewish-Christian Old Testament, God asked Job, "Where were you when I
laid the foundation of the world?"--where you there, Job? A rhetorical
question (something to think on, that has an obvious answer.) to Job--and to
the modern Darwin religiosity. Sometimes God has to use the absurd to
demonstrate the absurd--it is painfully obvious, no human was there!
You speak of
human emotions--yet you take a non-biblical based "faith" and dehumanize
your gift from God--and you take a blind leap of "faith," of self worship
and human reason--that you made the right "choice" to abort. That "faith"
is not biblical-based, and is the moral equivalent of thanking God that one
is an atheist--or asking The Creator God--once again, to bless the pagan
god's--that one serves.
You, RW and I,
and anyone else, for that matter--was not there, at the "In the beginning,"
that Moses wrote of, in the Genesis Account in the Jewish-Christian Bible.
The Culture Of Death, that re-defines life--takes the blind-leap of "faith,"
re-defines life, within the context of pagan "faith"--and worships
"choice."
I can lay out
the biblical argument for life, from God's definitional position, as the
Creator God, but only the Spirit of the Living God can change your heart, RW,
and the hearts of those in The Culture Of Death, like you.
Yours is a very
chilling "faith," and I hope some one does not consider you less than human,
and murder you--and hold the Death Religion that you hold--I have "faith"
that I made the right "choice." May you never have to live in the living
hell on earth--that you just made your child go through!

I believe it is OK to abort
a pregnancy if it is done VERY early on. For this reason I think a woman
should be aware and of her body and be careful when she has sex and if she
knows she could be pregnant and doesn't want the baby abort within 2 weeks
of conception.
When I fell pregnant to
someone I had been with when I was very lonely and not really interested in
and the condom came off when he withdrew I knew it was the right time of the
month to fall pregnant. I had a test as soon as I could possibly tell I was
pregnant and had an abortion within 2 weeks of intercourse. I told my
partner and he told all his friends I could not have possibly known I was
pregnant that soon and that I must have been pregnant to someone else and I
must have been a slut and gotten pregnant to someone else.
He and his friends could
not conceive that I could be that aware of my own reproductive capacity and
my own bodily cycle and so he decided I must have fallen pregnant to someone
else weeks before. In truth I had not had sex for over a year and I was very
aware of my cycle and my ability to conceive. I did not want to abort a baby
or even a foetus like your disgusting pictures portray.
Not all women who abort are
unaware of what they are doing. I think you are intimidated by a women's
ability to conceive and the power that gives her and you think she should
have no choice if she falls pregnant. It takes two to make a baby and the
fact that the woman has to carry the baby and go through tremendous physical
and emotional trauma through pregnancy only to give it away to adopt to some
barren woman who cannot conceive and has no idea what she had gone through
is evil and misogynistic.
I cannot believe that there
are people so full of judgment and hate that they will try and tell other
people how to live their life.
Buddhists do not lobby meat
eaters to stop murdering animals, why don't you mind your own business.
I now have two beautiful
children with a beautiful father and we provide a loving happy family home.
I hate to think what kind of life a child of mine with no father would have
had. I believe a child needs a strong family and lots of support not just a
guilty powerless mother with no choice.
Our world is full of
references to sex. Advertising, films, magazines telling us we want sex and
that it will satisfy us. So, if a woman falls for this and seeks
satisfaction this way and then falls pregnant, as is likely, should she be
trapped into motherhood or giving up her child for adoption to a family she
doesn't even know? I believe that sex education and teaching responsibility,
love and respect is the best way to stop unwanted pregnancies and no one can
dictate to the unfortunate victim of casual sex what they should or should
not do.
Kirra
G'day Kirra,
You started
out sweet and innocent and then became a raging monster while all the while
pathetically and immaturely screaming, "It's not my fault, I'm a victim"
Those
disgusting photos aren't ours - they're yours. If not for people like you,
there wouldn't be anything to photograph. . . hmm, something to think about.
You advocate the murder of little children - you just don't like to see the
results of what you advocate. . . Pull your head out of the sand!
You say it's
evil to accept the responsibility of the result of your fornication and to
let the child live by giving him or her to one of the many families who
can't conceive and are on a long waiting list for adoption? Do you really
believe that it isn't evil to massacre that innocent child instead?
Do you
really believe it's better to kill a child just because you don't have a man
in your life? Isn't that a bit sexist? If your husband were to suddenly die,
would you still see that as grounds for killing your two younger children
also? Why not? You do say it's unacceptable that a child not have a father.
"No one can dictate to the unfortunate victim of casual sex". Yes, I've quoted you.
Lady, you're
not the unfortunate victim
of casual sex, your eldest child was - and it cost him or her their life.
Peter Erbacher
Dear Kirra,
If the
advertisements, books, films and the references they contain are as
bothersome to you as they are to me, don't buy the books, don't see the
films and don't be referred by what you may see in them.
How are
you going to tell your two beautiful children that you might have killed
them as you might have done to their sister or brother, because you "Believe
it is OK to abort a pregnancy" whenever it is done? Kirra, women don't fall
pregnant; Mothers become pregnant. Your falling was a failure to respect
yourself enough to wait for the husband that would respect you with the
dignity you so wonderfully deserve.
It takes
three to "Make a baby: Father, Mother and God who created them both; and
Kirra, to offer an untimely presence in your life to a family unable to
pro-create their own is the very antithesis of misogynism, but to demand
that it be killed for money comes closer to it.
I cannot
believe that there are people so full of judgment and hate that they will
try and tell other people, unborn ones, that they cannot live their lives.
Since I
am not a Buddhist, it is permissible for me to have an opinion and voice
it. God bless you and your family.

I
think abortion should always be a legal option.No politicians will make
decision for my body and my life. I am pro-choice (whatever the choice may
be ). Each women should be able to decide what is best for her specific
situation. If men could have babies, we wouldn't even be having this
conversation. Abortions would have been leagal since day1.

I am
31 years old. I had an abortion a year ago. It was a very hard thing to go
through. I received zero support from my boyfriend. One thing that is hard,
is that you can never be completely sure that you made the right decision.
But I do believe deep in my heart, that I did do what was right. It's a
tricky subject. You can't even tell some of your co-workers, because your
afraid how they may judge you. Or if someone who doesn't know, brings up the
subject of abortion, what do you do, but say nothing. It is something I will
live with for the rest of my life. All I can do is make smarter choices,
with the people I date. And make sure that this wasn't in vain. It is
something that changes you. But it doesn't have to defeat you either. It is
a grieving process. It is a loss. But for me, I have to be strong and have
faith that I made the right choice. And I am happy to say, that I had a
choice.
RW
RW, your
boyfriend did not support you because you made the decision to kill his
child. This sounds harsh, but this is the truth. No one is saying that
having a child was right for you at that time'but 'planned' children only
happen about ' of the time. No, we're not trying to make you feel bad in
any way'for you certainly have had a range of emotions in the past year to
keep your mind busy. We're only saying that you should at least accept the
truth about your choice. Only then can true healing begin.
AbortionTV
Dear RW,
Isn't it true that had birth for your baby been chosen; even birth and
adoption, the loving option, you would not have written a letter for all to
see about the difficulty of knowing you made the right decision? I am
happy you had a choice, too, but not at the expense you caused your baby to
pay of never having the same happiness. When you realize one day that
another choice should have been made, please don't hesitate to seek and find
the help that may be necessary to learn that God loves you. May God bless
you with peace in this blessed Season celebrating His Son's birth.

