Said Kelly4c: I have been blessed with a beautiful and delightful grandson whom I love more than life itself. My daughter was young and unmarried when pregnant. I told her abortion is not an option. I explained my past. I took a life in my youth, but who knows, maybe I had a hand in saving another very precious one.

Now replies Jesse:
That is a beautiful post. Way to go both in sharing with us and with your daughter when she was in the time of decision regarding the baby inside her.

And you bring up a very important aspect which is often overlooked. We often cite the negative reasons for not getting abortion such as "Don't get an abortion because it's killing a human life." but we often forget to also mention the positive reasons - like how precious a child is (and especially a grandchild:).

(I don't intend to suggest at all that one's own children are any less precious, but I suspect that a young woman unhappily pregnant is probably too stressed out to think too much about how precious a child is. But by the time her own kids have kids, she's got a better handle on life and can really enjoy her grandkids!)

Keep up the good work,

I want to thank you for your uplifting response:) The last part is true too, at least for me it was, my daughter was every bit as precious but like you said the situation was stressful and my mentality was immature, she wasn’t as cherished at the time as she should have been. I always wished I could go back and do it over.
