Have you ever had an abortion? Do you regret it?

Question

I've had 3 and I don't regret them.

As far as I'm concerned the only thing I did wrong was to have unprotected premarital sex. I can't take care of a child let alone children.

to all the ignorant ppl who have commented. i am not a murderer if I would have kept the 3 kids and got on welfare or goverment assistance you would call me a pain to society. and if i put the child in foster care and the child stayed in foster care for 18 years or was abused continually you say i neglected the children. i did what was best for them and for me. they are in heaven and i am going through hell. you ppl don't think outside of what's presented to you. if i could have taken care of them i would have. do you now how many minority children are in orphages and are never adopted. living on welfare and public assistance is no life to offer them. i was wrong for having unprotected sex, not abortions. how many of you have had unprotected sex, i thought so.

Answer 1

I would never have an abortion myself. but i am highly pro-choice.


WHAT GIVES YOU PEOPLE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE HER?

SHE NEVER ASKED YOUR OPINIONS ON WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT HER HAVING AND ABORTION. SHE ONLY WANTED TO HEAR FROM THE **WOMEN** WHO HAD AN ABORTION IN THE PAST WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE FELT THE WAY SHE DID.

HER NOT REGRETTING HER DECISION DOES NOT MAKE HER A MONSTER. IT JUST MEANS THAT SHE MAD THE RIGHT ONE FOR HERSELF.

WHO CARES WHAT YOU THINK. ITS NOT HURTING YOU!

Answer 2

I had an abortion 5 years in the past this month. It replaced into no longer hassle-free to recover from, even to on the present time I nonetheless sense regrets. I merely cried the 1st nighttime, i actually wakened crying from a dream I had. I even have merely had a million abortion and could no longer get nemore yet i comprehend people who have had as many as 5 to 6 abortions. I struggled with the assumption of whilst does human existence initiate and precise previously I had it accomplished I had a ultrasound which I heard the pulse. i think of human beings forget that each individual has to stay their very very own existence, make their very very own judgements and face their very very own outcomes. To on the present time I be apologetic approximately my determination even however i replaced into sixteen whether i'm prochoice by fact who am I to decide yet another.

Answer 3

Adoption is the best choice- due to the fact that there are many couples out there waiting to adopt.

About your question- I have not personally had an abortion, but I have counseled women who have had, and they regret it. For those who answer this question- let me tell you there is forgiveness for your abortion - your shame and regret can be completely forgiven. Some woman may say they have no regrets- and that is ok too- but remember there is nothing that cannot be healed through the Lord. I know that this is not in the religion section- but you really cannot separate the spiritual from the secular.

Answer 4

I have never had one, and I never would, unless I was raped. Abortion is not birth control and the fact that you've had 3 doesn't say much for your character. Your right, you shouldn't have a baby if you can't care for it, but you shouldn't get pregnant in the first place. They give out free birth control pills at Planned Parenthood, so there's no excuse for not using them. You may not know this but having an abortion makes it harder for you to get pregnant later in life without complications, so chances are, you will be regreting your decision when you meet that special someone and want to start a family.

Answer 5

I personally never had one, nor would I ever, since it is very unlikely I will ever become pregnant. I have had a couple of relatives who did have abortions, one, because she was raped by a family member, and the other once viewed them as a form of birth control. The former to this day regrets her chioce, but the latter learned that it is not birth control, and has gone on the pill.

Answer 6

Yes I had a medical abortion and then a month later got pregnant again, now I am 26 weeks along, and I still think about what I did, and I would of had the baby next month, it's something you never forget, and sometimes I feel god punished me for doing that by me getting pregnant a month after, and now i'm in a complicated situation, which is another story in itself, but everything happens for a reason, I could of prevented getting pregnant but I didn't and learned from my mistake...

Answer 7

i dont see how u can say that.i kno that some ppl view it as just a cell or just a fetus. it is a baby. killing it makes u a murderer. this baby deserves a chance to live. by taking that away, u could've just killed the next martin luther king or the next president. u dont kno what that baby could've grown up to be becaue u didnt give it the chance. by being irresponsible enough to get pregnant in the first place, when u didnt want a baby, was bad enough. if u didnt want to raise it, you couldve given it up for adoption. there are so many ppl out there that want kids so desperatly and cant have them. u just threw away a life. its the most precious thing in the world and u threw it away like it was nothing.

its bad enough when ppl have1 but u had 3 & dont even care. thats horrible. i think u really need to seriously think about the consequences of ur actions b4 u make a decision like that.

Answer 8

Instead of using abortion as a form of birth control, why dont you consider adoption? Or think before you jump in the sack with someone. Use condoms or the pill. You should know that you take the chance of getting pregnant every time you have sex. I dont think its wrong to have abortions, but you sound like you're using it just as a form of birth control because you dont want to face the consequences of your actions and that is wrong. You shouldnt kill an innocent baby just because you didnt want to protect yourself. Its not their fault and they didnt ask to be conceived. Unless you were raped 3 times and got pregnant each time but I think the chances of that are slim to nil. If you get pregnant and dont want the kid, consider adoption. There are lots of loving people out there who cant conceive that would give anything to be parents.

Answer 9

Well, this is your own body and you do what you want with it. There is alot of controversy behind it, which i personally wont get into. But why waste the time and money with abortions!? Use birth control! Besides, you may not regret it now, but maybe in the future, knowing that 3 children would have been born by now but you chose to end it. Besides, with that many abortions, you could permanently cause damage if its done incorrectly, and especially if done multiple times.

Answer 10

Yes, you do, you just don't' know it yet. There will be a day, when you do if you don't already. It may or may not have been the right thing to do but if you live long enough the day of regret will come. I am not judging here, but you sound a bit defensive in your question so my guess is you already do have some regrets, at some level.

Answer 11

First of all I think you show no tact asking a question like this, because there are people here desperately trying for a baby. Second of all it is really sad that you are that slow of a learner that you can't figure out how to prevent pregnancy!
