Hi Andria you are right it is disgusting. The unborn child has no voice to say "please dont kill me" thats why its easy for people to forget they are real people just like you and I. Imagine what the world would be missing out on if you were never born, or your brother and sister if you have one! Every life is so precious Andria. I hope you continue to never forget as you grow older IT IS MURDER and murder is never any good.For no matter what reason people may try to convince themselves abortion is ok they cannot avoid the fact it is the killing of a pure innocent human life. Yuk Yuk Yuk! May God Bless you

I am 19 years old, i have been with my boyfriend for 2 years and 9 months ago we both made the choice to have an abortion. At 19 years old we have nothing to offer a baby, we cant support ourselves let alone a baby. What kind of life what it of had in foster care or childrens homes being passed around like the mail. Nobody can judge me for having an abortion, i dont exspect you to agree nor understand me, but until you have been in that position you have no right telling others what to do, or judge anybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Emily.

No-one judges you. God alone will do that, and you will have to explain your actions only to Him, not to anyone on an online forum. However, there is a big difference between judging a person and judging an act as morally wrong. Abortion is always and in every circumstance morally wrong. There may be strong reasons why you and your boyfriend chose that morally wrong act - social pressures, immaturity, fear, embarrassment, selfishness. But regardless of the pressures which drove you to make that tragic choice, what you chose was indeed objectively evil, and there is nothing that can change that fact.

You say you had nothing to offer a baby. What you mean of course is that you were not in a position to raise a child - which is one of the main reasons why unmarried people have no business engaging in activities which are specifically designed to bring other human beings into the world. However, it is not true that you had nothing to offer your baby. You had already given your son or daughter the greatest gift of all - life - and you failed him/her, yourselves, and God when you failed to protect and nourish that innocent life. Someday, when this baby's father is out of your life, and you are left with only pain and the memory of your child, you will come face to face with reality, and that will be extremely difficult. Know that once you reach that point, help will be available. Keep the following address where you can find it. Someday your life may depend on it: http://home.wi.rr.com/noparh/projectrachels.html

I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ABORTION BUT WHEN I WAS 19 AND SINGLE I FOUND OUT I WAS GOING TO HAVE MY FIRST BABY.I THOUGHT ABOUT ABORTION BUT COULDN'T DO IT,AND GAVE BIRTH TO MY SON.HE JUST TURNED FOUR THIS MONTH AND I ALSO JUST HAD MY SECOUND CHILD IN MAY,SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET AT IS,YEAH IT'S HARD BUT YOU HAD A CHOICE BEFORE THAT CHILD WAS CONCIVED.I'M NOT RICH AND I TAKE CARE OF BOTH OF MY CHILDREN AND HAVE SINCE MARRIED THEIR FATHER.SO JUST BECAUSE YOU MADE A MISTAKE DONT PUNISH THE CHILD,THERE IS ADOPTION WHERE YOU CAN MEET THEIR NEW PARENTS.THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD LOVE TO BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO GIVE BIRTH TO THEIR OWN CHILD AND CANT,SO MAYBE THAT'S WHY GOD PUT US IN THAT SITUATION,SO IF WE CANT KEEP OUR CHILDREN WE CAN AT LEAST GIVE THEM LIFE.I'M NOT PUTTING ANY ONE DOWN BUT IF YOU CAN VEIW THOSE PICTURES AND STILL BE OK WITH KILLING YOUR CHILD,THEN THAT'S YOUR OWN BUISNESS,BUT MAKE SURE TO BE HONEST WITH YOUR SELF AND SEE YOU HAVE OTHER CHOICES THATS JUST THE ONE YOUR COMFORTABLE WITH.

-- MARY (JADE24FL@WEBTV.NET), August 21, 2003.

Emily, Paul and Mary have made some very compelling points about what should govern you and your boyfriend in this huge decision you have to make. Your concerns about raising an unexpected child and the impact he/she will have on the parents comes up frequently in this forum. Please don’t let your immediate circumstances cloud your judgement about what is the proper, loving and decent thing to do in this instance.

In the following I have paraphrased what my response was to a similar problem/question from a young couple who visited this forum a few months ago. I hope it causes you to reconsider terminating the life of your child.

Emily, I hope you are still following this thread. I don’t believe you and your boyfriend have considered all the options. With all due respect, you’ve only considered the options that will affect the two of you. But what about this new life you’ve created? What about the options you have available for him/her? What about an option where the baby lives and you and your boyfriend can go and realize your dreams for the future?

I am of course referring to the option Mary has already spoken of: adoption. Adoption is a win/win situation for everyone. In adoption, you and your boyfriend can go on living out your dreams for the future. The young life you have created will get to enjoy all that God has planned for him/her and, a couple who is longing to adopt a child will fulfill their life-long dream of becoming parents and of being able to share their love for one another with this beautiful gift from God that you’ve created. In adoption who loses? No one! Everybody wins! Can’t you see that in abortion among all the losers, there is one that loses everything?

My son and his wife recently adopted a beautiful little girl and you have no idea what joy she has brought into their lives (not to mention Grandpa’s). I can’t even bear to think what life would be like without this precious little girl to brighten everyone’s day. How much joy could your child bring into the world if only given half the chance? Don’t deprive the world of this blessing - the beautiful gift of your child. If you could see how loved and cared for my granddaughter is, you would have no misgivings or doubts about what you must do. The scrutiny to adopt these days is extensive. Rest assured your child will be placed in the best possible situation. What a beautiful gift to give back to a loving God - the gift of a new soul destined to praise Him forever.

Emily, please don’t make the mistake of committing the most heinous sin of all - the sin of pride, by murdering your child because you don’t want others to know that you are not prepared to care for your baby or are unable to be responsible for your actions. Please, I urge you to do the responsible thing and allow this new life you’ve created to come into the world.

Emily could you please do your unborn baby a small favour? Please go to a church or prayer chapel and say one small prayer, one small, insignificant littler prayer before the Blessed Sacrament for your unborn child? If you’ve made up your mind anyway, what possible harm can that do? Then wait for a moment and see if Jesus speaks to you and tells you what He thinks you should do. My hunch is He will tell you to seek out a priest for guidance. If you ask, Jesus will help you with this in ways you never imagined. He is longing to help you with your problem if you will only ask Him.

The folks here will pray for you and your boyfriend as they do for all who go through the anxiety and fear you are feeling. Most importantly we will pray for your child. Rest assured we understand why you feel that things just seem impossible for you to cope with right now. Many of us have walked in your shoes. We’ve been there, and we’ve discovered that it is so much easier for us to handle these sorts of problems when we ask someone else to help endure them with us. Good luck and may God bless you, and your child.

By the way, I have never been blessed with a daughter myself but I’ve always thought that were I ever to have a little girl, I would like to name her Emily.
