I thought the child would probably grow up with issues do to a parent who made a choice and didn't want to face the consequences and hence a child would grow up feeling alone, unloved, and abandoned.<br />I had an abortion in 1992 at 18 yrs of age. I never investigated abortion. The big thing then was that a fetus wasn't a baby until birth, etc., etc. <br />I remember when I found out I was pregnant with my oldest daughter I was excited. At 8 wks gestation we did an ultrasound and I got to see my baby growing inside me. It was an eye opener for me. For one it validated to me I was going to be a mom, something other than the pregnancy test to confirm. I had no weight gain at this point, no sickness, nothing but sore breast that would have even suggested pregnancy. Anyway, I can't tell you how small I felt when I seen that ultrasound and remembering what I had done to my first precious child. I have learned alot in the years past. I had a miscarriage and another healthy baby girl since then. I can remember thinking I suffered a loss of a child due to my decisions years ago. <br />Anyway to make a long story short I am now a nurse and work in a pediatric setting and have been able to talk with young girls and families that have contemplated ending their pregnancies. I cry with them and let them know it is a loss of life and a quick fix and that years from now they will never know the impact of what that decision will bring as it did to me. I also let them know God provides and what a wonderful blessing a child is and the impact they have in our lives and hearts. Thanks for listening. As always they say Jesus loves all the little children, all the children of the world......rhondanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3019620486329517405.post-17217798029278248532009-01-25T12:43:00.000-05:002009-01-25T12:43:00.000-05:00Great story and how true.
