[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an abortion at age 36 a year ago and I haven’t regretted it for a minute. In fact I feel happy when I think about it. I love that I get to be a better mom to the kids I already have. It was such a hard decision but once I made it I felt so good.

But I’m sorry that you feel like you have to have an abortion because of your circumstances. Logically it seems like an abortion is the right thing but I don’t think bringing a child into the world is ever about logic. If it was how many of us would ever have kids?

Anyway, I think that either way you decide to go, it’ll be okay. There might be no best or correct choice here, just two different choices that born have positives and negatives. [/quote]

I felt really, really relieved after my abortion too. Definitely also felt some sadness/regret later on, but the number one feeling was relief. I had a college friend at the time who was going through an unplanned pregnancy in her 8-9 month and at a gut, body level I did not want that to be me. (That baby ruined her life btw - she was one of the smartest women in college and ended up tied to a real loser and working as a trucking dispatcher. I lost touch with her; hopefully things improved.)[/quote]
