Abortion at 16
Sat Nov 30 23:47:16 2002
I'm only 16, and I just had an abortion 4 days ago. I'm not sure what to think just yet. But it kills me that I didn't even ask the nurse what sex my baby would be. It also kills me that I'm only 16 and can't share this with a lot of people. My parents are strict, sister is a spy...the only people I've said anything to is a few close friends.
The protesters that are always outside the abortion clinic didn't even bother me. I don't believe I was killing my baby-whatever reason behind this belief of mine I can't think of at the moment-it's just how I feel. However, losing apart of me makes me unhappy. And it makes me even more sad that I'm still a child myself-yet know better-and allowed myself to get pregnant.
I feel relieved and maybe that's how you are supposed to feel. But from that stems guilt. Guilt that I feel relieved that my baby will not live. Who thinks like that? I know life will go on, but for now I need something to understand this and cope with my emotion.
Please respond
