| 28-5-2009 - Abortions... |
My mood while writing this blog: Irritated, STILL!! |
Ok, so let me start off and give you a little history about my situation.... When my niece was born, she was very small, the size of a telephone receiver. She was very sick and had to be hooked up on monitors in case her heart stopped, or if she stopped breathing... She had to wear this monitor even after coming home from the hospital. We had CPR charts in our house, as my parents had her all the time, cause her mom is a piece of shit....
Well when she was around 8, i told her step mom all that had been going on as i did not want my niece to be living where she was. My step sister, was a very unfit mother, and could care less about my niece. Well that started court and finally my niece was now living with her dad and step mom. She had so many things she was able to do now, clean clothes all the time, and never had to worry about washing dishes if she was hungry.... She grew up, and graduated, got her own apartment and is now living on her own. I was so proud of her, as the start of her life sucked....
Well in March she came out and stated that she was pregnant... And that she wanted an abortion. I was so frustrated, as i had lost 3 babies, and i knew that there were so many families out there that would loved to have had the baby. Or just wanted to know why they were yet to get pregnant, after trying for so long. I knew that there were families that longed for a baby, only to have it end in a M/C. it broke my heart to know that my neice wanted to take the life of this baby, all because she was being selfish. I have informed my mom that at this time in my life, i no longer had a niece. My mom knew how hard this was on me. Actually i was doing research on the babys age and such, which is how i found this site. (which i am so happy that i did) Anywhoo, i also looked up the way they did abortions, cause i wanted her to know what they would do.
My husband and I had even agreed that we would take gaurdianship over the baby for now, and that when she was able to financially afford to care for the baby, she would be able to have him or her whenever. The baby would only ever know us as aunt and uncle, no problem.....
Well why would i be so upset and say i no longer at this time have a niece? Well i cant even face her, when i think about her all i think about is baby killer... why would i think that you ask, well.... she was 4 1/2 months along in her pregnancy... she was halfway there.... and yet she killed her son, or daughter... ugh... i still think about it a lot. With being on this site, and seeing ladies that have become friends, struggle to get preg, or loose them, reminds me that my niece was so selfish..... she had been preg since before christmas, and waited THAT long to do anything....
Diane is having to make one of the hardest choices in her life, and to know how much she helps everybody on this site with all of our many questions, it kills me to know that my neice who had a healthy baby, killed it cause she did not want it to BOND with me, but did not want it herself... Or Sarah, who takes the time and energy to paint her little guys room in the toy story theme that he enjoys so much she would be a great mom, yet she is still hoping and waiting for baby number 2, or even starburst who is struggling with being able to carry her second baby as well. Or raychel, although i dont know her personally, she is a great person also... Has also helped me a lot, her and her husband have been trying for 3 years for a baby, if im thinking right... but regardless there are so many of you, that do not even have a baby yet, or are longing to bring another one into your loving home. And it just kills me still so much to know that someone could be so heartless.... Ugh...
Im sorry for ranting and venting, but I have yet to get over this, and dont know when i will ever be able to face my niece again, and when my heart will heal from this. I know that it was not my choice, but to be that far along before doing anything, just tears me up everyday.... ugh... Again, sorry this was so long, just been thinking about it a lot lately... All you ladies are wonderful, and i really hope that you all get you BFPs soon... STICKY STICKY baby dust to everyone.... and thank you for letting me get this out....

Sunday, 31 May I couldn't finish you blog, as I feel you pain way too much. I totally understand you not wanting to hear about, or speak to you neice anymore, I would do exactly the same thing, in fact I had problems facing my step-daughter who got pregnant before me, and she kept her baby.
Abortions (like formula) should be strickly for medical reasons (including rape etc of course) not as a contraseptive (sp?). Can you imaging how many happy couples there would be if the government put as much money into providing support homes for these young girls to live in safe home while they are pregnant, and support to adopt them out, as they do into the abortion clinics!!
We can only pray, and speak up... and pray.

Friday, 29 May The choice to end life is never easy. Its tough. And yeah, there are many other families that might have lovingly welcomed a child into their lives. But god decides and he decides for a reason. I am not trying to suggest, god decided to give a child to a woman for it to be aborted. a baby is a blessing and god only blesses. and yet, god took into account every human action including sin when he designed this world. He knew what would happen and what everything would come to.The baby is now with god and will be under his loving care and guidance. we must all agree that no one can make a better parent than god. lucky child indeed :)
As for your cousin. sooner or later, the consequence of her actions will come back to visit her. And its going to be a sad day indeed. Perhaps she already os sad. Just unable to find an outlet for her grief for fear of having it thrown in her face that she chose to drop the baby. It can be very tough. If she ever needed support and love, its now. God forgives sinners. We should attempt to walk in his way too. God always welcomed back the prodigal son without a sermon. We should too. I know it can be tough in the face of such a strong desire to have another child and in the even that you know so many others who want a child more than ever. but thats between god and them and this is between god and your cousin. be there for her as a friend in need. try and accomodate her sins like god accomodates ours. Remember god already paid for her sins as well as yours on the cross. And no one is any better than the other. no sin more hienous than the rest. God paid for it all in his blood.
Try and love her if you can. and guide her to god.Much love and prayers coming your way. cpalmer -

Thursday, 28 May I can totally see where your coming from and why your still thinking about it, I would be to. I've seen it from all angles but to me it is pretty selfish.
My mother had an abortion before she had me, if she hadn't I might not be here myself....so that one is a bit difficult for me to deal with....
One of my best friends had an abortion even though she'd been dating this guy for years and already had a son by him because she didn't want to be with him anymore, but then she got pregnant with someone she'd only been with a few months last year, had the baby and broke up with him before the boy was 4 mths old....
My hubby told me he wanted me to have an abortion when we found out about Ethan but I told him I wouldn't do something to my baby just on the chance that he'd stay a few months longer, and it's unfortunate because when I see them playing together I just constantly think....You didn't even want him......he's thanked me for him now and says he regrets daily what he said, and I think he should.
Sorry so long lol! I hope you guys can patch things up eventually but I know it will be hard... Duffy -
Thursday, 28 May I can see where you are coming from and I completely agree....my mother in law was adopted as a baby and she is one of the most inspirational woman i know and to think that in this day and age her mother may not have chosen to let her live....I also think of Mark Schultz (who is a fantastic muso who has recored about 5 albums and he songs tell the most beautiful stories) he was adopted at birth and never knew his mother. on his album he was asked if he ever wanted to find his mum, his comment was that she proberly doesn't want to know him; to which the interviewer replied that his mother had three choices 1. keep him and struggle to make ends met etc. 2. abort him or 3. give him up for adoption - she continued to point out that his mother did the best thing for him, even though she gave him up she still gave him a life.
Sorry this is so long winded....but the thought of killing a helpless human being (even if it hasn't been born yet) for selfish reasons is just sickening
