It is a mistake to think that pro choice people don’t realize that a fetus is a potential child.
The person who realizes it most of all is the woman who has to make the decision whether she can responsibly raise the child she is carrying if it carries to full term.
JenV said she didn’t regret her decision, but i am betting she didn’t make it lightly either.
I feel great sorrow for those women who abort without thinking it through and then later regret it. But i feel equal sorrow for those women who don’t feel regret but nevertheless feel their own personal loss.
I made my choices, but i paid heavily for them when i had my child and gave him up. Imagine believing you would never see your child. Imagine the sorrow each birthday brings.
then imagine that child finds you and all goes well and still every birthday you get a thank you call for not killing them.
thank you for not being a butcher.
Not thank you for caring enough to give me the best start in life that you could.
last year i explained to my son how hurtful his thank you was in a way he must have understood.. because he didn’t call to thank me this year.
I did what i could for him. but, it didn’t turn out nearly as well for him as i had hoped… and i nearly took my own life over the sorrow long before i had any opportunity to meet him.
And i am a success story.
Each woman’s experience faced with an unintended pregnancy is unique… which is why the decision has to be their own.
