Becky,

I found your website after posting my story at msn.com where two articles are running about adoption vs. abortion. I submitted my story there, but want to repeat it here, if it helps anyone. Thanks!

While now “Pro-life,” and having volunteered at a Crisis Pregnancy Center, I had an abortion when I was 23, in 1981.

What About Yourself?

Hi thank you for replying to me quickly and all the help you have given me.  I’ve sat down with my fiance and we talked about the baby, we’ve sorted things out and now he’s happy that he is going to be a dad again. He has been telling his mates at work the lot, my family are getting used to me having another one. The only one that has stuck by me through it was my mum —  she’s amazing.

Imagine The Pain

I read your story, and… I think I’m in the wrong place. You see I’m suffering from the pain of my own choice. I had a abortion from a one night stand. Like you, was drunk and I don’t even known his last name. All I know is that he was the father ’cause I don’t sleep around!!

I regret it sooooooo much, living in pain, I have turned it inward into myself. I hate myself for having an ABORTION!!! I WANNA DIE! I’m tring to get pregnant again even though I know IT WILL NOT MAKE UP FOR THAT CHILD!! I’m in so much pain its hard to live with myself, please help.

I Was Raped

Dear Becky,

My name is Kate and I am 16 years old. Last summer I was a normal 15 year old girl ready to go into 10th grade. But one night changed everything. I was at an end of summer party and everything was okay until I it became a drinking party. I was never into that whole scene and I really wanted to leave. My boyfriend Michael had decided to stay so I just thought I would walk home. When I was about halfway home a car pulled up next to me, and I heard a guy ask me if I need a ride. The voice was a familiar, and was in fact a guy I have known since we were kids, so I went up to the car and leaned into the drivers side window. When I saw him he looked obviously drunk so I refused the ride and continued walking. He got out of the car and told me to come with him. At that point I was getting nervous so I started to run. He chased me down, took me to the back seat, and I’m sure you can figure out the rest.