Pro-Life-choice. Some choices are great, but Life is a GIFT and the sine qua

my
appointment was at 11 today. I found out that i was pregnant a few weeks
ago and i fought with myself on what i should do. i am 27 and already a
single mother. My sons father passed when i was 7 weeks pregnant so i had to
go through 9 months alone with him. i have been dating my current boyfriend
for a little over a year and we just were not ready. he already has a child
himself. without going into great detail.. it was horrible. the pain was way
more than i thought it would be! i was told that i would be numb and that i
would not feel a thing by friends. this was a lie. my only comfort is the
doctor and nurse's were really understanding an nice. im cramping like hell
and this monster pad i am wearing is not very comfortable. i feel like i
have done the right thing now but im sure that my feeling will change once
things set in. im always going to wonder the sex or what my baby would have
been like. my son would have loved to have a brother or sister. i just dont
know if i did the right thing.
Anon
Dear Anon,
Your Son's
desire for a sibling is very valid, touching and in your case,
recuperative.. Tell him, "You have one, 'In Heaven.' ". And somewhere
between 'You' and 'Heaven' the answer to your rhetorical question in
the last line of your letter will have been discovered.
Then, to get in touch with your
spirit damaged by excess contact those who can help you heal, e.g., one of
the Links found in "Had an Abortion?" in the AbortionTV.Com Home Page. God bless you with

It
pains me to read the same evil arguments from the Culture Of Death.
The same old lies, from the god they serve--Satan!
If
it is Death they want, it will be Death they will get, except it will be on
God's terms, not theirs! Those that worship death will end up with their
fallen god in the lake of fire! I pray that
the arguments from the Culture Of Life penetrates the evil hears of the
Culture Of Death--for it is only the Spirit of the living God, that can
change the evil heart. As a young boy, in 1973, I
saw graphic pictures of the Culture Of Death's religious works--and those
images are burned into my mind, forever!
The
same sick, stupid old arguments and the same old evil reasons . . . the
Culture Of Death is both mentally and spiritually sick--even if it is not a
recognized illness! Keep up the Good Work, Culture
Of Life! Culture Of Death--you will face God!

Have George tiller give a tour of his clinic.
Maybe
even a tour of his crematorium, then we could all see his victims.
And then we would all be truly horrified by a real live monster.
Just a thought// he is so evil, i do not see how

I am sad to see such a
biased source of information used as a reference for SO many people. I study
at university and have spoken in great detail with many authorities on
medical science and many of your statistics and data are skewed heavily to
prove your view. Any educated individual knows that statistics can me
manipulated to prove almost any point of view.
Under your definition of
human life, taking many form of contraceptives would be murdering a human.
Several forms of contraceptives allow for conception but do not allow for
the embryo to join to the uterus lining. Abortion, no?
You say that the morning
after pill is ok but if the egg and sperm have met and fertilised then its
Abortion, no?
The concept of judging
something on its POTENTIAL is ok but is flawed! My stem cell are capable of
regrowing myself in my genetic entirety but if I remove them from myself it
is not considered Murder, abortion or even a potential human.
A site who claims to be a
site for the supply of information should not be this biased otherwise it is
verging on mistruth and deception.
I have many more arguments
for and against but I will first wait to see if you will post this before I
waist my time.
Arron
Australian Uni Student
The fact that you
believe our statistics to be skewed is indicative that you have already been
hopelessly swayed toward pro-abortionisim. Our stats are simply a statement
of truth'what you do with this truth is up to you. Our section on
contraception is also clear: many of the methods are abortive. This
is not even debated among the medical community. As always, we post letters
of opposition as a contrast to the truth herein. If it's not too late for
you'try to keep and open mind and revisit the sections herein. There is much
to be learned if you only allow the truth to enter.
AbortionTV
G'day Arron,
Why did you sign
your name 'Australian Uni Student'? Are you trying to impress us? Perhaps
you think your opinions have more clout? Forget your indoctrination! Start
thinking for yourself. You and all pro-aborts are stuck on stupid and you
don't even know it. Just like pigs don't know pigs stink.
Who cares for
your arguments. It's pretty simple, you're either killing a person, or
you're not. As far as uni goes, who gives a stuff? The creator of this
incredible site has more degrees than a thermometer.
Not only that, he can think for himself. You should try it, you may surprise
yourself.
Peter
Erbacher
Australian Real World
You appear to
take great pride in the fact that you are at university, but first I'd like
to point out that at the end of your post, you use "waist" which is a part
of the body. I believe the spelling you need is "waste". So, continuing
your rant with comments about "an educated individual" seems a little odd to
me.
Now, are you
trying to make us believe that other sites on abortion don't have a bias?
Are you trying to pretend that people who discuss this person to person
don't have a bias? There is NO fence riding on this issue.
You mention
authorities on medical science - and that's great, I'm sure. But have you
discussed biology with them? Biology dictates that contnuation of the
species leads to pregnancy. Biology shows that a fertilized egg has it's
own genetic code thereby being it's own person.
Statistics can
bce skewed by either side. Do you honestly believe that pro-aborts don't
skew their stats?? I would hope that as "an educated individual" you would
understand that fact.
As for you
removing own stem cells, that's not murder, because you've killed yourself -
that's suicide.
This site is an
information source. It is a source of information on the cons of abortion.
It would seem foolish for a anti-abortion site to try to provide pluses for
having an abortion, don't you think? That would be like "Mothers Against
Drunk Driving" having ads for Budweiser!!
HQ
Dear Arron:
No, it is sad your education does not let you know the reality of events
that the stats here prove are true or that your bias obviously rejects.
Arron, The
barrier method doesn't murder, but if The Pill is taken by a woman who then
engages in Intercourse with a man and conception is achieved the new life
begun then very likely will not implant in her uterus to continue a normal
development leading to birth and a life similar to the ones you and I have.
Instead, it will be flushed down the toilet. The Pill or other form of
chemical contraceptive, acting as an abortifacient, will have caused the
child to be aborted. Some call this murder. I don't know, but the child has
been killed. We are destined to meet him/her.
The presentation
of Plan B (Morning after contraceptive) is not, "OK," Arron, but a fact of
life to be avoided as the Black Plague, but it is designed to cause an
abortion.
Adult Stem Cells
are no longer potential therapies. Something that is flawed is by
definition not OK, but your rhetoric is a failed attempt to make a point.
If you remove one of your own adult stem cells, depending on how you do it,
your death may result. I suggest having trained medical professionals do
it as is done often in successful attempts that cure diseases to
heart muscles, and for other purposes.
--
Peace, Matthew
P. S. I am Pro-Life-choice. Some choices are great, but Life is a GIFT and
the sine qua non of all our choices.
Arron, I don't
think you spent much time viewing the many different links provided within
AbortionTV. Look again and you will find references from many sources,
including abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood. We have also cited
the Guttmacher Institute, a very well-known non-profit organization for
abortion "rights." Yes, statistics can be manipulated to prove any point of
view. Do you think only organizations opposing abortion are capable of such
manipulation? Or, is it only relevant when not agreement with your opinion?
There are many
abortaficient types of birth control, including the birth control and
morning after pills. My point of view is a fertilized embryo is human, but
is not viable until it has implanted in the uterine wall. Personally, I
have no issue with birth control, but respect others do not agree. However,
once an embryo attaches itself within the womb, becoming a viable
pregnancy, I do consider artificial termination, i. e., medical abortion,
immoral. Certainly, there are circumstances which abortion is necessary,
particularly to save maternal life. However, less than 1% of abortions
occur for these reasons. The vast majority are for nothing more than
convenience or perceived crisis on the part of the mother. Many women would
opt out of abortion if they had a support network in place. Been there,
done that.
Using your
statement of judging something based on potential as flawed,
this same argument could be applied to anything. Future employers will be
judging your potential after graduation. Now, you are merely a student,
continuously learning, maturing, and developing into a potential
professional. Everything has potential to be something; even a rock can
become the cornerstone of a building. There is no one point from conception
to death which humans stop developing.
So, when then, is it okay to take a life for the sake of another's
convenience?
There are no
mis-truths or deception on our part. The deception, which you've bought
into, is that terminating the life of an unborn child, whether for
convenience or a birth defect, is somehow justifiable. Pro-abortion
organizations go to great lengths and spend millions to convince you just
that. Since Margaret Sanger to present day, they have waged a very
successful propaganda war to convince society the unborn are merely
"products of conception."
I have many
arguments to answer yours. I'll be happy to debate you via e-mail in a
respectful manner. If there is anything within this site you deem
deceptive, please bring it to my attention. I will provide a rebuttal to
whichever information you have an issue with.

