Your right to an abortion, your duty to your soul

To clear the air, I don't aim to cause guilt to you if you have experienced an abortion. I want to raise a question that I believe should be considered in our quest for freedom to determine what happens to the babies we conceive.
I remember the desperation I felt when I first got pregnant obviously unplanned. I tried the day after pill but lack of enough funds prevented me from buying it. Shame and timidity also caused me to relent my efforts to get the money required for the pill. So I had to go through a whole month of pregnancy and a painfully invasive and I daresay traumatizing abortion. Traumatizing because I blame anyone who aided me in the process especially the quack doctor. Anything I see that reminds me of the process makes me feel unsettled, like kitchen instruments that look like the doctor's tools or the stuff he took out of me and I sneaked a peek at. I am sorry to explain all this here but I am trying to make a point. I have had a second abortion, one I have no recollection of how it happened because the conditions were better but whenever I pass near the hospital I try to look away and repress the thought that they killed my baby. I am not blaming all my problems in life on these acts but I have a word of caution for girls out there. Abortion is not a solution. It obviously grants relief I can assure you. But IF you get a way to avoid the burden of having to wonder about a whole God-given life by NOT getting pregnant that will be far better. I am writing from a depression ward in the hospital. Maybe cos of those acts, maybe not. But dear girl, I will do much better without these on my conscience. ❤
