abortion

karleigh by karleigh Standing(November 2008) (rank 500+)

many other sites are really biast on abortions so im her to tell it how it is.

i should tell you first that im against abortion and i should tell you secondly that i have had an abortion. I will start from the beginging.

I fell pregnant when

my daughter was 8 weeks old to a very abusive man both mentally and physically i had the abortion because 1 my daughter was still a newborn and 2 mainly because i put myself before my unborn baby.

if i didnt have the abortion my ex would have killed the baby therefore killing me and trust me he was capable the second i told him i was pregnant he shoved me in the car and drve sideways around roundabouts trying to crash .

the desicion to have an abortion was entirely my desicion and it still haunts me to this day 2 years later there is not a day that goes by when i dont think about it .

my advice is simple be careful of what you think you want and dont listen to anyone but yourself in making the desicion but you will regret it for the rest of your life if you go through with it even though it was the right thing to do at the time.

Re: abortion

I am so thankful I have never had to make a decision of such magnitude. It was a brave thing you did and it was perhaps the only way to keep yourself and your daughter safe.

Re: abortion

I've had to terminate a pregnancy after it became septic, and it was a very hard choice to make.  I believe that everyone has a choice, but they should do their research first.  I'd never have an abortion because it was an unplanned pregnancy (I love babies, so all are wanted! lol), only if it was going to have a significant negative impact on my health or my family or if there was a significant chance that baby would not  have a reasonable quality of life.

Your situation was hard, but you made the right choice at the time, even if you have to deal with it now, you still made the right choice.  Thanks for sharing.
