Yes I have had an abortion and it messes with your head and makes u truely depressed.With me I really wanted my baby but under the influence and microscope of others I made an unconcious choice to do what others thought I should.Well I was depressed for a long time and angry w/ myself and the world.It changes who you are unless that person just doesnt have a heart.I thought how hard it would be raising a child and thought about the situations and all to tell you the truth w/a little love in your heart being pregnant and having the child is a lot easier and joyus.If your thinking about it please think again.Its a quick fix for the time being but a lifetime full of emotional pain.Children I now know are a blessing.

Yes. I still have moments when I am overcome with a wave of sadness and shame and it has been almost 20 years ago. It is truly the one thing that I regret and as others have stated it makes an impact on your life forever.
A lot of the impact has to do with what type of person you are. If you live for the moment and forget your past actions then it probably will just be an uncomfortable memory but if you are a person that realizes that there are consequences for your actions and you spend time agonizing over what is right and wrong, then having an abortion will affect you for many years to come.
The abortion clinic will tell you that it is just a clump of cells but the reality is that from the moment of conception--there are cells reproducing that have DNA and quickly began forming into a child.
I will also tell you that I gave a child up for adoption. I am sad but it is a different kind of sadness. A sweet sadness. I know that she went to a great family and that she is alive and loved. One day I hope that she will be open to look for her birth mother and I await that day with anticipation.
Some people will come at you with all the religious reasons and they are valid but even if you do not believe in Jesus and the moral rights and wrongs, consider the long term results of your actions.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Yes. I was a senior in High School and had dated my boyfriend for almost three years. When I became pregnant it was obvious that he had no intentions of marrying me anytime in the near future. At first I was relieved when it was over. The doctor told me "it's all behind you now," but it never was. As the years progressed I would think about how old my child would be. When I was pregnant with my first child I was shocked when they put the dopler on my stomach and you could hear a heartbeat! That revelation, that it wasn't a lump of tissue that I had aborted, made my pain increase.
I have regreted that decision, but I do understand why I made it. I wish I would have had some support at the time to help me make the decision to go ahead with the birth.

I never had a abortion. I'm a single 24 year old parent. I left the hospital by my choice without my child's father. I do it all on my own. Although I do have wonderful family to help me when I get tired and down. I have a good job and a wonderful sitter while I'm at work.
I don't agree with abortion unless a rape was involved or a drug problem. Although in the end this is a personal choice. You need to think what best for this unborn baby and you. I wish you all the luck in the world.

I don't think i have any regrets, i was to young at the time, in high school. I am married to the babys father now and as I see me kids that I have now I sometimes wonder about it, but I don't think I really regret it. I feel it was the right decision for me. If the is your problem I hope you will make the decision that is right for you.

Yes... And I regret it every day of my life even 7 years later. You will never regret having a baby, tho. I have a son now and to think I killed his sibling...I hate myself for that. God forgive me.
