I had an abortion because if my father knew he would have killed me. Forty years and I still cry. And I have three children, but hurt and miss my first baby that I really wanted.
During the procedure, I was very mentally upset and actually felt nothing. I was not aware of what I was really doing since I felt that it was OK since it was only a few weeks since I missed my period. I went to Catholic grammar and high school and was never taught about the life I was carrying. I was never told in high school, a very good high school in New York City that was from St. Patrick Cathedral, about abortion and how it could make you hurt forever.
I can only say that no matter how many more children you have, the one you killed is on your mind and heart the most every day and forever – only you don’t have the love of the child and you don’t have the ability to give the child love.
