We need to think twice before having sex. Be sure you’re ready to be a parent. I know it’s old fashioned but it’s the truth. Why not wait till the situation is right??? Then all this pain will be avoided! A few minutes of physical pleasure is not worth it.

Barbara S what about the women that can’t think about having sex because it is forced, that is mentally scaring for both mother and child to live and grow up knowing, if you was the woman you wouldn’t want to carry this child as a constant reminder and as the child you wouldn’t want your dad to be a rapist and to put your mother through so much, that child will feel more guilt than these women in the video, for doing nothing but being born, you say who are women to end a pregnancy but who are you to judge

I didn’t just have a moments pleasure. I was very much In love. We were together for 6 years and very dear friends after that, until his death. Still, we got pregnant at a most inopportune time. If I had believed that I could go to my parents without being thrown down stairs, strangled, beaten until bloody, my beloved shot dead, me paralyzed or killed, I would have. I ache everyday over that abortion. I tried to kill my own self after I had it, too great was the regret. Perhaps if my parents hadn’t have been sick I could have come to them for support and love. I didn’t get pregnant because I was some horny teen looking for a thrill. I was very much in love. You don’t know everyone’s story. You simplify a thing which is not simple.

Barbara S it’s not that it’s an ‘old-fashioned’ idea, it’s that it’s an ‘just-as-unrealistic-as-it-was-then’ concept. every new generation makes the same mistakes, and all the old frumps swear up and down it used to be different. no it wasn’t

According to the bible god knows what your child is going to be (so he’d know if it were to be aborted) and he can make a child stillborn on the day before birth if he wanted to (so he decides when to put a soul in a fetus). I think the question is, do you trust god because “He will be with you wherever you go” “lord almighty blessed is the one who trusts in you”. I’m not religious, just a reader who’s open to facts/quotes not mindless opinions.

Megab Gooding Not all women who were raped and became pregnant feel the way you do. Some have their babies and place them with loving families. Some have the baby and keep it, knowing the love for their child trumps the evil act they endured. As far as the child born out of rape, they can and do overcome this. Please don’t speak for all rape victims, not all of us feel like you! Killing the child doesn’t change the past, lessen the hurt or always remind you of the rape. Killing the child just adds to the devastation you’ve already been through. God can and does make Beauty out of ashes

@TheTuesday11 Your weird. You’d keep it for no good reason?? If it is a religious thing than please read my quote pertaining to quotes from the bible from an unbiased standpoint on all quotes on abortion and more. You people will take freedom of religion when you can’t pick up a bible… Disgusting and weird
TheTuesday11 3 months ago
Ashley S PS unless your a victim of rape and became pregnant from it, take a seat and shut up! You don’t keep a baby for “no good reason” It’s very obvious you have no clue what it’s like being in those circumstances. Also, the last time I picked up my Bible was today. Your unbelief doesn’t change The Truth! I’m sure you know a lot about disgusting after all you look in the mirror at it everyday!

@TheTuesday11 I’ve never had an abortion and I’m not religious. What quotes back up what your saying?

Kimberly, I see you deleted your comment. But in case you ever read this. Baby would have died anyway. My father tried to kill me for less. That whole strangled, thrown down stairs thing? That happened. It was for no reason other than trouble at his job. People like that don’t need reasons to be violent. But if you give them one, that’s the end. Baby would have died anyway. You were not with me as I cried on that table, shaking and begging God for intervention of any kind to stop what was happening. Praying for the courage to run away because it was surely the only way we’d live. You were not with me when I overdosed after. You weren’t with at my friends funeral, when person after person was trying to comfort me with the idea that he was finally in heaven with our child (he never got over it either, it broke his heart his entire life). And you’re not with me. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Rape and incest account for less than 1% of abortions cases in our country. If that excuse makes you feel better, it’s because you’re desperate for an excuse 🤷‍♀️

“People CAN’T resist their sexual urges, so naturally, the only good answer is to kill our unwanted babies because we as women shouldn’t HAVE to face the consequences of OUR CHOICE to have sex.” Ummm … wait, what?
RandomChristianMusings 4 days ago (edited)
@Megab Gooding Yeah, I like your logic. Babies SHOULD die to pay for their father’s crime. Rape is a disgusting, vile act, but we shouldn’t prosecute fathers. We shouldn’t allow childless couples to adopt that baby, either. We MUST kill the innocent baby who hasn’t committed any crimes. I also agree with you that I would rather be dead than to know my father was a rapist and my mom was a victim. In fact, I think society shouldn’t stop there. Let’s also kill babies whose fathers are pedophiles, druggies, or those who commit tax fraud.

At 8 weeks I was told my baby was basically unrecognizable and was just a blip. They showed me pics of ultra sounds. When I passed the fetus, I saw the umbilical cord, like a silver thread floating amongst the blood and when i lifted it curious as to what it was, there was a small very small maybe an inch or two long, baby dangling from the thread. I placed it in water, and in the weightless suspension i could see a chest, a head, tiny legs, tiny arms, tiny hands and feet. Tiny fingers and toes. Tiny black spots, where eyes had begun to develop. I was astounded, they told me that it wasn’t a baby, but looking down at it in the glass, I was sure they must have lied. Because what i saw was no unrecognizable, it did not look like a fish… It looked like an extra tiny baby.

