Hi Tracy,
This is my first time on this message board. This year, abortion has been greatly on my mind. I�ve been reading pro'choice blogs and pro-life blogs. It has been an issue for me probably because I realized I�ve also experienced the frighfulness and uncertainty of an unplanned pregnancy. I�ll try to summarise my story.

I was travelling Europe and I became pregnant. I knew the father for only 5 months and I was making 220Euro a month. and had no health coverage. The father was done his studies and was living with his parents. I had no family and the family I was living with, I didn�t get along with the mother. Needless to say I was encourage to have an abortion, it was the only resonnable choice to make in the situation. The father�s family wasn�t in the best economical situation either and I didn�t see myself spending the rest of my life with the father as we had nothing in common.

Fast forward to the present. Not a day goes by when I don�t hug and cry for my son thinking how close he came to have been aborted. It hasn�t been easy, but my son is one of the most beautiful children you will meet. He is very obediant, caring and smart. He is trilingual and speaks French, English and Spanish. He is doted upon by the very people who didn�t want him, he is still their only grandson.

Why did I not have an abortion? Somehow I knew things would work out. I think the most special children are those meant to be aborted.

You will get through this rocky time. You tried so hard to have your third child.

Here is my e-mail quietstrenght at hotmail.com or you can try chauvet.c at gmail.com I would love to hear from you.