First off I would like to state that I'm pro-choice and also childfree. What
one woman decides to do may not be the best decision for another.
I was 27
years old when I chose to terminate my unwanted pregnancy,and it was the
best choice I made considering the circumstances. I was very much in love
with the man I was dating who had gotten me pregnant but we were not ready
to become parents.
I had been
taking birth control pills since I was 17 years old but had gone off of them
at the age of 25 due to high blood pressure but I was always meticulous
about taking them and not missing any days. When I first missed my period in
February of 2003 I had this inkling that something was wrong. Well..when I
took 3 home pregnancy tests and they all turned up positive there was no
escaping the fact that I was pregnant. My boyfriend at the time and I
talked out all options and decided that abortion was the best thing.
I got to
the clinic on March 1 and was told to come back in 2 weeks because they
couldn't find the fetus (or my uterus for that matter because it was
small),so I went back on March 15 and paid the $400. I sat in the waiting
room watching all these young girls and women sitting with their boyfriends
and crying...I was there by myself being that my mother didn't approve of my
decision and left the clinic and would be back to pick me up. I didn't mind
because it gave me plenty of time to mull over what I was doing. When the
nurse called my name I got up and went into the room. The doctor was very
professional and told me to put my feet in the stirrups,then told me he
found the fetus. I breathed a sigh of relief thinking "good I don't have to
come back again and get the surgical abortion" (I opted to have the non
surgical abortion since I was only 5-6 weeks by then). I was told to go into
another office where the nurse gave me pill to take orally then explained
that I had to go home and insert 4 pills deep into my vagina to expel the
fertilized egg. I asked the nurse if I could see the sonogram (I'm a morbid
person by nature) to get a piece of mind that I wasn't "killing a baby". The
nurse told me "sure" and I saw the sono,to me it looked no bigger than a
golf ball. She said it was just a sac and there was no reason to feel any
guilt,but I didn't anyway.
After I
got home and inserted the other pills,I started to bleed profusely,very much
like a severe menstrual cycle with twice the cramps! My boyfriend wasn't
allowed at the clinic with me but he called me every hour on the hour when I
was home and was very attentive. Do I regret my decision? NO! I'm now 31
years old and childfree...I never felt like I was pregnant and I certainly
didn't have that "glow" that pregnant women have. Then again I lack the
maternal instinct. Please do not bash the prochoice people,we just have
different views and not all of us are "baby killers". Thank you for letting
me speak my piece.
Diana
Diana, with all
due respect, you weren't ready to become parents'but your child was 'ready'
to start his/her life. The truth is that about ' of all pregnancies are
unplanned. Should ' of us not 'be here' because of this? Further you
obviously weren't ready to become parents (by your own admission), but other
couples were ready to become parents for your child. Yes, we know
it's not an easy decision to give a baby for adoption'but it's not 'about'
the parents'it's 'about' the life of a child.
Finally, we're
not here to 'bash' anyone. We're only here to present the truth'no matter
how hard it might hurt.
AbortionTV
G'day Diana,
So you're
pro-choice are you? You're not anti-anything? . . . So you're not
anti-rape, right, because you're 'pro-choice'? Obviously, you're also not
anti-paedophilia, anti-racism, anti-terrorist, anti-domestic violence,
anti-wife bashing, etc? I mean, you are 'pro-choice', right?
You think we
shouldn't 'bash' pro-aborts because you have different views? By that logic
you think rape, paedophilia, etc, is acceptable because these people may
have 'different views' to you?
Just keep
telling yourself you don't regret killing your own flesh and blood, and
you'll continue to believe it, for a time. But, sooner or later, the truth
is going to hit you hard. It's going to knock you over like a Mack Truck.
How selfish of you to write in trying to incite others to kill their
children also.
I wasn't
ready to be a parent either, but I lost the right to choose the moment I had
sex.

To the creators of this
website,
When I was 15, I became
pregnant. I was in private (Christian) school, my boyfriend and I were
straight-A students, etc. My boyfriend really pressured me to have an
abortion. I had never thought either way about abortion or how I felt about
it. This was years ago. I looked up abortion online, and I found your
website. It was the first time I really saw the facts about abortion and I
was
horrified. I refused to get an abortion. I had the baby, and he moved
out of state to live with his (physician and "Christian") father and he
dumped us. My family was supportive and I was able to finish high school and
graduated with honors. I am now about to graduate from college with a
bachelor's degree in nursing! I am married to a wonderful man who my son now
knows as "daddy" and I have a beautiful, genius six year old son that is the
biggest blessing of my life. I genuinely don't know what my life would be
without him.
I get scared to think what could have happened if I didn't find your website
those years ago, and just went along with the pressure from my boyfriend. I
pray every night and thank God for showing me the way to go and that I made
the right decision. I wanted to thank you all for caring so much about this.
I volunteered for a
pro-life clinic in high school after I had my son, and I have met so many
people in random ways that I find out are pregnant and they just need
someone to talk to, and then I will see them a year later- with a baby!
Thank you so much, for inspiring me to help other people and save baby's
lives.
As a nurse, I wanted to go
into this profession in order to help girls make the right decision when
under pressure, much like me. I don't know what to do. I know this is
random, but I know you all feel strongly about this. What way do you think a
nurse could help in the general pro-life effort?? I know this is what I need
to do with my life, but I don't know where to go now.
Thank you again- for my
time, for my son, for EVERYTHING.
Lindsey Parker

G'day
Lindsey,
Good for
you! Thank you for sending in your story. As you know, there are a lot of
air-heads that write in, (just look around us). There are many ways you can
help. On the pages at this link, you will get a few ideas.

