I was already Pro Life – I had an abortion at 16 and was plagued with the guilt and shame of that decision for years. I almost aborted my 2nd child 7 years later (same father), but when the Dr. entered the room I was crying hysterically (I wanted my baby so bad – a ached to hold the one I had aborted); the Dr. said he could not perform the abortion (thank God I was at my Gynocologist’s office and not Planned Parenthood-like when I was 16). The Dr. asked if my boyfriend was in the waiting room…he went and talked w/my boyfriend (only a few minutes), and then both of them entered the room and my boyfriend looked at me and said, “We’re going to keep our baby.” That baby is now a 23 year old man!!! My husband and I have been married for 24 years now and have a total of 4 beautiful children!! I am so very thankful that I was able to get pregnant and carry to term all 4, given what I know now. These pictures are a reminder of the horrible decision we made 32 years ago
