When I was about 14 weeks pregnant, I got scared out of my wits and decided I would abort my child. I had gotten the money together, and I had the appoinment set up and all. Well, that morning when we got ot the building, there were abortion protestors outside with pictures of charred bodies and ripped apart fetuses. All of a sudden, I was like, "wait a minute, how can I do this? What will she look like? How could I influence her life?" So, I was about to get out of the vehicle and suddenly I said, "I can't do this" I was just so scared of the way the fetuses looked and miserable thinking that I may one day wonder how she grew up. (at the time, I just assumed it was a girl). Well, now, my son is 3 months old and is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I'm scared about whether I'll ever have to tell him I almost aborted him and what he'll think of me then. I love him more than anything else in the world, and I 100% regret ever thinking about aborting him.

I used to be a diehard pro-choicer. I ran fundraisers for numerous pro-choice organisations. I never really researched any of the claims of the pro-life community because I just thought like everyone else, that it's just a bunch of tissue until about 4 or 5 months. Being very ambitious, I swore that I would get an abortion if I ever got pregnant. Nothing was going to keep me from attaining my goals and dreams. Well, now that I am living in Asia, I have seen the tragedy of abortion and stem-cell research... I cried all weekend, several weeks ago, after I saw the videos on the site and at abort73.com. You must know that I was very involved in the abortion industry and did most of my dissertations around abortion and pro-choice issues for my degree in Political Science and Women's Studies. But those days are over. I will now use my international affairs talents to help save lives and bring enrichment to everyone around the world. I am adopted, so I am glad there were people around to help my birthmum not to get rid of me. I love my life, despite the many trials I have had to go through. I realise now that we shouldn't judge the life of a person, just because they are born to unfortunate circumstances... Thank-you for this website. You sure changed my mind.
