[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry, OP. For the record, I think what you did was brave and probably what I would have done in your shoes too. Early 20s is too early to have children, and marrying just because of a pregnancy is not ideal either. I am not sure how far along you were, but look at it that way: terminating at 5-6 weeks, which is really 3-4 weeks after conception, is not substantially different from preventing implantation with a copper IUD for example. In other words, you terminated a very early stage of life, just a few thousands cells more developed than an egg that remains unfertilized/un-implanted. There were no thoughts or feelings in that being; there was just potential, the same potential that goes down the toilet with your period every month. Sorry to be blunt about this, and I am sure the pro-lifers would hate me for using those terms, but scientifically this is the truth.

The world's population is pushing 8 billion. The last thing we need is more children born to parents who aren't ready for them.

I am sure you love your children, and if you hadn't had the abortion, you wouldn't have them now. Your life would be different. Who knows if you and that ex would have stayed together, given that you weren't ready for a commitment at the time. That child could have been special needs and put a strain on you both. That fetus could have miscarried. There are so many scenarios of what could have been. Why torture yourself with those? Focus on your current life and kids. We all make mistakes and have regrets, no one is immune. It sounds to me like you have a full life. Enjoy that, enjoy the present. [/quote]