“fetus” is just a Latin word “baby”.
Bel Mum 7 months ago
Only when we are talking about abortions, is a unborn baby called a fetus.
Kimber Ann 5 months ago
terrible experience. I’m so sorry. you are right. They lied to you. Just like they lied to me 30 years ago.

Why did they let you do that…
LITTLE Lamb 3 months ago (edited)
Not at 8 weeks you didn’t . The fetus is smaller than an inch at that gestational age. It would not come out whole during a miscarriage so early on. My sister miscarried at that gestational age and there was nothing to see. I lost a baby at 20 weeks. She was fully formed, but only 6 1/2 inches long then. You must have been further along in your pregnancy

Nope! We use the term in the hospital too, since it is the correct terminology!! Nothing wrong with women taking responsibility for their mistakes!! 62 million so far and over 3,500 on a daily basis!
TheTuesday11 3 months ago
Linda Muniz taking responsibility is having the child and owning up to what you created. I’ve NEVER heard a doctor call a baby s fetus in a prenatal visit or in the delivery room, NEVER!

they lied to You..abortionists are liars as well as murderers.
Erin St. 2 months ago
@Craig Laycox I think the OP is talking about a miscarriage. I was a nurse for years and we did call unborn babies fetuses even in nurses notes. “Fetal heart rate 140” etc. It’s just correct medical terminology.
Craig Laycox 2 months ago
@Erin St. it’s also much easier to kill a fetus then a baby.

Pauline OKeeffe you may be suffering with yours but many women made the right choice for them, of course there are many dodgy clinics but same with any industry, there’s nothing to expose

I had one and I’m not suffering because it was the right choice! There is no “exposure” needed ! Simply a routine part of women’s healthcare!!
TheTuesday11 3 months ago
Linda Muniz you may not regret it today, but take my word you will one day. I’m sorry you thought this would solve your problem, I truly am. I’m afraid for you when the delusion wears off and reality smacks you in the face. Prayers for you that you will find true peace one day and stop lying to yourself.

I suffered for years after my abortion ☹️ that son would be turning 18 in a couple of days (my birthday, too). Praise God for His forgiveness and setting me free from the agony of knowing that I murdered my own baby. I will pray for you 🙏

@Ashley S It doesn’t even take religion or belief in God to know that abortion is WRONG. I’ve never met a woman who regretted choosing life, but every woman I know who has had an abortion regrets it. It’s murder, plain and simple. Just watch the testimonies from Melissa Oden- an aborted “clump of cells” who survived!! That being said though, I don’t think a woman should beat herself up the rest of their lives… anyone suffering with this needs to forgive themselves.

@Elizabeth H So what, your going to ban cake because of a few people that regret eating it? You are trying to take away peoples fundamental rights, remember that..

They never want you to look at the fetus because their desire is for you to believe that fetuses are not human.

Also because the baby is all torn apart since they pull them out in pieces

They are a buisness, & they want return customers. Their hearts are hardened after continuing to work in the industry.

I was also 15 years old when I had an abortion. That was 30 years ago. The pain is stronger now than it was back then.
TheTuesday11 3 months ago
Oh Kimber, I’m so sorry for your pain. If you ask God to forgive you He will. He promised that in His word, and He can not lie. Please reach out to someone who can help you forgive yourself. Your baby is in heaven right now, wanting you to have complete forgiveness, from God and yourself. If you’d like to talk feel free to reach out to me. Praying for you to find true forgiveness and peace that only comes when God is our Heavenly Father!

I agree! I had just turned 16. That was 16 years ago. The pain is much stronger now. I have four kids now and just think about what my baby would look like. Having a fifth. It just gets to me so much now. I ask for forgiveness

@kelly heubel I finally found a 9-week Bible study created just for women just like us who cannot find self-forgiveness. My brain was swimming with the Bible’s messages of God’s atonement and forgiveness for me. At our last session, we had named our babies and were issued certificates of life, with those babies names and dates of passing. We wrote a letter to each baby that we had aborted. We explained the circumstances that led to our decision to end the pregnancy. Some chose to have actual, formal Memorial services for their babies. I chose a private ceremony on a Riverbank in my area. I threw one white rose onto the rolling River for each baby, as I called out their names. This was the most healing experience of all those others that I tried. I will see my babies on the other side. By the way, I got this therapy 20 years after my last abortion. I strongly urge you to seek post-abortion trauma therapy. You will learn many things about how you developed in all areas of your life following your abortion. You will get so much clarity. And so much forgiveness and understanding. Not to mention immeasurable love. God bless you, my sister.

when my mum was about 26 weeks she was offered an abortion by the doctor because I had an 85% chance of being born with down syndrome. Thank God she didn’t and I’m here now, her only child and she wouldn’t change it for the world! Also no down syndrome! It’s so awful when doctors offer abortion especially late in pregnancy just cause of a risk of disability :(
