| I had just turned 18 when I had my abortion. I thought after graduating high school, turning 18, and learning I was pregnant, that abortion was my only option. After all, that is what most of my family and friends advised me to do. No one, including myself, knew the effects it would have on me. It was a scary feeling being pregnant at this time in my life. I was on an emotional roller coaster. I would cry day after day because I wasn't sure what to do. Still not sure what abortion to do, and not knowing the horrible facts about abortion, I found myself on the abortion table in Atlanta, Georgia about one month after my after my 18th birthday. The main thing I remember is the nurse holding my hand and telling me it would be over soon, but that was a lie. My abortion is never over. As years went by I suffered horrible depression, anxiety attacks, and nightmares. Every year in August I would think about how old my baby would be had I not chosen abortion. Today I don't suffer from that pain anymore because just a few years ago, by the grace of God, I found myself forgiven and set free from the shame, guilt, and anguish from my abortion experience. It was through an abortion recovery Bible study at the pregnancy center where I was volunteering. As I look back, I only wish there had been a pregnancy center there for me with someone to share the truth about abortion and all my options. |
| Below is a poem I wrote from a baby to his mother who may be thinking that abortion is her only option. I only wish I could have heard these words from my baby. Please Mommy Please I've been here a little while Inside my mommy's womb God made this place just for me To live and to grow Not much longer now Till His great world I'll see As long as you don't let them take me I know you'll really love me Once you hold me in your arms Just don't let them take me Please Mommy Please -- Mommy, please make them explain to you All about what you are going to do How I will be torn apart As the years go by, you will be too I know that you feel That if you go through with this Everything will be fine But mommy I know in my heart You'll never get me off your mind And you'll never be at ease So please don't let them take me Please Mommy Please -- If you still decide to let them take me The sadness I know will never end You'll always wonder just What I would have been But mommy it's not too late yet Can the one whose life you plan to take Stop you from making the Worst Mistake Please don't let them take me Please Mommy Please January 12, 2001 |
