The more people learn about real life, the better they can understand that it's not as simple as abortion advocates try to pretend it is.Christina Duniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785550737493692252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-6554125772598173022011-07-27T16:48:03.885-04:002011-07-27T16:48:03.885-04:00Christina, fear definitely played a role but sadly...Christina, fear definitely played a role but sadly I will forever feel I was incredibly selfish. The thought of carrying around MY baby for 9 months, feeling it alive and moving inside me, only to give it away forever seemed too painful and I simply didn‘t want to subject myself to that kind of grief. At the time an abortion seemed like a quick fix, I’d have a procedure and simply move on with my life. And I think that’s what a lot of women today still believe because our pro choice society wants to believe it’s true. We’re not educating women on the truth - pregnancy is life-altering, regardless of the outcome. Abortion is not a quick resolution but a life-changing decision that can bring with it years of torment. In other words, I don’t see my decisions being short-sighted but simply uneducated. Hope that makes sense.

During our discussions, I brought up the subject of adoption. His comment was "Oh, I couldn't let someone else raise my child." After he was not willing to hear about a beautiful adoption story and/or trying to save his wife and child from abortion (By the way, this was his second aborted child from another woman), I finally said to him in a loving but stern voice, "Let me get this straight through your logic. You wouldn't want to see your child get a chance in life with other loving parents that would truly want your baby to get a chance to succeed in life with all the opportunities that life has to offer, but you could easily live with the fact that your dead babiy will now be in a garbage dumpster with other wastes." I looked at the evil subject straight in the eye and I challenged it to this young man.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09589755258855693059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-21306030180822226562011-07-27T13:28:32.434-04:002011-07-27T13:28:32.434-04:00Hugs, Faith, but also a question: Were you really ...Hugs, Faith, but also a question: Were you really being selfish?

I’ve had 2 abortions and when asked if I ever thought of adoption I’ve always said the same thing, “after carrying ‘my’ babies around for 9 months I would never have been able to give them up.” It’s become so clear to me that my unplanned pregnancies were not unwanted. I wish I had been less selfish and more selfless!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129430894728019690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-16507464806967780652011-07-27T09:07:20.716-04:002011-07-27T09:07:20.716-04:00"If an unwanted pregnancy really meant an unw..."If an unwanted pregnancy really meant an unwanted baby, she'd hand the kid over with never a tear, only a huge sigh of relief. The fact that placing the baby for adoption is such an agonizing thing is predicated on the reality that by the time the baby arrives, it usually is wanted -- by the mother who considered aborting it in the first place!" -- Exactly right! This is such a wonderful way of looking at this problem. Thank you!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118292622669944944noreply@blogger.com
