re: My Abortion Story

Quoting DifferentDay:" I thought so but it wasn't entirely clear at the end. Very touching story. Sorry you were placed into ... [snip!] ... not. Best of luck to you and congrats on your little boy. LOVE the name Ryder, was gonna name our kid that if we had a boy  "

I knew people would have questions and I am open to them. I made this decision to write on here so getting questions like that is nice because I can explain and tell my story. I forgave my parents as well and love them unconditionally. And thank you for taking your time out to write me. My fiance picked out his name too and I fell in love with it.

Quoting They call me mama.:" I'm sorry you had to go through that. An congrats on the new baby. Your story was very touching. I'm glad you had someone to help you through it even it was just for a little while."

Yes it was very nice to have someone and I hope that one day I can find her again. Brandon and I are very excited to be having this baby; thank you.

What a touching story. You are such a strong woman and I applaud you for that. Your story made me tear up. Congrats on your new baby

Thank you for that; it really does mean a lot.

Similar story, but different turn out...

I found out was pregnant in March..I am currently 19 years old and just finished my first year of college at UCSB, which is 2.5 hours away from where my family lives. I come from a family that has always struggled..my parents are alcoholics, my older brother and older sister are drug addicts..my parents were always evicted for not being able to pay the rent, so I moved around a lot as a kid..I even had to miss my 7th grade year of school (but that's another story). As you can guess, finding out that I was pregnant was devastating for my family. My mom took it better than my dad (I think my mom related to me more because when she was 15, her mom had forced her to get an abortion)...he really was pushing me to get an abortion. I wasn't home much, because I was away at school, but when I came home one weekend to visit, he was really awkward with me. He told me that Jose (my boyfriend) wasn't allowed at the house. He told me that Jose's family may seem like they care about this baby now but that in a couple of years they wouldn't be there anymore and neither would Jose. He said I would ruin my chances of ever making a life for myself..that I had this opportunity now to escape from this kind of life. I won't lie and say that I didn't consider abortion, because I did. My boyfriend was still in high school, I was in college in a very expensive vacation city (Santa Barbara, California), we had no jobs, nothing.

Although I know that things could be so much different for me this summer, I am sitting at home typing this at 7 months pregnant. I know that what is coming is going to be very hard for me...my son is going to be born with a birth defect that has the potential to cause him gastrointestinal issues for the rest of his life. I am going to take off fall quarter at the university I attend and go to community college for the fall instead. I plan to return to my actual college in January, if everything goes well with Senan's (my son's) surgery and recovery. My boyfriend and I have began to save money for an apartment near my school and hope that he gets a job once we are there. I can tell that it still bothers my dad, but I walk around the house everyday with my growing belly and a smile to prove to him that I will still make something of my life.

It's really hard deciding whether or not to get an abortion when you have the people that you love and feel have authority over you telling you to...being so young and not finished with school, I KNOW I'm going to struggle.

.I've always been pro-choice, and I realize that everyone's circumstances are different. I think you made the best choice for you at that time, and that's what is important. It really is touching to hear your story, and I'm so happy that things turned out better for you.<3

Also, my due date is October 31st!  <3

I dont normally read abortion stories, as they make me cry. But i did today for some reason, and of course i cried. But a am so HAPPY that you have found a man worthy of you, and that you can experience pregnancy the way it is meant to be experienced, with joy, excitement, worry, and all the emotions we all have when we know our babies can be born into a safe loving environment. I am truly sorry that you had to make that choice when you were seventeen, no woman should. Youre going to be a great mommy, and i cant wait to see pics of your beautiful baby. <3

Your story is very touch and I am so very glad that you listened to your heart and didn't get persuaded the other way. I am happy that you shared your story with me. Our babies are due 1 say apart. I will be praying for your son to make a full recovery because I know it must be hard. Have faith in yourself and your family!

I am sorry that you cried; but I really wanted to share my story and have all details into it. It was a hard decision but I also don't believe I would have found the amazing man I have now nor this baby boy on the way. I will be posting pictures as soon as he is born!

Awww...this was a very touching story...I can say when I had my first daughter I am preggo with my second...My mother completely turned her back on me before I had her...Kicked me out the house...told me she would have nothing to do with the baby and everything...My dad took it lighter as well...But so many people were trying to get me to have an "A" but I was so determined I would not that I made up my mind. I moved out and got my own apartment...my dad said he would take me in but he suffers from mental illness and I couldn't stay with him...I am sorry that you had to endure this but am glad that it enlightened you and you didn find someone to be there for you every step of the way. Never let someone else dictate your life...It's yours and the only thing that you can completey be in control of...

wow, im holding back tears.

i so glad you had faith to go through this with you.

Thaks for your story, it really touched me. I had mine a few months ago, cant even remember which month let alone the date. i kinda just...did it and let it go.
i have no idea how i did that...

but it is amazing to hear another story-another womans account quite different from my own. I really do appreciate reading this...