Your
site is ridiculous. People know what abortion is. As long as a fetus/zygote
is in a female's body, its her right, and her right alone to decide whether
or not she wants to continue with the pregnancy or terminate it. And im glad
Abortion is legal. If it isn't a female's right to decide then who's is it?
Its
not a matter of whether or not a fetus/zygote has rights. Its alive, its
made of living tissue, but its more of a 'who's right do you value more'
type of situation. And I have more sympathy for the female standing before
me, rather then a being that hasen't entered the world yet and has lived
life. Sure, its probably selfish, but even so, its still a females right.
Everyone should have the right over their own body. The fetus is inside
hers, so thats the end of it. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
A female has the right over her body before shes pregnant and after. Being
pregnant shouldn't mean she loses that right. Regardless of whatever bullsh**
religion anyone belives in, or whatever your morals may be, as long as it
involves a female losing the right over her body, your wrong.
Why dont you guys change the name of your site to something like "#1
Pro-Life Site" or something with the term "Pro-Life" in the title? No site
that supports one side of an argument is the complete truth. Your all bias.
Do everyone a favor and give your pathetic site a proper title instead of
the misleading one you have now.
S.
Not probably, it
is selfish. In fact, it's the ultimate selfish act'whereby
one chooses to kill another simply out of personal convenience.
AbortionTV
G'day S.
Your silly
little rant of gibberish is the sort I always find most amusing. Using terms
like "fetus / zygote" may fool you into believing you're some type of
intellectual. The truth is, it just shows you as one of the many who have
been brainwashed / indoctrinated by an institution which tells you what to
think.
We can play
semantics 'till the cows come home, but in the end, you'll discover that a
baby is still a baby; And "terminating a pregnancy" is a fancy way of
describing "murdering a baby". Of course, so-called 'educated' people, such
as yourself, are just too bloody stupid to understand something so simple.
Obviously,
like many 'educated' people, you're also so stupid as to think that a child
is part of a woman's body. Since a baby is either a boy or a girl, you must
believe that 50% of pregnant women have a penis! Yeah, pretty stupid, eh?
That aside, Miss or Mr Intellectual, anyone with a basic understanding of
DNA knows that a baby isn't part of a Mother's body.
As for
religion, your views are based on the religion of the evolution theory. Yes,
it is a religion, and it requires more faith than all of the others put
together. Just look up the Second Law of Thermodynamics. If you want to know
the truth, you can get it here:

Incidentally, S, your name, what does it stand for? Stupid . . . or
something else?

With that
reasoning process, another time and another place--you could add another S,
for Hitler's SS. Hope you are proud and
satisfied with your stance--Oh person of dust with feet of clay.

There are some who visit this site that are void of basic qualities that
make people human. These are the creatures who believe that plants and
animals, such as swine and rats, have more of a 'right to life' than a
little boy or girl.
These people should consider having done to them, that which they are
adamant be done to unborn children, or, in some cases, children who are in
the process of being born, or even those who have already been born. Yeah,
sick isn't it?
In
fact, it's pure bloody evil.
To
those who are 'with child'; Firstly, congratulations on being a Mother.
Secondly, you don't want to be an 'ex' Mother.
I'm not going to preach, I'll let Madonna do that. You just keep your baby!

