i had an abortion. i did it coz the baby wasn't my husband's. We were going through separation at that time and i din need the complications. I already have 2 kids and was worried that the finances won't work out with a 3rd kid should the divorce pulls through. I make minimum wage and was gonna go back to school.
It's been slightly over a year. I dun feel remorseful for having done the abortion but i have made a vow never to have another kid. Sometimes i think about the baby and feel a little sad. I know I will go to hell for it. I dunno what i can do to make amends to the baby and to God. I don't want to go to hell.

It's clear that you have some remorse or you wouldn't have posted this question.
The answer, is Jesus has promised us that he will forgive us of our sins if we just ask with a humble heart. He didn't specify how large or small your sins could be.
You don't have to go to hell.

You must ask God for forgiveness and you must forgive yourself. You have repented in that you have vowed never to do it again. Invite Christ into your heart right now and ask him to forgive you. You need to admit that what you did was wrong. God will forgive you, but you must put that life behind you forever and adopt a new life in Christ. You need to show God that you mean business with him. Do not treat this lightly---God looks at your heart and cannot be swayed by words. It is easy to say one thing and mean another. Say what you mean to God---do not just go through the motions of forgiveness, but live that forgiveness. Bless you for coming forward with this. Jesus loves you.

Relax,the child was not ready to be born.The baby chose you because it knew it would be aborted.The soul involved was not quite ready for a full experience in physical reality,it only wanted a sample.If you had not made your decision,it would have chosen miscarriage.I do not condone abortion,but I do not condemn it either.You are not going to hell,but don't forget the sacredness of Life.

Go to a priest and open your heart and soul to Jesus Christ. It doesn't matter if you are Catholic or not. Everyone is allowed to receive the Grace of Christ in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Let the priest know that you are not Catholic but want to talk about the situation. Everything said is strictly confidential and never revealed.
So, go and release all you feel inside to Christ.

You're already living in hell. You are remorseful for what you did & that will stay with you always, but don't think about it & think about all of the good things that you have in your life, because God forgives all if you are truly remorseful, which you are.

God's forgiveness and grace is for everyone. There are stories in the Bible of God forgiving people after they did many wrongs, even murder. Look at David who killed a man to get his wife and in the end he begged God for forgiveness and God gave it to him and God even called him a man after his own heart. I would like to share a book with you called; "Assurance: Justification Made Simple" by Doug Batchelor.

listen my daughter, the bible says....in time of ignorance god over-looks. the deed is done already, u have murdered an innocent baby. u should have given birth to the baby and then hand it over to motherless babies-home in ur country. that kid might be god-sent to comfort u i future, he might turn out to be a wealthy star or a celebrated-celebrity in future. any way its now by gone. ----this is what i will like u to do immidiatly. first kneel down and pray like this...heavenly father pls forgive me for this abortion, im immensely sorry lord for my mistakes. wash me with the blood of our our lord jesus christ.lord jesus come into my heart tday and rconcile me with thy father and my father, pls write my name in the book of life, blot away my inquities, all this i ask in jesus name. amen.....after this prayers, kindly stand up and be happy cos u have been automatically forgiven. this is because the bible says there is no sin too much for god to forgive. god forgave apostle paul who murdererd many xtains and also david who commited first class murder. so if our compassionate god can forgive these people, believe me u are forgiven. im an evangelist, u are not going to hell if u do sincerly what i have just instructed u to do.bye .

Luv, you wont go to hell, seriously, dont think like that.
You know, I dont care what anyone says, but you know inside it was wrong and you have learnt and that is what life is about, experiencing and learning. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Know God forgives you okay and you wont go to hell, it does not exist. I know you have your own beliefs for you to put those things in your question. But my belief is that you must think whats done is done, its natural to think elsewise but know you aint going to hell okay. Even the baddest of bad made it back to the Creator for life is about experiencing and learning from our mistakes. It goes much deeper than that of course, but know that little soul is always around you.

You have to grieve properly for your lost baby and then try to move on. You must concentrate on getting over your loss and looking after your two living children. God forgives those who truly ask for forgiveness.

You know the true meaning of repent? It means being totally sorry for what you done.... It seems to me you do regret this and if you will just simply ask Jesus to forgive you and live for him you will have peace in your mind.. Remember God said he will remember your sins no more if you ask for forgiveness.
