funny...I don't remember making any kind of religious or judgmental reference. I also did not make any statement in terms of telling you what you should do, it is of course, your decision. only speaking from my own experience...and consequences.

I think that your comment more gave me the idea that there are people out there who would leave brutal messages in here and I wanted to try to preempt that. I take it you have been through this yourself. Care to elaborate?

This is your decision and your body. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or feels, it isnt them facing this. Be true to yourself. If you feel this is the right decision for you, based on your values and expectations of how and why a family should be started then that is what matters. Either way, you have my support. It is a hard enough decision to make let alone deal with bullshit from anyone about it. If I could send you a cyber hug I would.

I think your decision is right. You are really brave to even think about posting it, because all of the religious weirdos will cyber-strangle you. I'm here for you for any moral support you need. I completely understand the nuclear family thing you want. Good luck to you...oh and tell me how that laxative works. (Heehee)

I'm not going to preach at you, because I'm not a religous man. If you aren't ready to have a child, it would be in your best interest to take better precautions in the future. I'll leave it at that.

Well, obviously. I don't need to have my wrist slapped. I made a major error in timing, judgement and consistency taking my pill. I fucked up. There's no need to now remind me that I fucked up and chastise me for it. I'm a little sensitive here. But it's very easy for people to be on their high horses wagging their fingers at you when they themselves are only human too and can fuck up JUST as easily. Not a personal retort here Johnny, just a message for anyone who decides they want to reprimand me for my carelessness.

I don't think I would be comfortable discussing it live on a board. Let's just say, I have seen Lady Macbeth...and I've seen others commit suicide over such things. It's not a neat and tidy thing, no matter how one packages it. Adoption is always an option... Again, it's your decision, but please for your own sake look at all the angles, it is a decision that will affect the rest of your life, like it or not... I am not speaking of religion, or of politics. I am speaking as a woman old enough to have heart wrenching regrets about decisions I made hastily in my youth. They cut deep and are always with me... I only want to spare you, you are a sweet person and I really like you, I am pulling for you. I mean no harm...I am sorry if anything I have said has upset you.

Don't you think it would be much harder to remove a baby from your life when it's actually a baby, born, with fully functioning everything? Isn't it better for the child and the mother both to part while the baby is still a cluster of cells? There's no consciousness there now. There's no pain yet. There's no emotional framework to fuck up yet. Mine, I can deal with better now than if I had the baby and THEN had to hand it over. Naw, it's abortion or keep it, for me and keeping it is not a viable option.