This
is probably going to be one of the longer submissions to your website, but
please read everything if you have the time.
I'm
sure there is probably someone out there like I am, that is one of the main
reasons for this submission, but I also have an abortion story to go along
with it. I have been on both sides of the abortion fence, and actually as of
right now I still am. I seem to go back and forth every day about whether
I'm Pro-Choice or Pro-Life.
I am a
very well educated, 33 year-old college graduate with a well-paying job and
a degree in Computer Science. I became interested in the abortion topic in
my high school debate class when it was the topic of a debate. I was not on
the debate team, I was actually a judge. However, I did not research it for
several years. But when I did decide to do the research, which was 10 years
ago (3 years after my personal abortion), I have probably visited almost
every abortion website, blog and fact site on the web. Sometimes the facts
are different, but most importantly almost all the stories are different. I
have read stories of regret and stories of relief. To kind of give you an
idea of how my opinion goes back and forth, here are some of the points I
seem to consider often:
Rape/Incest Cases. While I know the facts state these are few and far
between, I do know that these cases do happen. Sometimes I feel that a woman
should never have to have a child that was conceived in an act of disgust,
such as rape or incest, but then I feel that the woman should choose
the option of adoption. Then I talk to a woman that works in my office that
is in the adoption process, and it has taken what seems like forever. I
believe almost 2 years now. Her husband and herself are very well qualified
individuals with plenty of love and material possessions to give a child. I
then wonder if the foster homes the children awaiting adoption are placed
in, are foster homes that actually have people who will molest/abuse the
child/baby. That's when my mind changes again, and I feel no child should
ever have to go through molestation/abuse. The list goes on and on in these
cases.
Not
enough money/Enough children already/Not ready for children/Not convenient.
While the facts state that these account for almost all abortions, again, I
am stuck in the middle. If a teenage girl is acting irresponsibly because
her parents never had the "talk" with her and winds up in a situation where
she engages in sexual activies and becomes pregnant, should she have to have
the child? What if she doesn't know she is pregnant, because she doesn't
actually know what pregnancy is? What if she thinks the child isn't alive,
isn't growing or that it will "just go away"? Then I wonder whether to blame
the parents or the school system for not educating these teens on this topic
so she would never have to be in this situation. I have several cousins who
are teenagers, both sexes, and at one point in time, I have asked each one
what their take on sex/abortion/birth control is? I know that this isn't
considered a survey or analysis by any means, but this is the answers I
got. Every single male cousin except one (exact number of male cousins -
nine, aged 12-19) said in almost the same words, "Every one of my guy
friends in school has to get laid to fit in by one those girls.. You know
those girls that will do that.. I guess you can call them hoes..If we have a
mess-up our parents will pay for an abortion because we are too young." As
I was picking my jaw up from hitting the floor, I went on to ask them what
exactly they considered a "hoe". They said, "You know, those girls who will
give it up to any guy, in all kinds of positions and will usually go down on
me." I am sorry for the languange, but this is the talk of most teens
nowadays. My permission to blank out any words not appropriate. That's
when I get back to the top and think "irreponsible girls"? What about the
guy involved? Shouldn't he also take 50% of the blame, and not just the part
to come up with money for an abortion if they have an accident? As for the
female cousins, I asked each one if they were virgins (they trust me
completely, and knew I would never tell their parents if they didn't want me
to), and I asked their take on abortion/birth control. Four of the five
female cousins (aged 11-20), said "No, we aren't virgins, we have had
several partners. We are pretty much scared to talk about sex/birth control
with our parents, but I'm sure if I became pregnant they would help me with
an abortion." Then two of them stated one of the most disturbing things I
have heard in a long time. And I quote, "Most of the girls in my school who
are having sex have started having anal sex just so they don't get pregnant.
We also like sex with girls and guys and oral sex." Again, my jaw dropped
and I started to give them a long speech about AIDS/HIV and other STD's, but
they just didn't seem interested anymore. Diseases don't happen to "girls"
like them seemed to be their mentality.
Back
to my opinion, as educated as I am about abortion and the aftermath, I am
more confused than ever. I get one opinion in my head and then throw up the
other side of the argument, I just cannot decide. Yes, I have seen every
single picture of aborted children (yes, I do believe they are children),
and it is absolutely terrible as to what the methods of abortion do to the
them. Ripping them limb from limb or sucking them into a vaccum is
horrible. Seeing a child in an underdeveloped country or from a very poor
family in the United States that is barefooted, very dirty and very
malnourished is also horrible. I have not ever talked to one of these
children, so I am not sure how they feel about their life, whether they feel
as if they are better off dead or never having been born. I did, however,
have the pleasure of speaking/typing with a teenager who has
Celebral Palsy along with a number of sensory diseases, and her response
to her take on life is that does wish that she had never been born. I asked
her why and her repsonse was that she had been through so much in her life -
with all the doctors and teasing that she hated life all together. She said
she has never got to enjoy it because she is in pain and agony all the time.
So with that conversation, I was stuck on my opinion of parents who find out
their children have a disease or disability and whether or not they should
abort.
I'm
not looking for anyone to try to sway my choice in one way or the other, I
was simply stating all that because like I said in the beginning, I assume
there is someone else out there that has the same problem I do. However, all
opinions are very welcome.
Now,
on to my abortion story. I DO regret my abortion. I was 20 years old and
living with my soon to be husband, who was 26. I was working on my college
degree and he already had a well paying job. We were already planning our
wedding, and I was on the pill, which I took everyday like clockwork. We
also used the rythym method (which I know isn't reliable), but since I was
on the pill, I figured that the combination would be okay. My period came
every month at the same time, and I kept it written down in a book. I
noticed a change in my body, and even before my period was late, I went and
bought a pregnancy test, and sure enough it was positive. I then started
getting severe morning sickness. I would throw up every morning around 6:30,
try to eat, get sick again, go to college, throw up there, come home in the
afternoon and throw up about 8 times before I went to class. I immediately
told my boyfriend, he told me it was my choice, and either way he was there
to support me. I know now that he wanted the child, but he wanted me to
have my own choice. I didn't want to wait very long to make a decision,
because I didn't want to be any further along than what I was. I live in a
small town, and we don't have any Planned Parenthood's, we only have one
abortion clinic and it's about two hours away from my home. I called the
clinic to get some information. They basically explained the procedure,
asked me if I would want to be under twilight sedation and how far along I
was. I told them around 5 to 6 weeks, and they asked me if I wanted to make
an appointment or call back. I told them I would call back. However,
despite my close relationship to my parents, I chose not to tell them. My
mother had me when she only seventeen, and her and my father had a difficult
time raising me. That is why I am so much older than my cousins, because I
was born several years before they were. I'm not sure if I was afraid they
would try to convince me one way or the other or if I was afraid they would
be ashamed of me, because they would think I was following in my mother's
footsteps. I still haven't told them to this day. After a week of doing
nothing but thinking about my choice (and basically putting all my
schoolwork off), I decided at that time abortion was the best and most
logical option so I could finish school, get a well paying job and then have
a child. I called the clinic, made the appointment for a Monday, told my
boyfriend and he immediately scheduled off work so he could be with me. I
cried the entire night before and wondered if I made the right decision. I
slept on the couch for fear that I would keep my boyfriend awake, little did
I know, he was awake the whole night as well. My appointment was for 8:00
a.m., and I was ready to go at 5:30. We drove to the clinic and checked in.
There were no kind of protesters, and to this day there never have been
because like I said, this town is so small, people just basically don't
address the subject frequently. I filled out a ton of paperwork and the
nurse finally called my name. My boyfriend had tears in his eyes, and kissed
me on the cheek as I left. The nurse did several things and talked to me
all the while. She put me in a room and the actual doctor came in a few
minutes later. Although, I do not think this is common, the doctor himself
explained the procedure and did the counseling session. He definitely did
not try to convince me one way or the other, and he did ask me
about adoption. However, I was under the impression a separate counselor do
this. I then went to have an ultrasound to find out exactly how far along I
was. They started the ultrasound and the tech looked kind of puzzled. She
asked how far along I thought I was, and I said around 6 to 7 weeks. There
was an image of child, but he/she was not moving and there was no heartbeat
at all. A second ultrasound tech and the doctor came into confirm this. The
child was already dead. They asked me if I wanted to miscarry naturally or I
wanted to go ahead with the abortion. I didn't think I could handle seeing
all the blood, and possibly seeing the child, so I told them to proceed. The
very very strange thing about this clinic is they did not collect any sort
of payment beforehand. They waited until it was over with. I often wonder
what if someone went in there without enough money and had the procedure and
wasn't able to pay. Anyway, an anesthesiologist came in and started an
IV. I do not remember anything. I did not feel anything and I did not see
anything. I woke up in a recovery room with my boyfriend crying. I waited
for a hour and the nurse checked me again. All the while, the staff was
excellent if I could say the least. I was then ready to leave and my
boyfriend paid the fee as we were leaving. I did not bleed any or have any
kind of complications afterwards. I went back 2 weeks later for a checkup
and to start my new birth control. However, I immediately started having
regrets for not letting nature take its course. I felt so guilty over having
the abortion I did go into a state of depression for a few months. I cried
and was very moody the whole time. I do think about it every time that day
of the year comes. It is also very strange that women who say they do not
regret their abortion, still remember it vividly. They do not remember what
they had for dinner a week ago, but they do remember an abortion. I married
my boyfriend a few years later, and we have been together ever since then.
We did have a few problems because of the abortion, but we always made it
through. Now, I do want children and am very ready, although we are not
trying yet. I want one of my own and am also considering adopting from
another country.
Thank
you for your website, and while there are a few things that are not
up-to-date, such as your statistics page, I do find it very informative, and
have been coming here for many many years, and will continue to do so. I'm
not sure why I decided to write in tonight and not years ago, but I hope you
understand there are people out there like me. Strange, but true. Again,
thank you, and thank you all for your honest responses. I do respect your
opinions, and wish that I could also have a one-sided opinion on
abortion. Maybe one day I will.
Thank
you for your time,
Bethany
Bethany, thank
you for a powerful letter. Our stats page is actually up-to-date, as
available statistics lag several years behind. This is primarily because
there are no regulations requiring providers to release information on the
number of abortions they perform.
AbortionTV
Dear Bethany,
First, I am sorry for your pain over the loss of your child. There are
resources to help, if you are so inclined, our resources can direct you to
these. You are not alone in your grief for your child.
I understand "sitting on the fence." I have done it many times myself.
Even though I am staunchly pro-life, I do question many things in this world
of ours. Children seem to suffer the most. But, human suffering is largely
due to our cruelty. Every problem in the world can usually be traced to
corruption, greed, and the ugliness of the human heart. That said, people
are also capable of great love, compassion, and beauty. I do believe that
children are innocent and should be cherished. No child should be held
responsible for his parent's faults, including the unborn.
I'm a foster/adoptive mother of six children. I did want to address your
comment regarding adoption. There are many facets to adopting a child. The
fact your co-worker has waited so long may be in part due to that couple's
expectations. Are they seeking a Caucasian child? Do they expect a closed
adoption? What are their expectations of a birth mother? Are they listed
only with one agency?
If open to race and/or special needs, that wait could be cut in half. My
children are African-American and biracial. Our first adoption took only
six weeks after our home study was completed. My son was a newborn. One of
my daughter's was 14 months old. My husband and I successfully adopted two
healthy biracial children, a 2-year-old and his newborn sister, from the
foster system. Benjamin was legally free. "Evangeline" was just freed for
adoption. Still another, Jaya, was adopted from foster care in another
state. Each of the latter three adoptions was little/no-cost to my family
and my children receive a subsidy to help our family. There is a $10,000
federal tax credit for adoption, including failed adoptions.
Foster parents are carefully screened and trained to provide care to the
children in the system. We are fingerprinted. We have to have routine
medical exams, TB and STD tests, as well as federal/state criminal
background checks. It varies state to state, but has become more rigorous
and strict. My state requires six hours of training yearly, and that will
soon increase. Additionally, my home is inspected by social workers
routinely. The fire marshal is also required to visit prior to licensing,
and I have to have a minimum of three fire detectors, as well as other
safety equipment. The children in my care are not allowed sleep in any bed
but their own. To date, I don't know of a single instance of
abuse/molestation by a foster parent in my area.
I can assure you, most foster parents are thoroughly screened. The
bad stories in the press are usually cases in which DSS failed to do their
job or screening failed. There's always a bad apple, somewhere. The vast
majority of us are interested in helping the children, nothing more.
Adoptive and foster parents go through more hurdles than anyone to become
parents and have to do more than biological parents to have a family.
I hope your friends will soon become a family.

