Subject: Re: Confused Author: Heather [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 03/22/09 2:47pm In reply to: Abby 's message, "Confused" on 03/21/09 10:22am Hi Abby, Welcome! It's hard to add anything to what Pat posted; she has a lot of wisdom. But I'm sorry for the conflict you're in and will be praying for a speedy arrival to a place of peace about your pregnancy. It sometimes helps with the big decisions in life to decide by priorities, and work backwards from there. If a larger issue for you is that you have never thought you would consider abortion yourself, presumably because you have a conscience issue with it, I would consider this a greater factor than shifting circumstances in your life that would push for a fearful reaction to abort. Reason being that, as Pat said, abortion is permanent and can't be undone - and many women suffer from this. I don't think justice is done in giving a realistic picture. The circumstances we all face of family, spouses, careers, financial situations - these are all daunting in their own seasons, but they come and go. Hang in there, take good care of yourself, and feel welcome to come here and decompress and update if you like. This board has some incredible women on it with a lot of life experience and wisdom. With Kindness, Heather [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
