I got pregnant just out of high school and my parents and the father’s parents were too ashamed to own up, so my mother told me if I didn’t have an abortion she wouldn’t talk to me — so I had an abortion.
It was very traumatic and clinical. All they were interested in is the money! (It was) very scary and I felt wrong and I knew I shouldn’t, but I felt forced into it.
Well, my boyfriend wouldn’t talk to me and my mom was angry and when she caught me crying myself to sleep she told me she’d ground me if she caught me crying again.
I got pregnant again 6 months later and went to a Christian maternity home and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and with His help I got through it. I’m still not fully recovered and it was 2 years ago.
I have learned to appreciate life and the gift the Lord gave us and the pain and agony you get when you snuff out one of those lives! I have learned to love all people, especially children! I will carry that sadness the rest of my life.
