Abortion Story 072: Brenda

Brenda* (USA)

November 28, 2003

I am 18 years old, and recently had an abortion.

It is the worst feeling of loss anyone could ever have.

I can't watch commercials with babies, or even look at pregnant women.

I get mad, and angry, and feel so guilty that I killed my baby.

My mom pressured me, so, her being my mother, I listened to everything she said. Now, thinking back all of that was bull. I could have done it, and shouldn't have listened to her.

I feel a part of me is missing, and gone. I will never be able to retrieve that feeling.

I know it is with God, and I pray they only know it was the right thing to do at the right time.

But, don't let anyone tell you what to do. It is your life, your body. Do as your heart tells you.

Abortion doesn't erase the problem, just creates another burden.

I miss my baby with all my heart.

Don't make the mistake, as I did. If you need any advice please seek it before your final decision.
