I am so sad. Profoundly sad. Every day I hurt. I want my baby back so badly. Thank you so much for this space to be allowed to express my sorrow. My baby would be nine. A lot of people around me tell me I’m stuck in a loop. I don’t talk much about my sadness. Because the judgment hurts too much. I can’t forgive myself. I wish I had been stronger and stood up for myself and my baby. I hurt so much and it has the loss has not lessened over the years!
When I share my story and say “I had an abortion.” some people look at me as if I’m crazy.
‘Men don’t have abortions…’ they may think. They’re wrong.
I was part of the decision. I drove the girl to the clinic. I paid the bill. I waited in the lobby. I drove her home. I tried to comfort her. I tried to comfort myself…and I’ve been trying to comfort myself ever since. Decades later, I live with the knowledge that I am responsible for my baby’s death. It was a contract killing, plain and simple. Her beating heart was stopped because I didn’t want the responsibility. I was scared. Selfish. I just wanted to have a good time, and it wasn’t a ‘good time’ for me to start a family. So, instead of having the responsibility of raising a child, I became (and still am) responsible for the death of my developing child. The lie is that it’s not a big deal…you’ll get over it. Unless you have no heart, it will haunt you. I have many regrets, but aborting my baby girl is the biggest one of all – the worst thing I ever did. I’ve learned to accept it. Through recovery, I’ve been able to heal…but I’ll never forget it and I’ll never believe it was the right thing to do.
Facing the truth, facing responsibilities…these things are hard…but now, many years later and blessed with a son I don’t deserve – I have no regrets about making the right choice after making the wrong one. Just because it’s ‘legal’ doesn’t make it morally and ethically okay. Be the man I couldn’t be. Do the right thing. Please.
When I was 13, I ran away from an abusive home. I found myself pregnant . I was 8 weeks when I found out. My parents were furious. She dragged me from abortion clinic to abortion clinic. I fought them off me ,I screamed. I refused. At 16weeks they took me to Bellevue Womans Hospital in Albany Ny. They wheeled me in to the operating room and I begged them to stop. They all just looked at each other but continued. I woke up feeling devastated and alone. My mother told me I’m glad the mistake was taken care of. I carry this pain. It was June13,1986. I still long for my baby.
In August of 1991, I had a girlfriend who had been legally separated for 8 months. The state of Virginia required a 12 month separation before granting divorce. We were young and spent too much time in bars, then not caring about using protection because “it felt better”. She got pregnant and was scared of losing her adorable 3 year old girl, who had stolen my heart. At the time, I subscribed to the lie it was all a woman’s choice and a man had no say since it did not affect them. Wrong. I gave her the $375 for the abortion and she went with her friend to get it done. She did not want to risk being seen with me. A few days after it was over, she broke things off. Then two weeks later, I looked in the bathroom mirror and said “You murdered your child”. I wanted to kill myself and would have swallowed a gun if I had one. I was only 22. If not for my childhood best friend whom I called, I would have found a way. We talked for 2-3 hours. We prayed together and I found forgiveness from God, but not myself. I think I lasted a little over a year before I walked away from God. I met someone and got married. I never healed from that abortion and it effected my marriage. Eleven years later, I was divorced. This time I found God for real and held on, but I still had that hurt deep inside. It was not until almost 30 years later that I found a way to forgive myself, but not on my own. It took another late night of crying out to God over the hurt that I had done to my little girl. I never knew the sex, but I know it was a little girl in my heart. That July summer night, I was able to forgive myself and ask her for forgiveness. I had seen a movie where moms had named their child and wrote a card to them saying how sorry they were. Then they tied it to balloons and released them to float up to Heaven to them. I did the same. I still have an empty spot in my heart and a sense of loss, but there is no more hurt, anger, or disgust anymore.

I had sex first time at 15/16(’04-’05) with a guy who was 27. Lasted 2 seconds, hurt like h*ll, & I find out month later I was pregnant. Me & my off/on ex had “rekindled” by then. I was so excited. All I thought/talked was my growing belly. All I ever wanted was a baby. I come from tiny family. Just me, little bro, mom, & her parents. I always wanted at least 2 kids. Well 2 1/2-3 months go by turns on my bf told my mom everything (me preg baby not his) family’s mad. They told me they made appointment at Dr. This is my first experience with pregnancy in ANY way so I’m clueless. We go in the exam do test then start talking procedure I threw up started crying walked out mom picked me up we went home. I made sure to clearly & strongly voice my opinion against killing my baby. Her & grandparents then told me I had to do what they said since I was still under 18 lived at their house etc. I believed it. So then she took me to back alley Atlanta clinic mom pays the lady at desk $450-$500 I go get put to sleep got “procedure” I wake up in a mental daze/fog for weeks. Endless nightmares. It’s has been an almost steady/constant thought in my head every single day since. Now for those who don’t know that was an EXTREMELY cheap price. My coworker and I are same age and had same situation (except she wanted her procedure done) her mom paid little over $4000 we got it same city same years maybe 4 months apart. So since then me and father of baby get together engaged try to have baby for 4 years nothing. He was murdered Halloween night 9 years ago. I found out little over 4 years ago I have so mu scarring/trauma down there it’s physically impossible for me to ever conceive. My family refuses to talk about it. It kills me because my grandma wanted more kids but was only ever able to have my mother. SHE WAS 16 when she had her but all she has ever said about my situation was “you were only 16” are you serious?!?! I learned few years ago mom had 3 abortions 1 before me 1 after me 1 after little bro. To them this is like going & getting flu shot. I’m so I’ve rattled on like this. I’ve LITERALLY never talked to anyone about any of this & I bottled so much for so long I feel like I might explode. So mornings I don’t even want to get up or to wake up or even breathe. But I have 4 rescue kitties who I found abandoned 1/year 2017-2021 they depend on me to survive so it’s been my motivation for not giving in & letting go. I REFUSE to be the cause of any more deaths. I’d give anything to go back. I wish I would have done a little research but internet was still a new/exclusive thing in my neighborhood. But I could’ve went to library or something. Again sorry for rambling. Thank you for letting me finally get a little of the weight of my chest
Not much of a story here, but I want to say that I regret my abortion and I want to tell everybody out there that it’s not worth doing. I’m 27 years old, married, we have a 3 year old daughter, and I accidentally got pregnant and we decided after a couple weeks of talking on choosing abortion. My husband really didn’t want to have another baby, we have too much going on in our lives right now, and I knew if I decided on keeping the baby that it would only destroy our marriage because he would always resent me for having the baby. I agreed with him that he was right, that it would be more of a problem on having the baby then on having the abortion. So I went with what he decided on doing, and I went to Planned Parenthood and I did it. We should have had a second child, and now I have to live the rest of my life knowing that I should be a mother to two children and that my daughter should have a younger sibling. I always felt like I was pro-choice, but I never thought I would be the one who had to make the choice, and now I’m never going to be pro-choice ever again.
