Subject: Re: Still Struggling Author: Pat [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:07:21 03/03/05 Thu In reply to: Hope 's message, "Still Struggling" on 13:27:15 03/03/05 Thu Hope, Some women do heal emotionally and spiritually from their abortions. They do this by asking for God's forgiveness, and then if they need to, they go to someone who can help them work through it. I don't know where you stand on religion, but I am going to tell you about something that I hope will help. In the Bible, we are told the story of the Apostle Paul. You may remember that originally Paul (when he was called Saul) went around murdering Christians. What did God do about it? He not only forgave Saul, but He called him to be an apostle! And if God is willing to forgive Saul, He is willing to forgive you. Forgiving yourself is hard. But it can be done. I pray that God will reach out and touch your heart in a special way, and help you to be reconciled to Him and yourself. Please visit this web site: Survivors of Abortion Pay special attention to the last link on the left: Father's Love Letter. It is meant for you.

[> Subject: Re: Still Struggling Author: courtney [Edit] Date Posted: 21:37:11 03/10/05 Thu I Have just recently had my first experience with abortion about 6 days ago... needless to say it hasnt taken years to catch up to me! I am 17 years old and living on my own for about a year now, I have been dating my boyfriend for a year and a half. when I got found out I was pregnant I was so scared I didnt know what I was supposed to do I felt scared and alone when I told my boyfriend he was so supportive he said that it was a blessing and we could do it that he would work his ass off to take care of us! I was still scared, and the next day would recomend abortion that it was just a medical procedure like open heart surgery! I went back and fourth trying to make a decision buit I knew I didnt have much time, so I decided to do THE SMART thing.. I had the abortion!! when I walked into the room I thought to myself "walk out" and I dont know why I didnt listen! in the waiting room there were so many girls most of them acted like they didnt care what they had just gone through with, but I did!! and I wanted it back!! I want it back I want to go back in time and change it!! I want my baby! I cant believe that I did that to my own flesh and blood to something so precious! I hate we woke up and his feelings had changed, he said that abortion would be the smart thing and that I should think about it, well I already had thought about it and it was an option! I called my dad and asked for his opinion he of course said i should do what i felt but that he myself for it and I dont know how I am EVER going to get over this!! PLEASE HELP!!!
