[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the mother of 5 blessings I can tell you that somehow things work out and blessings are just that, "blessings."  I have a friend who aborted their first child, they weren't ready. Then they had another girl. She grew up with a great resentment toward her parents because they had "killed" her older sister. Today she will not speak to them so in a sense they lost both children. This new member of your family has contributions to make and a life to live within the family structure. I share this story that was shared with me.

Okay, putting aside the glurgariffic tear-jerking guilt trip -- which is only vaguely relevant to those who are [b]already [/b]convinced of the non-obvious proposition that terminating a pregnancy is the same blinking thing as murdering a child -- I'm mesmerized by the stupidity of your first story. Why on earth would your "friend" tell her daughter that they'd aborted their first pregnancy? How is that relevant, or an appropriate thing to tell a child? I've had four miscarriages and no, my kid doesn't know, because that's not his business and not his burden to bear.

If your "friend" actually exists, then that family is dysfunctional on a level that has nothing to do with their reproductive choices.

In any case, if OP shared your non-universal conviction that terminating a pregnancy is the same thing as murdering a child, then she probably wouldn't be here asking for advice.[/quote]