I read your post
and wanted to comment. I understand you're not looking for someone to
change your mind - I 'm not trying to do that. I just have comments for
you.
First - you say
you're riding the fence and that you argue with yourself back and forth. I
think there are quite a few people who go back and forth - for whatever
reason, maybe they don't have all the information or whatever. Maybe it's a
situational issue. But, I happen to be pro-life and I'd like to tell you
why.
When I was in my
teens (I don't remember exactly how old) I asked about abortion - what it
was and why it was bad. Now, my Mom (in all her wisdom) explained that it
is removing an unborn baby before it's ready to be born. She gave me no
leading (I don't feel). I was horrified and asked how the baby could live
and she said the baby couldn't. At that very second, I became pro-life and
have never swayed in my stance. For it can't be a situational issue.
You mention
cases of rape and/or incest. Most people who are conflicted about this
issue usually do eventually. Again, here is my stance: When a woman is in
jail and going to be executed, but is pregnant, the execution is postponed
until after she gives birth. This has been the case thru most of history -
with a few exceptions for "witches". Why, some may ask, do they wait??
Well, because the idea is to execute the person(s) guilty and a baby is in
no way guilty of it's mother's crimes. We, however do not extend that same
thought process to a child conceived from a rape. The thought process seems
to be that it would be better to take this innocent life than to give this
life an opportunity. Is it fair that a woman who gets pregnant from rape be
"forced" to see this face every day for the rest of her life? Well, that
seems to me to be a personal question. But, studies that I've read show
that women who have an abortion after being raped feel doubly violated, and
women who give birth feel healing. They feel they have done something
beautiful with the filth thrust on them. I'm not saying keep the baby. I
think that is a personal decision. But give that child the opportunity at
life that they deserve as they are also innocent of that filth. As for
incest, again the studies I've read show that the girls are relieved as it
shines a light on the abuse being forced on them.
Your next
paragraph is all about selfish reasons. (Hold on while I get BACK on my
soap box.) If you're old enough to have sex, you should be old enough to
accept the consequences. The point of sex is to further the species. I'm
not suggesting that we go back to the very old way of thinking that no one
should enjoy sex - but the point is not the pleasure. The point is to get
pregnant. If you take a crayon and rub it across paper, are you surprised
to see a mark left behind? No. Why? The crayon did what it is designed to
do - leave a mark. Apply this thought process to sex. Sex is designed to
make someone pregnant. This doesn't seem to be rocket science to me.
As for your
nieces and nephews - well, I don't know what to say. This is a generation
of kids who think oral sex isn't sex. They use sex to fit in with the rest
of the kids. Everyone is so afraid of being thought a virgin that they will
do anything to rid themselves of that "stigma". And, I'm sorry for it. I'm
terrified that my daughters will think this same way - I can see peer
pressure at play already with my 7 year old.
Next, you talk
about people with disabilities. I'm sorry you've run across someone who
wishes she had never been born. I can honestly say my life has been greatly
enriched on several separate occasions by those same people who would be
thrown aside so casually. I have a friend who has Cerebral Palsey. This
man is very badly handicapped. You have to concentrate very hard to
understand what he says. He can't really write, he has to type with a
pencil in his mouth. This is a person who could rail at the unjustness of
his life. But this man is SO happy. He can't use a glass to drink without
a straw. He will chase a single pea around his plate for 40 minutes to
catch it - and DO NOT offer to help!! He is the complete opposite of your
person. I love this man so much. He came to my wedding - I have him on
tape with a straw in his mouth waving it up and down in time to the music.
He dropped the straw back in his glass and smiled and said "I'm
conducting!" He wrote a book - it took him 5 years. This man is an awesome
friend and an inspiration to me. Tossing him aside because of his diability
would be a horrible injustice.
And last - your
abortion story. First, I'm sorry you chose to abort. But, I'll tell you
something that very few people know. I was in your shoes. Not the deciding
to abort part - all the rest. I had a hard time getting pregnant the first
time (6.5 years) so was surprised to find myself pregnant a second time.
When I was about 11 weeks into it, I started spotting, and was sent for an
ultrasound. The tech looked SO hard to make sure there really wasn't a
heartbeat. She was as kind as she could be when telling me. But, had to
get a doc to verify her findings. The guy was a super jerk, but confirmed
her findings - I was pregnant with a corpse was the only thought running
thru my mind. My doctor recommended a D&C. I had it done. Now, I have to
tell you that I don't think of that as an abortion. My cousin called me to
"remind" me that I was having an abortion. I've chosen to believe otherwise
- and here is why: abortion ends a life that is in progress. My baby's
life had already ended - I had the procedure to begin my healing. I didn't
stop the heartbeat - that was done already. And that thought process is MY
choice!

My sons girlfriend is 7 months preg and now dose
not want the baby - he does but she'd rather not have it or give it away. I
agreed to help or take the baby , but she said no , she is talking about
seaweead stick abortions and sniffing pinesole- i dont know what to do -my
son is in jail.
broken
hearted grandmother
any
advise would be welcomed
socail
services just said it was not against the law to give a baby away since she
states she will not call anyone and say she don't know who the father
is, and just to try be her friend
this
is getting very hard, i have been to the doctors with her and have got her a
3 d sonagram and vedio of her unbourn child hoping for her to bond to the
child.
Anon
Clearly, the most horrific abortion procedures are "late term," which is
what you are referring to. Try to get her to "humanize" the baby,
e.g., ask her "What name would you give this child? How would you
dress her/him? How do you think your child would feel in your arms?
etc, etc." Have her visit AbortionTV and read some letters from women
who chose, and women who chose not to opt for abortion. Can you also
get her to visit a crisis pregnancy center in your area?
AbortionTV
First, she may
be experiencing depression for various reasons. It may be a cry for
attention or help. Please see what might be done about getting her some
support services in place. Ask her questions, thoughtfully and forthright,
why she is expressing such thoughts about birthing this child. Quite
possibly, sniffing chemicals may also be an indication of suicidal
behavior. I would most certainly bring this up to her family members, if
possible. It sounds as though she may have mental health issues. Lack of
support and companionship are HUGE factors which can weigh negatively on a
pregnant woman. Desperation, is a driving factor for pregnant women which
can lead to abortions.
If possible, perhaps you could offer her space under your roof. This would
offer not only support, but gives you the added benefit of looking after
your unborn grandchild. You don't have to supply that as a motivating
factor, either.
It is not against the law to surrender her baby. However, substance abuse
is grounds for having her baby removed from care once born. I would report
this to social services. Also, see if your state has a Putative Father
registry and get your son's name on it, ASAP. Whether your son is in jail
or not, he has parental rights, period. No adoption agency or social
services agency can legally terminate his rights without his consent.
Further, they have to advertise. If she places the child without his
consent, an adoption can be challenged and overturned on that point. Also,
I would suggest you contact social services and prepare to become a foster
parent in the event the child is removed and just to be CINA (Child in Need
of Assistance). If your son's relationship with her is strained, get him to
start repairing it, ASAP.
Try very hard not to be seen as overbearing, but supportive. Ask how she
is feeling. Focus on her needs, too. Pregnancy can be overwhelming,
especially if she without a partner. Offer to take her to lunch and give
her a small gift of flowers. Comment on how pretty she looks. If you can,
take her shopping for a pretty, trendy maternity outfit to boost her self
esteem. Get your nails done together. Get a makeover at the mall. Treat
her to a pedicure at a spa. Do whatever you can to make her feel positive
about herself, and then she will feel more positive about motherhood. If
the baby's sex is known, start referring to him/her by name to affirm
identity. Tell her you are looking forward to a grandchild as beautiful as
she is.
Plus, to help you, third trimester abortions are VERY expensive. Likely,
she cannot afford it. I would shower her with attention that focuses on her
and give her all the love you can muster. Build a relationship with her
and it will likely save her, and your grandchild.
Please e-mail me if you need further support. I have been in this woman's
shoes.

