The poem is really sad and true

mari

i thnk the poem was good and is something that can be related to but only in the eyes of some. i had an abortion a year ago and it wasn't that i didn'tlove my baby, i just couldn't go through with in due to different reasons. i loved my baby very much and the fact is i still do and always will.

Veronica

God bless you! I was 16 when I had an abortion and it was absolutly the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I was wrong. I know I was wrong and I would do anything to take it back but obviously I can't all I can do is pray for other mothers contemplating abortions.

Jill

I do like your poem but i think that you don't understand alot of things about abortion, when you said "and then they get pregnant and they don't want the kid" that hurts because i know how it is going through with an abortion. It isn't that you don't want the baby b/c trust me i did, it just wasn't the right timing. I am a straight A student and i have dreams that i want to accomplish in life. Having a baby is for after i am happily married and secure with myself. Giving a child up for adoption is not always the right decision in life b/c for me that would be harder knowing that i "gave" my child away after i was the one to carry it. Don't look at abortion in the wrong way, you don't know how it feels. if i could take back what i did i might have b/c now it hurts deep down, but then when i look at it in a different view i always remember that my baby is still my sense of joy,just up in heaven. Please try to understand where i am coming from. It breaks my heart to hear someone bad mouth the subject, b/c then it makes me feel like i am the one at fault, or the bad person. I did love my baby with all my heart and still do.

I dont think its fair for a person like you to give there opinion if youve never been in the cituation of having an abortion. I dont think any human would want to be brought into this world and not be with there birth family its hard to be an adopted or a foster child there are some great losses if your not with your real family it can damage a person selfestem and self respect they have for them selve

meg

almost a year ago at age 19 i gave birth to a baby girl. please let me thank you so very much for that poem. it's people like you that help people like me realize we fit into society too. aborting a helpless infant is wrong. when you think you are ready for sex you should be ready to have a child or atleast ready to face your parents with the fact, so that you can carry the child for adoption. so many families need children

Tee

I think this poem is an inspiratin i am a teen mother myself and i don't understand where people under estimate the value of life. THOU SHALL NOT KILL!

alyson

Just recently i went with my friend so that she could get an abortion. Your poem is exactly how i felt as they stuck her with the needle of saline. I appreicate this poem more than you could imagine. god bless the writer.

June

thats a sad poem.more people should read it and think of what they're doin.

Chantelle

Wow, that's so sad! you never really think of it that way!

Kim

Extremely moving, it brought tears to my eyes. I've always leaned towards po-choice but this poem broke my heart!

Agatha

This is great! A baby, although unborn, is still a human. Do we have the right to take away what God has blessed us with? How would we like it if we were in that baby's position?

Jen

This poem may be true and moral in some ways but has this author thought about rape. I was raped at 15 and became pregnant. It is not fair to let a kid have a child at 15 years old.

Amy

That was the best well writen poem i have read yet. I do agree with what you are saying and i am very strongly aginst abortions! It is NOT about what a mother has to give her child, but what a child is and it's love.if a woman gets pregnant and decides she dosen't want the child for the reason she has nothing to give she's WRONG! Have people never heard of adoption? that is to me somthing a mother has to give and thats a chance to LIVE!

Candace

I like your poem allot. It really touched me. I agree with you to a certian point. I don't think that you should ever abort a baby if there is ANY way possible that you can support it. I say this because my mom was going to abort me. She already had the papers sighned and everything. But my dad wouldn't let her. She had someone to help raise this baby. And yet, she still wanted to ge rid of me. Trust me I would have rather been aborted though. Like Collette said, It's better to be killed before you are actually born than to live as an unwanted child. I ma 14 years old, and have already moved back and fourth between my mom's house and my dad's house 6 times. So it really hit close to home with me. Keep up the good work.

Amanda

My friend is going through a rough time with her babys fater and she was concidering an abortion. I am against them all the way. Reading this made tears come to my eyes, I hope after she reads this poem, shell think twice

Ashley

This is really good. I'm doing a speech ina a class about abortion. It help me out alot.

Johanne

This is a good poem, however, I have to agree with Colette that unless you have been in such a situation it is difficult to judge others. The simple fact of a women having an abortion does not mean that she does not love her unborn child. It simply means that - after having taken a step back and looking at her life situation, looking at what she can/has to offer to a child (and love is not enough these days), after crying several nights and beating herself over the head - she makes that heart wrenching decision to terminate the pregnancy. It is not because a pregnancy is terminated that she no longer carries around the pain of that day. She will/does think about it for the rest of her life.

jen

moving poem hun but just realize one day that could be you ALL ALONE and wondering what other choice you have... dont judge someone until you've walked in their shoes.

libby

very sad but good

Colette

No one will ever understand unless you have been there. It is about the choice - not the act. What about all the children that are already here that are not wanted? How many of those have you lifer's taken into your home? Why don't you try to get the adoption laws changed instead of telling women what they should do with their OWN bodies.

Stephen

I really like this poem, it is very well structured. I do not agree with your point of view but nevertheless i can appreciate what you are saying in the poem. Very nicely written.

Beth

Thanks for being one of the disappering minority willing to say theis anymore!

Catherine

This is awesome! I'm an ardent pro-lifist and am sending this poem to all my friends! Great job & keep up the good work!

Matt

Probably the most moving poems I've ever read.

Brian

A simple yet poignant display which touches deep into the depths of one's soul. I wish more people could possess the perception and sensitivity of the writer. Only then, will others come to realise the pain and hurt caused to Life around. Thank You, Angel!!!

Julia

I think that is the sad truth about what goes on in our society today.When I was reading this poem tears started coming down my face. I think that before a women even think about getting an abortion they should read "No Tomorrow". Your poem is hope!

lacysoul

That is a great poem: Heather, if someone doesn't want a child, they shouldn't just wear a condom, THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE SEX. It is time for poeple to open up their eyes to the fact that they need to take responsibilty for their actionsinstead of killing an innocent child. IT IS WRONG!

Jennifer

That was a very sad poem.But I think more poeple should read things like that before they take a life of a unborn child away.

Heather

I love this poem and I also think that it is truly unthinkable to have an abortion. its wrong. if you don't want a kid wear a condom!

Terri

It's to bad that people don't read this poem before they actually decide to have an abortion. Great Job

Ivan

I really liked your poem it was very touching. The reason i found it was because i was researching stuff on abortion for a class discusion. this is a poem i would be able to read to them and actually make them think about abortion in a deeper way. Great poem

megan

I absolutely love this poem becasue I was in that postion and thanks to a wonderful lady sitting in the room my mother changed her mind.
