Thread: Abortion

Everything that happens happens for a reason.

I'll keep you in my prayers.

I know it can't be easy for you, and I'm sure you'll have some emotional healing to do after this, but you have to accept that what's done is done and move on. Try to accept that when the time is right you will have a child.

Good luck, and I wish you the best as you work through this ordeal.

I'll be honest. I'm prolife/prochoice. I can't go either way on this like many out there. I believe it is a womens right to make her own decision but I would never have an abortion myself. That could also be because I'm ready to be a Mom. If It would have happened when I was younger tho, I dont know. I know at one point I thought I was pregnant and I thought about it but who know's if I would have went through with it. You can't feel beat yourself up over it. At the time you thought it was the right decision. Think of it this way. Do you believe you could have 100% raised that baby, provided for that baby? Most people who get an abortion dont feel they can, which means you really are in the end thinking about whats best for the baby. Theres people out there that get pregnant over and over and get it aborted as a way of birth control. thats where I draw my line. but hun one time does not make you horrible, it makes you a human. Things happen and you had to decide what was best. Don't beat yourself up. Take it as a lesson learned. protect yourself now so prevent pregnancy and when the time is right, and if you decide to be a mom then you will have a happy healthy baby to raise.

thank you all. it is good to have people to talk to about deep emotional feelings when i have no one else to talk to.

these feelings are still very fresh in your mind. you are a good person, and you are human. i had an abortion when i was in my twenties too. I can be honest and say that I think about it to this day, but ultimately, I am happy with the decision that I made and I know that under the circumstances I did it for the right reasons...I knew that it was the wrong time, wrong place, wrong people, and it was a lesson learned, not an IDEAL choice, but one that had to be made. Would I have found a way somehow? Probably....would I have been able to provide for my child all of the things that I could now? No. Give yourself some credit for being strong enough to go through it. We can't look back and think of what could have been and how we could have been affected by different decisions that we made. You made a decision, and with either direction that you choose you will find a way to make it work. It's all about what you learned. Be gentle with yourself, focus on positive reasons why this path is the right decision for you.
