Here are some stories from women who regret their abortions:\n\nhttp://abortiontv.com/Words/truestoriesfrom-mothers.htm\nhttp://www.abort73.com/HTML/I-G-2-testimony.html\n\nAccording to the Elliott Institute (http://www.afterabortion.org ), 93% of women regret their abortions.  \n\nI have a good friend who now does pro-life sidewalk counseling outside abortion facilities.  She regretted her abortion so much that she tried to kill herself.  Another friend who aborted a baby also profoundly regrets it.  She has also stood outside an abortion mill holding a "I Regret My Abortion" sign.\n\nFor more information on all aspects of abortion, see http://Abort73.com

I know how I felt at the age of 14 when I got pregnant.  It was really hard trying times, but we got through it with the help of God. \n\nNow my daughter is 20 and people think we are sisters!! If they only knew the drama I went through to grow her up!

I think the one thing I regret the most is making the decision to take my (fourth) son off of life support when he was five days old.  I was not willing to keep him alive with a possibility of brain damage; there was a high probability and I didn't want that kind of life for my son.\n\nThe thing I least regret is finally getting up the nerve to leave my ex even though it almost cost me custody of my three sons.\n\nWhat I wish I could do over again....I wish that I could have accepted my biological father as my father before he passed away.  I'd been told he was my "godfather" until at age 11, my sister told me he was my real father and showed me my birth certificate.  It was pretty devastating.  He was 50 when he met my mom (she was 20 and married to my stepfather but they'd separated).  It was difficult accepting that I was "different" from the rest of the family (especially since people used to joke and ask if I'd been adopted).

I could not abort a child, although I will not say that other's cannot.\nMy mother had an abortion, and she doesn't seem to even remember or care that she ever did it, it's not part of her thinking or life anymore. Just like another day to her, but I think about it sometimes. I always thought that the baby would have been my little brother, I kept thinking he'd be a boy for some reason. I would have adored him, and have taken care of him, Im sure, since my mother worked a lot, and she was abusive to my older brother and I when we were little.\nI cannot apoligize for my mother and her decision, but I still wish I had my baby brother (or sister), I know we would have been as close as a raindrop is to a flower petal.\nAnyway, mother doesnt seem affected at all, but I am still to this day, 16 years later.

I am deeply sorry for your loss.\n\nI think this is one of the hardest questions to answer.  This is what nearly cost me my faith and my sanity.\n\nI've lost three babies and have no living children.  I have wanted children since I was very young.  I always though I would be a mom.\n\nI don't believe that they die because they are bad or because of any wrong they have done.  I don't even think it is a judgement of their parents.\n\nIt's hard to know who to blame when it happens and you want to blame someone.  And I did.  Mostly I blamed myself, and I thought of a million things I should have done differently.  It was those sinus pills I took or all that caffeine I had before I knew I was pregnant, or it was the time I slipped and fell in the grocery store.\n\nSome people will say Satan took your baby and some will say God took your baby.  So let's answer that first.  It's an answer that needs a little background.\n\nSatan brought sin into the world.  Sin brought death.  In that way, Satan is responsible for death.  It is his domain, and God allows it - for now.\n\nJesus came to redeem us.  He conquered death.  So even though Satan takes us out of the world (through death), Jesus takes us to be with God through redemption. \n\nBabies are sinless.  They go to heaven.\n\nOf course I would rather them be here with me.  I miss them.  But I know that they are safe and that God can keep them from ever feeling hurt or sadness.  They have joy now that I cannot imagine.  Even though I miss them terribly, I don't have to worry about how they are doing.  I know they are safe.\n\nIt took me several years to process everything and really feel better.  There were a couple of verses that helped me.\n\nBut Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  John 6:68-69  \n\nNo matter how angry I was at God, I still believe in Him.  Where else would I go?\n\n\n“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.”  John 1227-28\n\nWhat if it was for this purpose that I came to earth?  Losing my babies was the single hardest thing I have ever dealt with.  What if the purpose of my life is to deal with that well?  How I come through shows my love and devotion to God in a similar way to how Jesus showed His love and obedience - by gracefully facing the trial before me.\n\nHe who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32\n\nIt was hard to be mad at God for not sparing my children when I thought about how He didn't spare His own Son for my sake.\n\nGod was parted with Jesus for a human lifetime.  I am parted with my children for a human lifetime.  Because of the gift of salvation - God's sacrifice for me - I can live eternally with Him and with my babies.\n\nWhen you are tempted to believe that God doesn't see how badly you are hurting, try reading all the passages that talk about God being for us, our Help, our Shield, our Shepherd.  Passages about His love, care and providence for us.  It really is overwhelming.  And at times like that, you need to be overwhelmed with love.\n\nIf at all possible, join a support group for those with similar losses.  It's very helpful to be around those who understand where your heart is.

