You hired somebody to kill your kid and now you've got a guilty conscience so you're blaming them, is that it?

Watch the video where she explains what led up to it.

Basically, she had a cruddy home life and drowned her sorrows in drugs and men. Got pregnant at 15. Was scared but fully intended to keep the baby, until her parents told her it was either an abortion or she was out of the house. The boy's parents also demanded abortion. Her father gave her the phone book and said start calling around. He drove her there.

Have some pity toward a scared 15 year kid who was pushed into this when all she was looking for was love and support. Yes, she does have a guilty conscience. She is going to bear this heavy, sad, penance for the rest of her life. You don't think she has the right to blame the adults in her life and the sick harpies at PP for pushing her into this, for lying to her?

I have a great deal of pity for her. So much so that I want nothing for her but that she face the full weight of what she's done head-on and with stark honesty. This alone, I'm convinced, will allow her to (as they say) live with herself after what she has done.

I won't bore you with details, but I did a terrible thing many years ago. It wasn't until others confronted me with the stark and unvarnished truth of the matter, taking away all my excuses and blaming of others, that I was able to repent.

Like this woman, I have since then been able to see how people and circumstances influenced me to behave so terribly. And like this woman, I would like for others to be spared from such evil influences, so they might perhaps avoid committing the same evil.

What I needed, and what this woman needed - and what young women in her shoes need - is the strength and courage to do what's right in spite of influences to the contrary. Should we not en-"courage" them?

This woman has done well to admit what she did was wrong. But apart from excuses, what has she offered to young women in similar circumstances? Why not instead bolster their courage with a statement like this?...

"Killing your child is murder, and there's no way around this fact. You'll hear an endless stream of rationalizations, justifications, excuses, and outright lies about it... That your life will basically be over because of this baby. That your parents will disown you, your friends will laugh at you, and no man will ever want you.

Some will even try to convince you that it's not really a baby! And you'll be sorely tempted to believe them, because it's the easy way out of the mess you've gotten yourself into.

But you know where babies come from, don't you? And you know that's your child inside you. Every person encouraging you to kill your baby is someone who'll benefit from the murder. Even you yourself might be thinking how much better life would be without a child.

It's up to you now. Your baby's life is in your hands."
