Feel help: I have had an abortion. - Help.com

why did you have an abortion if you don’t mind me asking?

Rebek, you made me feel bad, just wanted to see the feeling of others…a dishonest post on my part, but thought it needed to be discussed…Should have worded it differently….my bad…

noooo i did not mean to make you feel bad i just wanted to know why sorry

I had an abortion when I was 18. I do not feel guilt because I have forgiven myself. My beliefs may be different than yours but I believe God works through us. So if I forgive myself God has forgiven me.

I was 7 weeks along when I had mine. I do not see it as a baby yet. I know many people argue this and I will not argue with anyone because they have a right to their opinion and I have a right to mine.

Here is a poem I wrote about it years ago.

The child that never was

What would my life be if you were a child?

Would I have went to school?

Would I have left the man who would of been your father?

Would I have met my husband?

Would I have my children?

Would I have found GOD?

I am thankful you were never a child.

For If you were, I would not have had my life.

I hope this helps in some way. It may seem selfish to some people and that is ok. Others will understand and know.

Agreed..if you ask for forgiven, it is done…so many young people are guilt-ridden about an abortion and they should not be….They can be forgiven…so many people have this mind-set that Christians are perfect and far from it..Jesus saw our weakness and this why he came back to Earth and died for people’s sin. Thank goodness for the New Testament.

All is forgiven… when you can you forgive yourself. God endowed us all with free will; but when do we begin? At the moment of conception, birth or somewhere in between? The truth is we can not know, but God does. The termination of a pregnancy is not the termination of a Soul. Just like when you or I die it will not be the end of us. Have faith that you are forgiven; allow yourself to accept that forgivness and take steps to insure you never have to subject yourself to anything like this again. Peace and blessings… :-]

I had an abortion at 16 and have/had/never had any guilt
and who cares if god doesnt forgive you he’s not real anyway

Everyone has their outlook on life. Your outlook is respected. Certainly not here too judge, just saying what I believe to be true!

sounds expensive

i had an abortion when i was 13, i know some people believe abortions to be wrong, but not one person on this planet can have a negitive oppinion on this subject untill they are faced with that decision!! i had to make this decision and go through it all on my own, it is something that you can forgive yourself for but something that will never leave you.
if i had, had the baby it would be 10 years old by now… only 3 years untill it would have been the same age i was when it was conceved!!! really scary!! i dont

believe in god…. where was he when i needed him eh?….

if you don’t believe in god, why ask where he was?
