Answer #1

alm08 - I’m new at this so I don’t know if I’m posting correctly. I’m not crazy about the idea of abortion, but I DO NOT JUDGE. If I’d been in a bad situation, I honestly don’t know what I would have done. YES, you can still have children. You are truly sorry, so trust that God has forgiven you. Don’t let others make you feel guiltier than you already do. Nobody is perfect; we’re all sinners and have committed some very serious sins during our lifetimes. For example - look at all the pedophile priests. I think what they’ve done is far more sinful than what you did. Just pray and trust in God’s mercy/forgiveness. True repentance (which you have) is all that’s required. You did what you had to do at the time, and I’m sure you’ll never do it again. We have to forgive others, and we sometimes have to learn to forgive ourselves. Good luck; you’ll be okay.

lilysadvice99823, the womb is sometimes damaged, and some procedures can alter or harm the reproductive organs.

Answer #3

yeah you made the right decision cause it would have been bad for you and the child. and I seriously can’t believe someone said that god would forgive you, thats bs, just because god doesn’t make that happen. and yes you can have kids later on when your ready.

Answer #4

I think..you did the righ think..and I hvae a friend who had…one done..and Yes I’m still in high school(a junior)and se is 8 1/2 prego now!!!So I believe you did the right thing…

Answer #5

An abortion performed in a surgical setting by a qualified doctor rarely results in childlessness. You will almost assuredly be able to have children later, and will be a good mother because you are aware of the responsibilities that motherhood requires. When that time comes, you will be ready for the challenge!

I am a strong believer in a woman’s right to choose and be in control of her body. Abortion is not a good choice, but it is sometimes the best choice.

Good Luck!!

Answer #6

babygirl03 - I know you mean well, but I don’t think alm08 needs more guilt than she’s feeling right now. You don’t know what your future holds or what you would do had you been in her position. She’s truly sorry; nobody can ask more of her than that. It’s kind of like: “There but for the grace of God go I.” Since she’s suffering from guilt, I think compassion (and forgiveness) is called for. And believe me, I mean no offense to you. Perhaps, I’m just guessing, you’re going by your religious beliefs which you’re certainly entitled to do, but mercy and forgiveness is where it’s at.

Answer #7

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with getting an abortion. If you have a good or bad reason, it’s your body, do what you want with it. If you’re ment to have a child you will have one in the future when you’re able to care for it.

Answer #8

sometimes abortion is the only option and its an option that women do need especailly if you cant handle the situation or arent financially, emotionally, physically ,ect ready to have a baby abortions can however make it a bit harder to fall pregnant so you really do need to see your doctor and should get your and your partners fertility tested to find out how likley you are to fall pregnant

Answer #9

I think you can still have children and god will foregive you

Answer #10

I believe in abortions if you have a well and truly good reason to do it, I dont think you should feel gulity, you had your reasons at the end of the day, my auntie had 2 abortions in her past and now she has 2 kids, so really dont worry about it

Answer #11

you can still be a mum a abortion is just killing the baby, not killing or harming the surronding eggs
