My Life After Abortion

Improved Essays
The Truth When I found out I was pregnant, I had no education, was not married, and had no financially stability, and I didn’t once think to myself “My life is over”. I did not have the slightest thought of “what am I going to do? Should I keep this baby?” Although not financially or emotionally prepared to have a child, I knew I was going to have this child. There wasn’t any other option in my head. I knew I had all the support in the world from my family and that everything was going to be okay. It wouldn’t in any way be easy, but my life wasn’t in any way over. The reactions from my family weren’t surprising.

Other risks of abortion are drug abuse, PTSD, eating disorders, Divorce, or even repeat abortions.

But I am arguing my opinion, which is the fact that abortion is not always the right thing to do, there is always another option. It is like gay marriage, if someone don’t agree with two gay men getting married, as a man, then don’t marry a man. How does it affect someone else besides them two? Another woman getting an abortion, and killing her child, does not affect me. It affects her. They can judge the gay couple, they can judge the “mother” getting an abortion, but it does nothing. These people who are considering abortion, need to be educated. They are not bad people, just unknowledgeable of the facts. It is a battle between life and death, which side are you
