Abortion leads to loss of relationship

A woman named Mae writes about her abortion:

“… Despite my partner having used contraceptives, I was expecting a baby.

My first feeling was one of great happiness, swiftly followed by confusion; what would this mean to my partner? Our relationship was still in its early stages; who knew if there was a future in it? We were still finding out about each other; I didn’t want to force him into committing himself to me permanently…

I rang my partner and asked to see him. When he arrived, I told him my news: “I’m pregnant.” His response was matter-of-fact. “Well, whatever you do about it, it’s your decision.”

I have since realized that this kind of statement simply stems from a man shrugging off any personal responsibility. Rarely does it spring from respect for a woman’s autonomy.

I couldn’t pretend it was what I wanted to hear. At a time like that, I wanted him to show some emotion. I think it was fair enough to give me back the responsibility, but after all, the baby was his as well as mine.

His detachment only added to my confusion.…

Somehow, the path ahead of me was narrowing into a single channel – that of abortion. All the circumstances pointed to it. I had little to offer a baby in terms of a home or a father; although I hoped to keep my relationship with the baby’s father. So why didn’t I call a halt there and then? I could’ve said, “Wait a minute…”

But I can see now that there wasn’t any space to reflect. The clock was ticking by and I was told, “You’ve only got so many days in which to make a decision.”…

Wanting to please my partner… I listened carefully for nuances in our conversations about the situation. There were hints that an abortion would be best at this stage: he would say, “It’s still early in our relationship, so it’s your decision,” which I chose to interpret as meaning that he saw future for us. Left to myself, I made the abortion decision on an “information basis”, determining my future by sifting the information I had received.”

After the abortion:

“The relationship with my partner lasted another 18 months to two years… The fact that our relationship became destructive to me reinforces my realization that I made the wrong decision over the abortion… He just wasn’t the supportive, loving person I thought him to be at first.”

Pro-Choice author on abortions motivated by “care and protective concern”

Pro-Abortion author Leslie Cannold interviewed pro-choice women, and reported that they believed:

“An abortion decision that did not reflect a woman’s “feelings” and “love” for her could-be child and other significant people in her life, and that was not motivated by care and protective concern for all those she loves, was just plain wrong.”

Before birth, baby has 10 trillion cells

William M Connolly, who has studied embryology, says:

“Time–Life estimates the mature human body has 100 trillion cells. Scientists tell us each cell performs more than 1 trillion biochemical reactions per second. Before birth, the fetus has, perhaps, 10 trillion cells, plus it’s 10 to 100 billion nerve cells, each cell performing a trillion biochemical processes per second.”

Abortion worker comments on Christian abortionists

One woman who aborts babies says:

“One of the things I’ve discovered, particularly in working in the southeast, is there are providers who identify themselves as Christian and actually bring their Christianity into the space of abortion. Some providers actually pray with individuals….”

Pro-Choicer: both abortion and abstinence are the same because they both “prevent” a baby

This pro-abortion/pro-choice activist believes that if abortion is wrong, abstaining from sex is also wrong, because either way, a baby will not be born.

“If two healthy, fertile people, very much in love but ignorant of the ways of contraception, are sexually active for a year or more, the probability that a child will be conceived is quite high. It follows that if the two remain chaste for that period of time, the probability that a potential child has been lost is equally high.

One can condemn abortion or the prevention of implantation because each results in the sure loss of a potential child, therefore, only if one is prepared to condemn chastity for the same reason. …

If those who tolerate abortion are said to trample on the rights of the unborn, then those who praise chastity may with equal justification be said to trample on the rights of the unconceived.”

David Randall Luce. “Potential Personhood and the Rights of the Unconceived.” Conscience (newsletter of Catholics for a Free Choice), July/August 1986 [Volume VII, Number 4], pages 2 to 5.

This person is divorced from reality. In chastity, a baby is not conceived. No baby exists. In abortion, the baby exists, and this is done to him or her:

Pro-Abortion activist: Abortion eliminates “child abusers, wife-beaters, and mass murderers”

A pro-abortion/pro-choice activist explains why she supports abortion:

“Lately the anti-choice protesters have argued that, in destroying a fetus, a potentially great mind may be destroyed — killing an Einstein or a Beethoven.

On the other hand, we might be sparing the world a Hitler or a mass murderer; this is a good deal more probable, for unwanted children rarely have happy lives or the kind of nurturing that produces great achievers. …

If there’s one thing this world doesn’t need, it’s more people — especially unhappy, maladjusted, abused people who grow up to be child abusers, wife-beaters, and sometimes mass murderers.”

British abortionist comments on why National Health Service abortions are dangerous

British OBGYN Peter Diggory explains why more women suffer complications from abortions when abortions are performed by the National Health Service in England.

“Consultant gynecologists in the NHS [National Health Service] are invariably busy and have the responsibility for teaching technical expertise to their juniors: only rarely will they have the time and the interest to become good abortionists. In this context the paper reporting the highest level of complications I’ve ever read about was published from an academic unit of high repute.”

Post-Abortion Woman: “You feel a huge loss”

A woman who had an abortion describes how her husband pressured her into it:

“We had been married for four years and had talked about kids and their names. The time seemed right. I got very excited when I found out I was pregnant. But my joy was colored by a remark my husband had made earlier. When my period was one week late he said, “So when are you getting your period?” I said, “What if I don’t?” He said very matter-of-factly, “Well, you’ll just have an abortion.”…

He made it clear he was not ready for the responsibility of having a child. … I was so scared to have a baby without any support that fear overwhelmed any rational decision I could have made….

Afterward I felt empty inside. It was like a dull ache. I just wanted to embrace something. I cried for days. Every time I got my period I would think, “There’s another chance gone by.”

A few months later my husband and i separated. I think the divorce would have happened anyway; the abortion only hurried it along…

Abortion is a very personal choice, but it’s not an easy one. It is not a form of birth control. You don’t just go in and—poof—it’s gone. You feel a huge loss. And you mourn.”

Women haunted by the sight of her 13 week aborted baby

A woman who had a medical (induced with medication) abortion at 13 weeks describes her experience:

“The nurses showed us to a private room where I was told to take off my bottom half and lay in the bed. When she returned she inserted some tablets into my vagina and one up my back passage to stop infection. Although this was uncomfortable it did not hurt and I felt fine. I didn’t know what to expect after that. I was told to lie down for an hour to let the tablets absorb.

After the tablets, she had terrible cramps and went into bathroom and felt “gush” of blood and “water” and the baby fell out.

“My baby. It was tiny but prefectly formed. I studied it for some time. I don’t know why I did this because it is all I can think about now. It had a perfect little face, little arms, legs, hands, It skin was sort of see through and I could see its tiny little ribs. It was lying just as you would imagine a baby to lie, one little arm next to its head. It just looked like it was asleep, tiny and peaceful.

I felt sick and couldn’t stop shaking. That was when the reality of what I had done hit me. I killed my baby. That little human will never grow up, never laugh, never smile, never run about and play, never learn and all because of me.

I never imagined it would look like a baby. Despite having spent hours looking at pictures on the internet of babies at 13 weeks I couldnt conjure up an image in my head of what it would actually look like.

I said I was sorry to it and that I loved it. I felt stupid and evil, my baby was lying there dead because I want to go to university and we can’t afford to bring it up. That seemed like the most pathetic excuse for the death of my baby….

I thought abortion was the right choice for me, but I didn’t realise it would affect me the way it has. I haven’t been able to stop crying and all I see is that baby.”
