I had an abortion because I had an extramarital affair. I had three other children at the time with my husband. I felt pressure from both the father of the child and my husband to abort the child.
During the abortion procedure, I experienced a lot of emotional loss and pain. Afterward it was even worse. I cried harder for the baby than I ever cried for anyone I've ever lost. It was a death of the closest family member and someone I loved with all my heart.
The pain has continued to this day, three years later. If I could take back one thing I've ever done, it would be the abortion. I can't ever take it back. I have to live with this loss and pain of knowing that I caused this for the rest of my life.
I have found help and forgiveness through my faith in God and understanding of his forgiveness and also help in confiding to my sister and looking to her for understanding and guidance. This is a mistake I will never make again and shortly afterward I tied my tubes because I if I ever get pregnant again this will never be an option, no matter what the circumstances. Babies are innocent and they don't deserve this. I love my baby and I always will. I pray for forgiveness daily.
