(This is NOT a pro-life, pro-choice, anti-abortion or religious blog. This is a place to help women who are struggling with post abortion regret. This a place to support women and comfort them. This is a place to help these women feel better, no matter what their decision was, no matter how it affected them- good or bad) When I was 21 I had an abortion. I was young, unemployed, I didn't even have my driving license and felt there was no way I could raise a baby. My parents were going to kill me, my boyfriend had barely turned 18 and frankly I didn't even like kids. I was pro-choice anyway, so I figured I'd "take care of it." I did. And to my surprise it affected me more than I thought it would. In fact I was over come with guilt and sadness and began to grieve immediately for the loss if my child. I didn't think I could love someone so much whom I never met. I struggled two years and counting to find peace and come to terms with what I did. In my heart I really believed I was doing the right thing. Even though I researched both sides of abortion and though many women said they regretted their decision, I didn't think I'd be another statistic. I was ten weeks. I don't even know if it was a boy or a girl, but my boyfriend and I named her Emma Alison. We have a baby now, but we still think of Emma. This blog is dedicated to her and I hope it's a place where women who have had an abortion they regretted can find comfort and peace. I hope it's a place where women looking for advice on the topic of abortion can find from other women, pro choice or pro life, guidance. It's a big decision, and only you can make it, it's true. But for every action there are consequences, some we never thought we'd come across. God bless you and your decisions. Neutral site that helps with post abortion coping= http://afterabortion.com
