I have a story that is hard for me to remember, but I hope it may help others make a better decision. When I was 18 I became pregnant and do to my lifestyle I had to have an abortion. The first issue with this is that to this day I still have a problem with it. I never really wanted children but no matter how many times they tell you that an abortion is no big deal they are wrong. The second part of this that makes it worse for me is that I knew I was pregnant instantly. I felt something that is hard to explain, but I told my partner I was pregnant right after you know what. He thought I was crazy, well I was not. I have never felt anything like that again and I know that it was the spirit of that child entering my body. Like I said this is still very hard for me to this day and in my deepest hopes I hope it makes people at least think twice before they make such a decision.
This is the problem with many abortions that occur. The woman is not properly informed about the "choice" she's making. Many times regret and despair follow years down the road. I feel for your position. I'm sure that you have done more good than you may realize.
I will add that I (I am the FATHER BTW) too knew at the very moment my son was conceived. I told my wife instantly and she agreed... That was the only time we ever said anything like that. I cant explain it, most people don't want to believe it, but I just knew...This is our only child, we wanted more but this is all we could have. Several years later we found out we were very lucky to have been able to have him. We didn't know this was the case at the time. For my wife and I abortion was never a choice, it never entered my mind.However when I told my mother in law (who unbeknown-st to me, encouraged, and payed for my sister in law to have an abortion prior), her was response was" what are you going to do about it?"!!! I was shocked. Even more so later when she became very furious because I told her to go to.....well you know...It was as if there was in her eyes only one right choice which was NOT the right choice.
He's 12 now, and a fine young man. They have had many close and loving moments and she loves him very much. Though she is an evil woman who makes it difficult these days to have much to do with her.
Her other daughter (the one that had the abortion) is a real idiot. My wife and her are half sisters.... I don't want to get involved in all that. But she has told my mother in law to ______ off and slapped her and just really done some horrible things. Yet they seem to have a bond together that my mother in law will not allow anyone to interfere with. It seems as though even if her daughter were to kill her...
I need to say, that my mother in law would have aborted my wife had her father not married her mother after she was pregnant...What would there be then?
There is no doubt to me that life begins at conception.
Now to force a woman to have a child conceived by ---- is not something I would consider. I do think that in that instance, she would easily make the decision quickly. The same for molestation...
