My abortion experience happened over 50 years ago . . . We were young, poor, unmarried, scared, and ill advised, in other words clueless. We did eventually marry but it only lasted a half dozen years. Our lives took different directions but neither one of us had other children.
It wasn’t until some 25 years or so later in life that the gravity of our (my) decision came full circle. My desire to have children was there but was never realized. I realized I had made a horrible choice. I had virtually forced the young lady into the abortion.
Now hardly a day goes by that I don’t regret that decision. I feel responsible for the death of my only biological child. I ask God for forgiveness daily. I have a loving and supportive family and have adopted children but often wonder about how life would have been.
