My Legacy

  I am a father who lost two of his babies from abortion. One abortion was out of pressure and spite from her family.  The second abortion, which was from another woman, hurt me the most because she knew of my previous experience and how badly it hurt me. She promised she would never do that to me. She also had three kids of her own from a previous relationship.

I was not present for the first abortion. For the second pregnancy I went to the sonogram. All of a sudden, she told me she could not have our child due to high blood pressure and the medications she was taking for it.  First, we tried to go to the abortion clinic. When I was there, I freaked out and felt so sad that I could not stay. We left.  After we had gone, I felt relieved and thought that there was a chance we were going to keep our baby. My baby's mother got a pill that would cause a miscarriage. She took it when I was at work, I came over that night, and I felt so lost and sad, but I also was protective over her as well.

I started having outbursts of anger and violence as time went on. I was also jealous and felt envious towards her kids because my child was not there.  I felt, “Why me? Why did she not want the same joy for me?” I could not understand how someone who loved me could want me to go through this pain again.  To this day I still do not understand.  I eventually took on the role of dad to her kids, and although we had good and bad times, the Lord knows I love them dearly.

Five years later, we eventually split up.  I now understand that not forgiving her caused a ton of problems for us.  This is something I regret, but I also still would like the truth from her as to why abortion was the choice for us and why she did not want fatherhood for me. That is why I am silent no more. I love her and the kids still, and I probably forever will. I wish abortion was not a part of my legacy.
