dear Lisa,
thank you so much for sharing your story-- for stating the truth I think all women know deep within themselves if they really took an honest minute to look. Your pain touched me-- I had an abortion almost two years ago at 18. not a day has passed since that I have not regretted the horrible thing that I did. Not a day passes that I don't ache to hold my child in my arms. Not a day passes that I don't hate myself for not listening to my heart's whispers.
monica, abortion is murder, and denying that fact will not change it. It is the act of killing an innocent life-- someone who had no choice in how or when they were born. Someone who had every right to experience life in the way that we are able to becuase our mothers gave us that precious gift of life...You could have taken a break from school, had the child, and given it the gift of life and given her/him up for adoption to a loving couple who's greatest hope is to be able to love a child....mother teresa siad, "it is a poverty that a child must die so that you can live as you want." how terribly true.
Lisa, your message brought a little hope into my current darkness. Since my abortion, I have not been able to really live-- each day is merely a survival act. Post abortion stress is real....and it's terrible. Things seem so very dark right now-- you message ingnited the first light of a hope that maybe I can, too, can find healing. Thank you.