I somewhat
disagree with you abortiontv. I think the girlfriend is angry and upset -
perhaps because the boyfriend is in jail? or maybe for other reasons and is
acting out her agression against her child as a cry for help. Perhaps she is
feeling abandoned. Maybe focussing on the child here will only make things
worse. Maybe someone needs to focus on *her* for a change. I get a real
sense of "but what about me?", she could be resentful of the child who is
getting all of the attention. I would advise the grandmother to be slow to
speak and quick to listen. I would advise her to take her to a counselor,
not a pregnancy counselor necessarily, but a general counselor who can help
her work out what is bothering her. If she is looked after in this way only
then will she be able to reconnect with her child. This could actually be
more urgent than this - I would contact someone trustworthy in mental health
as I believe she could be a suicide risk.

Dear Broken
Hearted Grandmother,
At 7 months for her to find a place to perform an abortion would basically
be illegal. President Bush signed Partial Birth Abortion into law in 2003.
http://www.nrlc.org/abortion/pba/PBAall110403.html
If you believe she is doing drugs or causing harm to herself that can harm
the baby, you can report this to the police and DCYF.
She can give the baby away...I don't know the laws in your state concerning
adoption but if your son agrees to sign away the rights, the baby can be
adopted. Of course that is if she acknowledges that your son is the father.
I wish you luck with the situation.

I am sorry for
the situation that you are in.
I hope that you
have a Bible-based Church to attend and a loving net-work of praying Saints
to aide you.
It is so hard to
get some one to see that life is the only choice, because life is a gift
from God. In a cold, hard society that is drifting away from the
Jewish-Christian ethic--the frame work of our laws, the spirit of the
law--the higher moral function, also suffers. "Life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness," as out lined in out Nation's
Declaration, has morphed into the pursuit of happiness, at
the expense of life, and liberty.
I cannot know
the agony you feel--and how the situation violates the biblical world-view
of life as God's gift, but I am sure that there are millions like you, that
sees with the eyes God has given you, rather than the blinders of man's
immoral laws--that violates the spirit of the law.
It would do the
the world much good, if more were broken hearted over the "right to life,"
rather than the Paris Hilton wanna bees that buzz about--in selfish, here
and now sin.
It is an evil
beyond words that would sever the bond between a woman and the life that God
has placed in the womb . . . . Abortion is not an empowering tool, for
strong women, it is a law by fools, for fools that would play God and
determine who is and who is not worthy of life, much like the U.S.
government at one time determined Indians non-persons--and had an
extermination program later duplicated by Nazi Germany. As half Indian, I
take offense at some one determining if I am a life unworthy of life--as I
would if I were Jewish. We repeat the ignorance of the Culture of Death--by
exterminating our non-persons--in the womb!!!
Though this seem
an easy thing to say, despite all the evils--and abortion is one of the
great societal evils, God is in control, 100% of the time. His will, will
be done!
Take comfort in
knowing that the Creator-God loves all involved,
Psalm 139.

Today
I am 50 years old. When I was 16 I got pregnant and initially planned on
having my baby...but my mother pressured me into having this "operation" and
to forget about it. My boyfriend went into denial, and so I thought that if
the doctors, government and my Mom thought it was okay, that it must be. In
my twenties I was again single and pregnant, my boyfriend pressured me to
abort, sadly I did. This time I went to an abortion clinic, it was horrific,
I was wide awake, it was VERY painful, I went into shock and felt like I had
been raped again.
I got
an infection, damaged cervix, badly scarred uterus, and was only able to
have one child, a beautiful son, he is 15 years old and I love being a Mom.
Doctors said that due to the damage done as a result of those abortions,
they couldn't believe I had him! Children are a blessing, they will never
hurt you. Don't believe the lies. God will help you, there is help. It's a
baby. Abortion deeply hurt me, and killed my children, it is a wrong, and
not a right! Rev. 12:11

I'm emailing you in the
hopes that Pictures of my son will help someone choose a better choice.
This is my son Caleb
Xavier. He died from unknown reasons at 8.5 weeks, I found out at 12.5 weeks
and he was miscarried at home at 13 weeks.
He seemed to be perfectly
formed...he had 10 fingers and 10 toes...he was amazingly beautiful.
We used the camcorder so we
would never forget just how perfect he was...later I took pictures of the tv
to send to women who wanted to see what a baby REALLY looks like at about 9
weeks, and I have been sharing him every since.
Hopefully our loss will
help someone see that babies are not mearly blobs of tissue because they are
small.
here is Caleb's montage -

A few
respondents to "Yell at Us" have commented at various times on taking
personal responsibility for a decision which is legal. While I am a firm
believer in answering to the consequences of one's actions and
accountability, I have to question, where is the accountability and
responsibility on the part of the abortion industry which claims to promote
the interests of women and girls it "serves?" Like cigarette manufacturers,
abortion providers market a product which can have long-lasting consequences
for the user. Unlike the cigarette industry, the abortion industry is
coddled and promoted, even lauded for its ''achievements" and service to
women and society. Planned Parenthood receives millions in tax-payer
funding to promote its agenda. Unlike cigarette companies, it is
seldom held to social standard outside a liberal one. It vigorously
attacks any opposition with smear campaigns, law suits, and counter
propaganda. No industry like the abortion industry is as protected and
rewarded for a campaign which literally has been proved to market its deadly
product to girls who are in a most vulnerable position.
Abortion has long-lasting consequences. I think back to the hot summer day
in June 1991 when I "terminated" my pregnancy, ending the life of my
yet-to-be born son, Jacob Matthew. He was wanted, but suddenly became
inconvenient when new husband, the father, decided he didn't want the burden
of a suddenly pregnant wife. Suddenly finding myself alone, I was desperate
to find a solution to what I viewed as a crisis situation. I was terrified
of being a single mom. Further, lacking self-esteem and in an emotional
abusive relationship, I allowed my husband to brow beat and bully me into
thinking I couldn't raise my child alone. I was convinced no one would be
interested in raising his child and my life would be ruined forever if Jacob
came into the world. Yes, I understood the basic precepts of abortion.
However, what I understood, what I was told, and what was done to my body
are quite different.
During the counseling session at the abortion clinic, I was not told a fetus
is dissected into parts. Jacob's arms and legs were ripped from his body
and his skull crushed. When I learned, years later, the horrific procedure
done to this child, I was horrified. I was merely told the "products of
conception were removed." My fetus was referred to as a "blob of tissue."
I don't say this to be dramatic, as this is literally what I was told.
Further, I was not allowed to see the ultrasound screen, even though I
demanded too. This was "against" Planned Parenthood policy. Adoption?
"Why would I give my baby to strangers to be abused?" as the counselor
stated. I wasn't how rude the staff would be when I changed my mind with
feet in the stirrups. Or, how they would ignore my cries and those of other
girls after the procedure.
Never at any time was I advised that post-abortion, I would immediately
regret my decision. Contrary, there was little, if any relief. If
relief is, "oh gosh, now I won't go bankrupt supporting my child," it was
only momentary. I was convicted by my own conscience the moment sobriety
hit following anesthesia (and I was not a Christian).
I wasn't warned the laminaria used in the procedure would so damage my
cervix I wouldn't be able to deliver my daughter. Or the complications
which would arise in other pregnancies following the abortion. I wasn't
told of PTSD, which I spent the next 8 years suffering from after this.
Now, 2007, when I think of that day, I cry for the young lady I was, but I
see the bigger picture. I allowed myself to be a victim, but I also chose
to be a victim by placing trust in the wrong sources. For my ex-husband, I
feel nothing. He's moved on to victimize other women, but I am free.
Regarding Planned Parenthood, I am saddened and disturbed. Those who work
for the organization genuinely believe in what they are doing. I understand
they are as convicted of their beliefs as I am they are dead wrong. Legal
doesn't equal moral or just.
Like the smoker, I chose to partake of the "product," taken in that it
would be a quick fix to what really wasn't a long-term problem. Like
the smoker, I paid for my decision with consequences; emotional, social,
physical, and other. Like the smoker, my family has paid for my decision as
well. The mental health issues, aggravated by abortion, plagued my husband
and daughter. They got to witness the personal hell I put myself through
each anniversary which came by. My husband got to deal with my screaming
nightmares (the worst of which was being in a room full of dead, dismembered
babies trying to piece my son back together), anxiety attacks, and
depression. Oh, and ask my daughter how she feels about her missing
brother. She also mourns this loss, particularly since she discovered her
two half-brother's recently.
I called a Planned Parenthood and asked about counseling. Believing that
since they provided abortions, they might have some referral network for
counseling, I was basically told to pack sand. Thanks, guys. It wasn't
until my mother-in-law directed me to a crisis pregnancy center and
counseling that I was able to overcome any of this. That's how I found
AbortionTV and was able to further research this subject. I finally got on
a path to healing and found out I was only one of many women in this
position. At the end of the day, I'm older and wiser. and realize my
mistaken. Never for a moment, however, do I let abortion providers off the
hook for their role in continuing to mislead women into destroying their
unborn babies for a quick fix. I basically liken Planned Parenthood and any
other abortion provider to a pimp or a drug pusher; it feeds off human
misery.
Not every women is in a situation to be strong and emotionally
empowered, for various reasons. For these women and girls, I feel empathy,
because I was there. Merely telling the victimized woman or girl to "think"
or "be strong" won't work. Easy to say for those who haven't grown in
dysfunctional environments. I am a foster parent and see traumatized people
all the time. Most of them don't recognize the very catalysts which drive
their behaviors. Perhaps it's time for both sides to stop arm-chair
quarterbacking and provide real alternatives then protesters
on sidewalks, morning after pills, signs of aborted fetus', condoms on
bananas to teens, and rhetoric on both sides. Women want abortion like they
want breast cancer. It's destructive, period.
I know I'm on the right side.

