Here is a few of my life experiences on this subject. I am a product of a one night stand. My parents decided to keep me and get married, through a difficult time, they grew to love each other very deeply and would have been married almost 50 years if my father hadn’t died of cancer. My mother never remarried and still misses him daily.
I worked at Hertz rent a car data center for many years. I made friends with a girl there that was different, other women shunned her. I don’t know why except she talked a lot and wore thick glasses. She was sweet though, she reminded me of my mother. Her husband was rude and verbally abusive. She would make excuses for him. He told her he didn’t love her anymore and left her. She was devastated and tried to move on. She went on vacation and met a guy, slept with him and got pregnant. The guy didn’t want the child or her so she aborted it. She called me in the process of taking a night after pill, I didn’t know what to say. There was nothing I could do. Her former husband found out and committed suicide.
My husband and I were married when we were 18 and 19 years old, we didn’t have to get married. We didn’t have children until we were 24 and 25. I wasn’t ready still at that age and didn’t take care not to abort the child I was carrying by over exerting myself and lost it. My husband was devastated. I didn’t know the ramifications of what I had done until afterward. We quickly tried again and had a beautiful son. Then two more within three years. When I got pregnant with the 4th, I was exhausted. I had a bad cold and took cold medicine not caring if it effected the baby. My body painfully aborted it. That not only affected my husband to the point that he got a vasectomy, my sons for the loss of a sibling that never was but shame that has never left me. Our sons are extremely successful. What the world could have also lost by my selfish act is forever unknown.
My husband’s brother in the mean time got a girl pregnant out of wedlock. It was a new relationship, they were in high school. His father was a prominent figure in the community so they decided to abort the child. Then he lied about it and blamed someone else for 35 years. He came clean after he was admitted to a psyc ward. We knew he had taken his girlfriend to have the abortion but not that it was his. They broke up, he tried to shoot himself with a riffle and had a life in and out of treatment centers. Highly medicated most of the time which caused his parents unending years of struggles.
I see no good outcome from abortion only lasting consequences. It should forever come to a end for public health and our future. God forgive us. Psalms 127….
“Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.”