I am pro-choice too but if it's not your choice then it's not the same. You can't let him make you feel pushed into this. It's a big decision. OK there's a risk that it will be still born of miscarry. But if there is any chance that you will have a perfectly healthy baby then You should do what you feel in your heart is right. Sit him down and explain how you feel and maybe he'll see where your coming from. You need top think about yourself and that little child inside you. If you do abort it, you'll always be wondering if it might have been OK.After all you have already got one perfectly healthy child, who's to say you can't have another? Just don't make any rash decisions. There's too much at stake.

I don't know much about abortions, but I do know about ovulation.  You can tell that you are ovulating a couple of different ways.  One, your body temp goes up a bit (.2-.8 degrees or so), and two, you have more mucus in your vagina than normal.  Some people normally ovulate 13-19 days after the start of your period.  \n\nThere are lots of books out there.  One is "Birth Control Made Simple" by Barbara Cass-Annesse (spelt something like that).  This book is good for if you don't want to have a baby, but also would be very good if you did want a baby.\n\nSince I have only this one time to talk with you, I want you to know that if you are suffering at all from previous choices that you made, there are tons of people out there who want to just give you love.  Many communities have programs of healing from past abortion choices.  Many are run by Cathlic churches, but other churches do them, too.  If you can't find something in the phone book, call the biggest church and ask.  People call about many various needs all of the time.  The best healing of all is from the great Comforter (the Holy Spirit).  If you don't have Jesus, please consider turning to Him with this in your past and your entire life.  Even if you had never had an abortion, there are other sins to be paid for, just like we all have, and you need someone to pay them for you- otherwise you will go to Hell.  Start talking with God about your life, and just see if He doesn't start a new change in you!!  I have already been praying for you.

Don't worry about what answerman had to say.  I think you feeling so adamant about "pro-choice" is admirable and I respect that.   Have you checked with any close by "abortion clinics" if there are any?  If not, search the interent for "pro-choice" abortions.  I'm sure there is someone out theree that can help you.  Good luck to you and God Bless!  By the way, I'm definitely Pro-choice" cause I've been there and done that!  Hope you find what you need.

That's an interesting question. If a woman who has had multiple abortions would decide to take her own life, I think that there would be one less immoral, irresponsible, 'going-nowhere' person in the world. But then again, I do believe that it's not God's will for anyone to perish in their sins. There is still hope for that immoral, irresponsible woman who is going nowhere in her life but into bed with men and into abortion clinics when she gets pregnant. God still loves her nontheless and there is still hope for that woman.

this is a personal thing for me to discuss, but hey, you asked the question.\n\na few years ago, i gave birth to a baby girl that i knew i couldnt afford to take care of. my ex b/f wouldnt get a job, wouldnt help me at all through my whole pregnancy. when i was about 6 months pregnant, i found a wonderful family to adopt her. the mother had always wanted to have a little girl they have 3 boys (GREAT kids) and after thath she was unable to conceive. so i began talking to her on a daily basis, they flew me to the state they lived in to give birth to their daughter. the whole time i was in the hospital, the mother (name withheld) spend most of my stay in the hospital with me. \nto this day, i wonder what my little girl is doing, and things like that..i havent talked to the family since i got home from basic training and ait,but i know, that my little girl is receiving all of the attention, and love that she deserves..both of which are things i could have (and still in my heart) gave her, however there is no way i could have afforded to give her the awesome life she deserves.

It was a very bad choice, but having another baby is not going to solve anything.  I really recommend signing up for the free online post-abortion study at http://www.healinghearts.org  Just about all of the email counselors there have aborted babies themselves, and they can help you work through all the issues you're dealing with.  If you've already conceived another child, the Healing Hearts study will help you get your life in order so that you can be a good mother to the baby.\n\nYou might also want to visit http://Abort73.com and confront what you did to your child.  The truth hurts, but you need to see it.

I am adopted, possibly from a rape.  I agree that it violates the mom's rights, and could torment the child from this sort of situation.  I am grateful she gave me up to a family that does love me. I am sorry for what she went through, and once I found out about it, I stopped any further searching for other family.  There are families out there who want children and cannot have them.  Adoption is a great answer, not abortion.  Sorry, my opinion.  I  am glad I was not sucked down a sink!

Yes, I have some regrets in my life. If I could live it over, I would never marry a woman that didn't love me. I did, however, and am now 55 years old, and have never known the joy of being loved by  a woman. I loved her, and was in love with her, just never had that love reciprocated. What a shame, and a waste! That is my BIGGEST regret!
