Ladies...Do You Regret your abortion?

I hope no body who has an abortion regrets - as that is one thing that can not be reversed - make up your mind before you do it - some are done for very good reasons - it should not be used as a birth control but if that's what it's come to than so be it- guys(mine) view

I don't think an abortion is something you should try on your own... Please seek some medical advice on this.

Here again It's my body and my choice. If my religion decrees that I don't have an abortion and I am a religious person then whom is anybody to tell me that I should have an abortion? As for the men they should have a voice in the subject matter when they can carry a baby for nine months. Then go into labor for it. \nYou know the worst that can happen to a man if the woman decides to have a baby and keep it is they have to support it for the next 18 years.\nWith the woman she has to make a moral decision rather or not to have the baby. IF she decides to have it and keep it. Then she has to raise it and support it too. Just cause daddy gives some money doesn't mean it's covering all the expense. \nSo until you can sac rife as much as a woman does then forgot having a voice.

I, being an older, more conservative individual, can answer this one. I use to be a whole lot more liberal. For example If a female wanted to give birth or have an abortion so be it. Till I had the responsibility of my own. I was given the privilege of bringing in my youngest son. That is right, I delivered him with a doctor standing by all the time. You can SAY anything you want to in America its your right. But once you DO something it changes your perspective of life. I have met and talked to women who have told me they regret having had an abortion. The abortion issue is just one example I use. I in no uncertain way am a bible thumping clinic burning psychotic.\nSo to answer your question LIFE as you are living it makes you more conservative. If you have something to loss you are more apt to fight for it then to liberally let it go.

I am a Christian. I think abortion is completely and totally wrong. Its the same as murder. Once a baby is concieved, it is a human being, not just tissue. I also will tell you and every one else out tere, after a girl has had an abortion, she will most likey regret it the rest of her life, because that was a life. That baby could have become a president or someone who made a big difference in the world. Hope this helps out.   JesusSaves\nDo the same for the baby

Yes, I did regret it.\n\nI think sometimes I wanted to be in love so badly that I was in love with love.\n\nAlso, I think, looking back on it, I did not really love him even though I wanted to. Then I felt I had to be honest and tell him that I did not love him. This made me feel bad because I felt like I was a liar (even though I wasn't). Also, I felt like a fool - retracting what I said - like as if I didn't know my own mind and as if I was so mixed up and confused, I don't know what love is.

It is a very tough situation going through an abortion. There is the natural pain for about two days but the biggest pain is with-in yourself.  I talk from experience, and I’m the guy in the situation and can only feel for the pain that my partner had gone through (and still goes through). For you see we were in a very tight situation in no way able to take care of a child and even the process of adoption would have ruined what chances of life advances we could make. There is a natural tendency to second guess what you are about to do, also there is the natural tendency to reaffirm why you need to go through with the abortion.\n\nI can not and will not preach if abortion is right or wrong, that is your own personal beliefs. But do know that there is severe psychological trauma that can occur. We did what you are doing right now, looking for advise and doing allot of research on the subject and sadly this little fact has been hidden by Pro-Choice for obvious political reasons. It’s been two years since the abortion and it haunts me everyday in one way or another. Here is a web site that helps people who have gone through abortions. I can tell you from my experience that what they say is the truth.\n\nhttp://www.hopeafterabortion.com/hope.cfm?sel=A31Q\n\nThe girl and I broke up a little over a year after having the abortion, I credit a good portion of our break-up to it.  It is a very heavy burden to carry and in the end the choice in any way you go is going to be tough . . . what you may be trying to protect, you'll probably loose anyway.

The hardest choice I ever made was should I abort the child I was carrying or carry it to term and raise it. I already had a 2 yr.ild and I was 18 yrs.old. I was single still as well.My mom said if I got pregnent again I was out the door so I was really scared.Finally I told my mom and I asked her if she thought I should have an abortion? She said I was already pregnent so i might as well keep it. I didnt think about an abortion after that although I really dont think i would have been able to go through with it(im prochoice though) And I am so glad I did not. My son is now 15yrs old and he is the joy of my life. I hate to think now how close I came to not having him. I just couldnt imagine life without him.

God is pure love forgiving and kind. I believe that a soul will know it will be aborted Life is about learning and finding your own true spirit. Abortion is not killing. I also believe the soul is reborn again either with the mother or the father or someone else. The other side is pure love and grace. It is society that creates the guilt and shame on this women. they get over the abortion because God is powerful. But society choose to find fault. People need to look at them selves and there life before judging. Remember He who cast the first stone be with out sin. Our biggest lesson in life is learn to love ourselves and other and learn that God is in control and we our not. Making the choice to have an abortion is the hardest decision for almost any young lady or women to make. So we need to stop judging and learn to love, focus on your life with love and care. God bless!

I got pregnant at 17 I was already out on my own. The father of my child told me to get an abortion. For me he aborted his parental rights in that moment. I chose to keep my baby. I had no family and no partner. I got very sick and had to quit my job to keep my baby. I ended up going  on welfare to pay my bills and for medical insurance. My baby was born sick but I kept at it. I worked with him. When he was 6 months I dropped my welfare assistance and found a job. I support my son on my own for the first 6 years of his life. Anyone that lays down and gets pregnant should do so knowing that they may become a parent and they may end up having to support a child. I am pro-choice but not for me. Having an abortion can do just as much damage to a young girls mind as having to have the child and figuring out a way to support it. My son is 16 now and I am so glad I made the right choice. He scores in the top 5% of kids in his grade in the nation on standardized testing. He is a great athlete.He also is involved in animal rights and I am sure he is going to contribute a lot of good to this world. The world would have lost a lot if I chose abortion over struggle.\nLove & Light\nSharon\nOne Planet = One People

Hi are you talking about abortion as in getting rid of a baby? well if you are coming from someone who has had 2 it has it's pro's and con's it is helpfull if you are too young and not at all ready for a child but it can also have some very bad emotional effects and cause depression that is what happened to me. There is also the factor that it can cause infertility if you get a very bad infection which is highly possible if the instruments are not clean. At the end of the day it is a personal decission but i wouldn't reccommend it to anyone. Hope this helps