Dear Eleanor,
I believe in the age of technology we can no longer blame others for
decisions we make. Planned Parenthood offers abortions, but yet they also
offer low income and college students free or reduce cost birth control.
They offer exams and pregnency tests. Their so called agenda stretches far
beyond the issue of abortion. I also disagree with your thoughts concerning
the standards. They are scrutinized and observed by pro-life organziations
on a daily basis.
I am sorry that you feel that you were "duped" into abortion. You were in a
bad relationship and had low self esteem. What laws were in effect at that
time? Did you need to go home and think about your decision for 24 hours?
You, an educated woman, didn't research outside of what you were told about
abortion? So yes....I agree that PP is not innocent with their lack of
information that they didn't provide to you...and I believe standards should
be in place to rectifiy this problem. I also wonder, were their protesters
outside the door when you approached the clinic? Did you wonder what the
pictures were? It sounds like you were asking questions but if the story is
true no red light of worry went off when you were denied the ultrasound or
became worried about the procedure.
Your right not every woman or girl is strong but we need to stop allowing
people to blame everyone but themselves. We talk about taking personal
responability but when it comes to abortion and regret we are easy to blame
Planned Parenthood. Your right women don't want abortion...so my question
is..why are they having them??? You are also correct that maybe we need to
look at a new way of doing things....but the question remains...will both
sides work together?

The
latest Issue of Celebrate Life, a publication of American Life League, has
arrived (
www.CLmagazine.org ) and an article on page 16, reports that the movie
Bella is being released in Texas, August 15, nationally on September 15. If
you don't get the magazine, you can read the story by accessing the link,
above. One line in the story I enjoyed: "So, as the opening line in
Bella goes, "If you want to make
God laugh, tell Him your
plans.""
This movie has been shown privately.

I just visited
your site about abortion and I was horrified at the pictures of the aborted
babies. I had no idea that is what it was like. I haven't ever had an
abortion but my mom did due to her having AIDS. The doctor told her it was
the best thing for her and for the baby. I know she regretted it and I swore
and still do that I'd never do anything like that no matter what. Your site
really opened my eyes to what abortion really ins and I am going to pass
this site on and hopefully it will help someone out there who is thinking
about doing this horrible crime. Thanks so much for letting me see the
truth.
Sheila
G'day Shelia,
I know how you feel, I was clueless and 'iffy' about
'abortion' until I learned the truth at AbortionTV. There are so many ways
to expose people to the truth. The best way is with an AbortionTV bumper
sticker:
   
http://www.abortiontv.com/Misc/HowToContribute.htm
Or maybe an AbortionTV banner. Of course, you can write
letters to papers in your country, contact polliticians, etc.

Years ago, as a young boy,
I saw some graphic pictures of aborted babies, and the image stuck in my 11
year old mind--from 1973.
Since, I have educated
myself on the subject, am compiling info--and am in the process of writing
on the subject--in what form it will turn out, I do not know.
For years I have
participated in informal counseling, and have been motivated to learn the
computer in order to write--and encourage the Culture Of Life--and expose
the Culture Of Death. Not only does God's Word command that we know why we
believe what we believe, but we are to expose (reprove) evil and error
(Ephesians 5:11, New Testament). I know not where God will have me in this
culture war--or what role I will play in the future--but at least I am
trying to do something with the talents and abilities God gave me.
Despite the time and
resources, I have learned much more from this site--and have learned to be
pro-active in a form of communication that I once feared.
Sheila, I said that about
myself in order to encourage another culture warrior--such as YOU!
It is not enough to learn,
and hold a position--one must follow ones passions--and do something! There
are a few athletes on the field of life that are badly needing rest, and
millions of spectators that are badly needing exercise!
I am greatly encouraged by
the responses on this site--and have become more active--in this culture
war. As a biblical-based Christian (salvaged or saved by God's grace) the
greatest evil is to deny the love of God, and His offer of forgiveness of
evil that we are born with. The evil actions we do--such as abortion, are
the out workings of our fallen nature.
Sheila, I encourage you to
find a Bible teaching--and believing Church, and get involved, if you have
not done so. Take what you have learned from this site, build on it, and
run with it!
In this life, you may never
know what lives you may influence--and how many physical lives you may help
save!
There is a base philosophy
of evil--that sees no right or wrong--cannot discern between good and evil.
It plagues academia (called Post-Modernism) the Arts (such as all forms of
music) and the political arena . . . . It stands to reason why our American
schools are dumbed down--not only are we not able to read and write--we do
not even know what the definition of "sex," "is," and "alone," according to
our Rhodes Scholar, former Law Professor and Ex-President. This is by
design. Sheila, it is my life's ambition to confront my culture, stand and
argue that their is a difference between right and wrong, and it is God, not
the Clinton Dictionary or the Supreme Court that decides the definition of
life.
I hope you and others like
you, joins the fight!
For the Glory of God and my
Neighbors Good,
Roger |
