Olivia's
Story
I am 28 years old, I have a 7 year old little
girl. At the time I had a so-called boyfriend, he was 34, We decided not to have
an abortion at that time... this was our mistake... We didn't have the right to
kill an innocent child... I moved in with the "boyfriend" and 9 months later we
had a beautiful little girl... I do love her... 2 years after her birth,
her father and I broke up... I am now a single mom trying to make ends meet...
I am pregnant again, I just found out 2 days ago... I have a boyfriend... he wants
me to have an abortion I am not sure I can... I have an appointment
tomorrow... at 8:00 am. I feel this child growing inside of me... but I know that
I don't have a future with my new boyfriend... I don't want to be a single mom
of 2 children. The timing isn't right... I want to be married and in-love with
my husband. I believe my next child will be happier if I wait for that...
I feel guilty for even considering abortion, what right do I have to decide
the faith of another... but if I keep this child what faith will she have? A single
mom of 2 that must work all the time to support her children. Every other weekend
with her dad, mom too tired to listen to her/him, so worn out from working all
the time... It is my choice, but I not sure it is the right choice...
I will be at my appointment tomorrow... I will say a prayer tonight for me,
my unborn child and my daughter that is 7.... Olivia

Women
who have abortions are NOT different than women who don't. They are the SAME women
at different times in their lives.
