Never Made Me Feel Better

	Dora Queensland, Australia

	It was a sad day that I decided to have an abortion. It was a routine STOP (Suction Termination Of Pregnancy) in a public hospital. I had no way out, really, as I was a foreign student doing my nursing training in London. Had I stopped my training, I would have had to leave England immediately and return to my homeland. I knew abortion was wrong, but, as I decided to have the abortion, I vowed to God that I would have any amount of children He would give me and be in the relationship with the father of my baby, knowing it was going to be a violent, degrading one. Thus, I felt that this was my way of punishing myself for doing something so horrific in God's eyes. So I started my contracted marital life of domestic violence for 40 years, which produced six children. Every day, every minute, I regretted having that abortion. But, no matter what I did, nothing compensated for the wrong deed I did to God... I rejected His gift of a child and killed it in the process to justify my wrongdoing. It NEVER made me feel better...EVER!
