8. I know how it feels after choosing an abortion

I am 58 now, but when I was 17 , I had an abortion. During that time no one was advocating for my child even my own parents. So I had it and it never bothered me until I became a born again Christian in the 80's. I now live with the thorn in my side knowing that God has forgiven me for this choice. I would not want to laid this burden on any young woman. Now, I would advocate to keep the child. That being said, I understand the problem with young women,who are scared, may want to terminate.

Pro-life is both lives ,mother and child, and with the end of roe vs wade we could see many women and girls die in the hands of illegal abortionists. The fact is even legitimate doctors will perform this procedure and did so before Roe/wade. Ultimately, it is the woman's choice and she has to live with her decision just like I do.
