BeenThere

Those confused feelings you are having right now are normal and temporary. It’s crazy, but the worst time to decide to have an abortion is the time that most people make the decision.

If you choose to give birth, you will find the strength to meet all the challenges ahead of you. I know, because I did–twice. The first time I was pregnant and single was when I was 17. I ended up placing that child with a family and I went on to college and graduated with highest honors. The second time I found myself pregnant and single was after I had separated from my husband. I already was facing raising one child alone and suddenly I was going to be raising two!

Yes, it was hard. But I trusted in God and He came through. My daughter is now 16 years old and going to college. She has the voice of an angel and is already a published writer. This beautiful, talented, young woman is what I would have aborted if I hadn’t carried her to term. I know a lot of women who have had abortions will tell you how great their lives are because they had an abortion, but don’t believe them. You know the old expression, "misery loves company?" Well, it’s true. Most of these women are miserable and they want you to join their tragic sisterhood. Don’t do it. You deserve better.
