Sophie,
Your boyfriend's mom might not have had your best interest at heart. She might've been thinking about her son's future when she told you that and didn't want her son to have to pay someone child support. Does your boyfriend know that he lost one of his sisters/brothers? Did she tell him about the abortion? Did you ask her how she "really" felt after aborting?
The medical abortion is not as safe as the clinics want you to believe. (Abortion in general, is not safe... often causes many complications long-term and/or with future pregnancies)The FDA is now thinking about writing on the box of the medication that "death" is one of the many side affects from the drugs. Lipator and Zirtec were both tested 4 times longer before being put on the market.
It wasn't until 2 hours before Holly Peterson died, 18yr old from CA, that her parents found out she was having a medical abortion. She lost a ton of blood, and could not walk or stand because of the severe cramping she was having.
I know a woman who wanted to be a doctor more than anything. She was 20 and going to college full-time when she found out and chose abortion because she thought her kid would mess up her life.
Well, she spent the next few years keeping herself busy and managed to graduate a bit early. Finally the time came to walk up and recieve her "Doctor" title and hold her diploma. She says the second it was in her hand, she wanted to hand it back because she realized what she did to get it. She wanted to give it back and accept her child instead.
Her degree and being called "doctor" ment nothing to her. Those years of studying and going with out sleep, ment nothing... she realizes now that she only made herself stay busy so she wouldn't have to think about the abortion. So she wouldn't wonder about her child, and cry.
And it breaks her heart to remember seeing her own classmates (who were parents) getting their degrees. They chose life and they still made it.
I was 19 when I found out I was pregnant. Abortion crossed my mind, but I knew I deserved better than what abortion would do to me.
Something came over me. I stopped worrying about whether or not I would make it, instead, I told myself I HAD to make it. Because it wasn't just about me any more, but also, my daughter.
Liberty was born Sept 2000. I couldn't believe I could've aborted her. I think about it every day. She is my happiness, at four years, she cracks me up 10 times a day!
She is also my inspiration and motivation. I graduated last year from my university. I'm currently working on my Master's and plan on having my Doctoral by 2008.
I also bought my first house at 21.
There is so much help out there for single mothers. I wish your boyfriend's mom would have been honest with you about her abortion... I'm sure there is not a day that goes by when she don't remember it and wonder about her child.
I wish she would have told you how the Pell Grant would've paid $5,000 a year of your education for your 4-yr degree so that you wouldn't have students loan by the time you started law school.
Or that it was ok to be afraid, but that there is always hope for every situation! And that the second you held your child in your arms,you'd promise her you'd be the best lawyer possible just to make the streets safe so that she would be safe.
I am so sorry no one gave you that hope. I am so sorry that our society looks at kids as problems. When adults are the ones who create the real problems in life.
I don't know why you're not bleeding. I know that my cousin's friend used the 24-hr emergency contraception and it didn't work. She found out she was still pregnant. The docter told her she had to abort or her son would be messed up and would probably die anyways.
She almost had an abortion, but backed down. Her son was born 100% healthy and is now 3yrs old. He is beautiful!
I've heard that RU-486 doesn't always work the first time. Maybe your child is still alive. Or maybe the drugs worked, but your body hasn't expelled her yet. In that case, you NEED to see a doctor! You could get a serious infection.
I hope all is well.
Peace,
Jen, 24
Liberty, 4
