Greetings abortiontv,
I recently learned that I am expecting a baby. I am 8 weeks pregnant.  I am
very blessed to have found your website and to have had the opportunity to
read the many testimonies of women who have experienced abortion(s). 

I am 29-years-old and this is my first pregnancy.  My mate and I somewhat
planned this pregnancy, but when the situation became a reality, I thought
twice about the decision.  I immediately went into a depressed disposition. 
I refused to leave my house.  I cried uncontrollably and questioned the
Creator daily about the pregnancy.  I could not believe how I was acting.  I
have a loving mate, I have a master's degree, I am nearly 30 years of age and
none of this seemed to matter.  I still felt rearing a child was too much
responsibility and above all- I did not want to give up my carefree lifestyle.

I made several attempts to schedule an abortion appointment, but for some
reason or another, the endeavor failed.  Although I had convinced myself to
go forward with the surgery, I was extremely afraid.  Every time I thought
about the abortion procedure, I became increasingly anxious.  In an effort to
learn more about the surgery, I visited your website in hopes of getting a
very different outcome.  I am appreciative that the Creator delivered me to
this website because the information that I received today was invaluable.  I
anticipated that the abortion process would be challenging, but I really did
not know half the story. 

In closing, I thank the many women who went public with their personal
experiences in an effort to help other women through a challenging situation.
 If I had not read the testimonies, I may have made a decision that would
have saddened my spirit for life.  At this juncture, I plan to go full term
with this pregnancy.  Many blessings.

Thanks,
a woman from California

I have so much to say to you all that I don't know if I will be able to get it all out to make sense.

First, my name is Katrina. Like many of the others listed on the BABIES NOT SLAUGHTERED page, I got pregnant at the tender age of 15. Basically my mother's response was "abort or get out". Now, at the time, I didn't know wether or not it was because I wanted to prove to my mother that I was not a screw up, or because of the feeling that overwhelmed me when I felt my child move for the first time - or maybe a little of both. But standing up for my child's life, I chose the streets.

I knew that I couldn't give my child the life that he deserved, but I wanted a chance to try. I wore out my welcome when I jumped from every family member's house that I could think of. Unfortunately I was a very hard-headed child and did not use the common sense God blessed me with. Nothing really hit me until I was sitting in front of a dumpster behind a hotel with a developing child in my womb - who was in fact on his way and not stopping for anybody.

Now I'm not gonna sit here and lie to you. I thought about abortion. I think abortion crosses the minds of every first time mother going through an unexpected pregnancy. But needless to say - to this very day I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am that I did not go through with it.

At the age of 16, I was emancipated and put into an independent living program. It was then I got off my rear and found myself a job. I quit school for the time being and put away a life of drugs, crime, sex and disrespect for authority - all so my son could get what he deserved from me. I owed him that much.

I am 20 years old today, a high school graduate raising 3 gorgeous, happy and intelligent children on my own. I realize that I'm young. And I wish I had a dime for every time someone said, "you're 20 with 3 kids!!!" Yes, thank you. I realize that also.

Being the smart a*s that I am, I usually end up saying something like "really??? what are their names and ages???"

Anyway, my point is - I am not the 16 year old child that I was 3 1/2 years ago. By the age of 16 I'd lived the life of someone twice my age and experienced things no one ever should - but I don't regret one single decision that I've made. I am a wonderful, successful and stable mother because of those choices.

Being a mom is very hard work. But I don't understand how women think that it's right to kill their own children. The first time I felt my child move I knew right away that I had to hold him. Did they not get this feeling themselves? Either that, or they have a cold heart with very little respect for human kind.

I honestly think I can say, that I have heard it ALL. "How do you do it?" "You're so young," etc, etc, etc. All young moms out there know exactly what I mean. They know exactly what it's like to put up with the judgemental comments and criticism. I realize that I was stupid for having sex so young in the first place, but it has taught me more than any books could.

I believe there is no such thing as "not planning" for a child. The minute you lay down and unzip, you are asking for a child - in addition to whatever else comes out of that you-know-what.

As I've mentioned, words can't express how grateful I am for the wisdom that God gave me, to make the decision to allow my child a chance to live. I truly believe that every baby deserves a fighting chance. (the only exception would be in a case of incest - but I won't get into that.) And the jist of my e-mail to you is, let me be the one hundred millionth person to thank you for showing our communities what pro-abortionists are afraid to.

So keep up the good work with your page and thank you once again, for the truth.

You can add this little piece of my life to your Babies Not Slaughtered page if it isn't too long and if the material is right. Thank you for listening. I've enclosed some pictures of my children.

Be blessed,
- Katrina Freeman
