The Morality of Abortion!

[~faerie~]

This is an extremely hard topic for me to talk about, but i feel the need to insert my opinion. i had two daughters with my ex. about 7 years into out relationship he became a drug addict and an abuser, and i was afraid to leave. i was working full time supporting my ex and two daughters, and at the time we were on welfare because he couldnt get or keep a joband i didnt make enough. i got pregnant 3 times and had three abortions. not because i wanted to but because i felt that at the time i had no other option. my main concern was to be able to support the children i have and i knew in my heart i could not bring another child into what my life was becoming. it took another five years for me to get out. there is not a day that goes by that i dont think about them and feel the pain of loss. But i know that i did the right thing. i knew as i was going into the clinic and had all the protesters shouting at me that i was doing what was best for me and my daughters. They did not have to live my life, i did. and i probably should have left him sooner but i didnt. and i have that to bear on my shoulders for all time. I am sorry i had to do it. a piece of me died each time, a part of my heart shattered and fell away, but i dont regret it.
i was raised catholic and i was raised that is was wrong, but i also remember to not judge a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes. It is not the right or the place of the government or anyone to tell a women what she can or cant do to her body. are there not enough unwanted and abandoned children on the streets? are all of the people opposed to abortion going to take in and raise all of those children? Why not worry about the children that are already here and have no one than the ones that are not yet born. It is easy to get on your soapbox and shout to the world your views on morality and how all of us are killers and sinners and whores, but what do you personally do to make a difference. actions speak louder than words. what do your actions speak?
