The reasons don't really matter at this point - except that they weren't life threatening. They were choice related.
How did I feel? I tried not to think or feel about the pregnancy or the process at the time. (So did he.) Sort of numbed out. (So did he.) I thought that I would be one of those people that it wouldn't bother years later. (So did he.) Wrong. It has been the single most troublesome event in our histories. It left scars so deep that they cut to our very souls. That child would be a young adult now. Both of us still mark time. Age 16 would have come & gone... High School graduation year would have passed, etc.
We never really recovered from having that child cut from my body. We later learned that even at just a few weeks, it could suck its fingers and even had fingernails at the time of the procedure. Knowing that it was sliced apart limb by limb with a scaple while it was still alive and then sucked down a tube as if it was nothing more than lint...
We made a horrible mistake when we chose not to hold that baby in our arms but we still hold it in our hearts. Our only peace is knowing that the baby is whole with God and we will see him or her one day.
Peace be with those of you who face this struggle. May you learn from our mistakes.

I will tell you that I considered having an abortion. Thankfully I did not. I was confused at the time and didn't think I was prepared to have a child. People close to me gave me support and I chose to have the baby. THANK GOODNESS. I would dread facing the pain that the above poster faces now. I look at my daughter every day and am amazed at this beautiful child, so full of life and I dread to think I almost chose not to let her have a life. Interestingly enough, I was pro-choice before becoming pregnant, but I now believe that many, many women do not really give deep thought to the reality of what they are doing when they abort... I know some do, but I think our society in general does not associate abortion with the ending of a life. It seems to consider abortion more of an ending to an 'accident'. If this is a decision you and your significant other are facing, please consider what the above poster and I have shared with you.

I felt sick & scared to bring a child into my life & although I was married, neither of us wanted a child when we were both so young. I made an informed decision to abort & my mate went with me. 9 years later we had a beautiful healthy child born into an atmosphere that was healthy. To this day I know that if I would of given birth to the child, it would be in prison, dead, or would have ended up another screwed up member of society. The chosen child grew up to be a contributing member of society & I have no regrets. I did it for love & many people don't understand what a difficult choice it is to make.
