From one woman who had an abortion:
“I was not thrilled at all about this pregnancy, but I knew I could never abort one of my children. It’s something I have always felt so strongly about. My husband, on the other hand, told me that there was absolutely no way we could afford to bring another life into this world and our only option was to abort. It didn’t matter what he said at the time because, despite the unfortunate circumstances, this baby was already a part of me and I had already loved it.
I tried keep a positive attitude towards the situation, telling him how we have survived way worse things then having a child. I told him that it was our mistake for not using protection during sex and that we had to grow up and deal with the consequences of our actions. I promised to get my tubes tied so we wouldn’t have to go through having another child ever again.
None of my efforts worked. Ten days later, after being verbally abused, ignored, and basically treated like the scum of the earth, I made my appointment to have an abortion. Part of me didn’t want my child to be born with a dad so hateful. I figured my baby would be better off in heaven then in my own home.
The day that I decided to have an abortion was the absolute worst day of my entire life. … It’s been three days and I have not stopped crying. I have nightmares about my baby every night. Whenever I get a moment to myself, I break down and cry. It’s the type of pain you can feel in your bones, the type of regret that never goes away. I have dropped out of the online class I was taking because I can’t seem to focus on anything but the child I killed. I am divorcing my husband and quitting my job to move down south with a family member. I sleep with a teddy bear at night now because of the emptiness I feel inside…
I am here to tell anybody who thinks that having another child is hard that nothing is as hard as reliving the image of a complete stranger taking that child from you. It’s disgusting and I hate myself every second of the day.”

Psalm 139:12-15. God’s handiwork. God is bigger than your sin (or mine); turn to Him with repentance and faith in Jesus. Then hope to see the baby in eternity.
This probably happens ALL THE TIME. Sad.
“Happens more often than you think”
This happens ALL THE TIME. There are very, very, very few women who actually WANT to have abortions.
But, let me just say this, if my “husband” treated me this way, it wouldn’t be the baby that was dead.
I cannot imagine what a ‘husband’ must think to want his wife to kill their children.
that. and parents pressuring their teenage daughter to get one
With my background I have spoken to a lot of women who were forced to have abortions, but far more often within my demographic the one doing the forcing has been the girl’s mother.
I’ve read that a large percentage of women who’ve had abortions have been pressured by their husband/boyfriend, parents or employer. It’s very sad.
In one of those crying fits she should have killed the bastard. No jury would convict just from the hormone imbalance alone.
thats true. They don’t want to deal with the social embarrassment. It’s not a grandchild- it’s fodder for the neighborhood gossip machine.
It’s ridiculous, is what it is.
That is a myth.
Women are responsible for their own actions.
Fathers, by default, want their babies to live.
He is a baby himself and resents the competition. I suspect this marriage will not last another five years.
