I have always been pro life, but when faced with medical conditions for both my fetus and myself, and 2 young medically problemed children at home, I chose to end my pregnancy at 8 weeks. This pregnancy was not planned, and I was actually protected against pregnancy, which obviously did not work. I began to adjust my thinking, while still being pro life, I then adopted the thinking that it is still a woman’s right to choose, as she comes to the choices at her own emotional sacrifice. This July 11th will be 8 years since I said good bye to my baby,and I still cry frequently and sink into a depression every year around the anniversary of the procedure. The graphic videos and pictures have destroyed me. I think for someone considering an abortion, they can be helpful, but for someone living with the aftermath, it is psychologically damaging. I began looking at this site as research for a controversial college paper, and wound up crying my eyes out.
