No I've not had an abortion and I wouldn't tell you if I'd had one. That's a personal and private matter for a woman and no one has a right to that information. Good luck. 2D

I've never had an abortion. I would not consider one unless I were in a precarious position and could not afford to raise a child, and if there was no involvement from the other half (a.k.a. man). As I've been celibate 3 years and only engaged in safe sex prior to that, I don't see an unwanted pregnancy happening.
I completely support the right to choose an early-term abortion. I think that pro-life is a religious cause that seeks to enforce a religious opinion (ensoulment) in a secular government, and to spread their view that a fertilized egg has the same rights as a human being. But consider that most pregnancies spontaneously abort in the first three months, and that sperm and egg are alive as well, making the term "human life" more ambiguous than a pro-life position allows for . I'm not trying to offend; I'm merely stating my views.

After my first child (whom I never thought for a moment to abort) I spent the next 10 years being a completely selfish, careless, promiscuous person. I had six abortions during that time. **Its extremely hard to admit that..even on YA. I didnt have any overt physical repercussions and I was such a callous sinner that it didnt bother me mentally. Since I've accepted Christ..those children I didnt have are part of why I am so devoted to God now. I think about who they might have been. How my life would have been different. He blessed me, even after abusing my body and the gift of having children so many times, to have two more beautiful and I mean beautiful children who love God with all their heart. And in my heart, I want to have three more..I guess to replace the ones I gave up.** I didnt deserve it..He could have killed me on the abortion table if He chose to. He could have closed up my womb and never let me hold another baby..but He had mercy on me...and for that *....my soul cries out Thank You Lord...for having mercy on me. **thankyou for asking...I cried through typing this but I needed to say it.

I can only add to my earlier response by saying that every celebration my aborted child would have had, I now celebrate with tears. I know of God's forgiveness when we repent and have felt His grace in all areas - except this one. I can't forgive myself. We are told to seek out the one whom we have offended and ask their forgiveness. Because of my past selfishness, I can't do that and it breaks my heart.

Unless guilt is used as a motivating factor in self-improvement, it's not a very useful emotion. Good luck to you, it sounds like you've turned it around.
