I was 14, and pregnant. We used protection, but it failed. I was the one who wanted an abortion. My boyfriend paid for it. My mom supported my decision. I was 8 weeks. I do not remember having an ultrasound. We couldn’t afford anesthesia. I was awake during the whole thing. It seemed like an eternity, but I’m sure it was very quick. It hurt very bad. I cried. No one was there to hold my hand. It was a suction abortion. I deserved the pain. And I deserve the pain I live with now. I’ve received God’s forgiveness, but I do still feel guilty. If I could go back, I would have carried to term, and given the baby up for adoption. Please, if you are reading this and considering an abortion, don’t go thru with it!! Please give your baby a chance at life.
