I recommend adoption. I don’t think that abortion is ever the solution. There is a family that God can provide for your child, and if you want, you can choose to remain either confidential or open with the family. I think it is important to preserve human life. After all, what if the baby inside you is going to cure cancer, AIDS, or some other untreatable disease?
I also have heard many women explain the regret they felt afterwards. This regret can last many years, or even a lifetime. Please, seek counsel from these women and they will tell you their personal experiences. There are many of these women on this website.
I pray that you find good guidance in this matter. Please keep us updated as to your decision.
Remember that there is always adoption, and you could do an open adoption that would allow you to see your baby still. I don’t believe that abortion is ever the solution. I know it is hard to tell your parents, I was so chicken, I had my doctor tell her. I don’t recommend this method.
Perhaps try writing a letter to your parents and in it express whether or not you think abortion is an option. At least then they will know your stance on it before any pushing is able to be done. Since I don’t know your parents, I don’t know if that would be the case, and I mean no disrespect to them.
I really don’t recommend abortion for even the simple fact that many women regret it for years and sometimes for the rest of their life. If you read some of the abortion posts here in other forums, you will see what I mean.
I pray that the Lord give you guidance in what to do and how to tell your parents about it all.
God Bless.
Well said to both Alexanders_mama and GangY.
GangY-I never heard of anyone else say that about how hard it is to finish your education with the abortion on your mind a lot. That is a good point to make when you are trying to tell other women that abortion is not their only option. I hope that you have found the healing that you need, and if not, I pray that you will.
alexanders_mama-I, like you, have never had an abortion either, but I also did some research on abortion for a term paper. (Hence how I found this website actually) I agree with you that life starts at conception. However, the majority of the world has been deceived by Satan to think that life doesn’t start until such and such time. It makes me so mad that if it were possibly, I would go down to hell and beat the evil out of Satan. I just feel like knocking him out, you know what I mean? The only real thing that gives me comfort is that those babies’ souls all went to heaven and Satan ‘lost’ them to God. For that I do rejoice. I still am against abortion, but since I know it goes on whether we are against it or not, I do take comfort in that one good thing. I rejoice that they get to spend eternity with God and the angels! Amen!
To all the ladies who have had an abortion: Always remember that God can heal your pain. I never had an abortion, but I know that it is not all your fault. Society teaches that abortions are okay. "Live for the moment and if you get pregnant, it can be taken care of." This is not what should be taught. We had all made the decision to have sex before marriage and without proper protection. We have all fallen short of the Glory of God, but there is healing and forgiveness.
It makes my heart ache for each one of you ladies that have had an abortion. I give you this gift, the only one I know how to give to those in deep distress. The love of God, and the forgiveness that Jesus can give. All you have to do is ask and receive it. It truly is easier said than done, but it is an important step in the healing process. Another part of forgiveness is forgiving yourself. I see many of you say that you hate yourselves for what you did. I have been taught that when you don’t forgive yourself when God has already done so, then you are unknowingly placing yourself above God. I also feel that God just now told me to write this: ask your baby to forgive you also. Remember, he/she is in heaven right now waiting for you to come to God so that he/she can meet you up there. It is not over for you. As long as you find (or found) salvation in Christ, you can be with him/her in heaven for eternity.
God’s hands are tied in regards to your life until you give Him permission. Allow His healing hand to come into your life.
