I need the courage to be able to write this...

How much for Pregnancy test strips? I asked the pharmacist putting on a brave face and demeanor that really wasn't even needed... 150, 250 or thereabout, I don't remember.

I got 4, I don't know why... Hurriedly paid and hurriedly left the pharmacy, all this I did avoiding eye contact with everyone in the pharmacy (they were just 3 people including the pharmacist, which seemed like a crowd at that time)

Coming to terms with reality...

You are so much more courageous than you think!
Your courage would also be strength to others having same guilt.

Re: Living With The Guilt Of Abortion by baby124: 3:22am On Jul 09, 2020
We all always think the grass is greener on the other side.

Many have had the baby and felt so overwhelmed that they abandoned the baby and ran. Some even killed the baby. Many didn’t want the baby but when baby came, it brought them happiness.

Many have aborted and felt the loss for life while many have aborted and felt free.

Whatever decision you made, I am sure you thought long and hard about it. Don’t let any person convince you that you made a bad decision. At the time and in your circumstances you made the right decision for you. Find it in your heart to move on.

My dear, if your baby is giving you so much negative thoughts you can leave it with an older family member you know will take good care of it and, make sure you send the person money and check up on baby regularly. Or you can give the baby up for adoption.

The baby does not deserve to suffer for something it doesn’t know about. You made the decision to have your baby so do everything within your power to make sure it has a good life including ensuring the father contributes. The baby is blameless here.

I also understand your feeling, it’s not easy for two parents to take care of a child not to talk of 1. It’s very tough. Kids are cute but can be full of trouble and very expensive.

Just be easy on yourself and take time to enjoy yourself or do things that make you happy as long as it doesn’t jeopardize the child’s life. Be careful bringing strange men and women around the child because of abuse. Even family members abuse.

Children who people think they are unwanted are abused 10x more. So be careful what you project to outsiders about your feelings towards your baby or being a single mum. If you can say it here, I am sure people know you are not very happy.

you feel guilty because religion has brained washed you that abortion is sin.


look at it this way

would you rather raise a child you cannot raise
and watch the child starve ?

how will you feel if your child insults you for not been able to provide for him.

Overpopulation is number one problem in this country. would you like to add to it or subtract from it.

you made mistake by having unprotected sex. next time ensure you use condom

If it where in a more saner clime like America I would have given it up for adoption

That's a lie. That's the narrative pro choice people choose.

What I'm asking is not even about abortion.
I'm asking you, if after giving birth already, feeling the warmth of the baby, feeling him latch onto your breast, hearing the baby's cries, you wished you had killed him or her?



PS: you make it seem like you only have two choices—be a single mother or abort. What about maintaining your chastity?

Please don't believe on what you read always online. Many people are fake on social media and are quick to judge. You made the right decision by not aborting and try to find happiness in your decision and not on what people say.
We all made a mistake in life. We were all general children of disobedience. It is only the mercy of God through Jesus Christ that makes us righteous.

No dear, its not. Values are still being upheld by individuals who know that the main aim of living isn't just for self indulgence nor giving in to every sensual craving but self control and responsibility.

The former only tends to animalism and catastrophe.

The ability to give in to one's animalistic side without feeling guilt or remorse is bliss. Having sex doesn't not degrade one's values, it simply how one goes about it.

Anyways pastor, na u sabi.

Irrespective of Whatever people will say , will not say or whatever, There are truths that we must know..

1. We All have a Creator, that created us and we all Must, irrespective of Whatever you believe, Give Account to Him

2. You and I did not and cannot create a life. The Life in us is not our own.

3.It is a Privilege given to us as humans to carry a Being as s child.. it is a Gift! It is given! You have no right to take the life

4. No matter how the Whole World views abortion or tries to modify it, Abortion is Wickedness! It's Murder! It is Sin Against GOD!

5. There are Consequences for what we do! Let's Fear God and Respect God in our doings! Its Fearful to fall into His Hands..

6. When you go into a sexual immoral relationship. That is fornication. When you Abort the product of that act it is Murder!

7. No Matter what people say to you about Aborting the child , don't yield to them or the devil! When the Consequences come, the people who pushed u to the act will not be there with you.

8. The Consequences is always Greater than the act.

9. For those who have engaged in the act, Go to God and Cry for Mercy! Blood speaks! You need to Cry for Mercy!

10. For those who are thinking of aborting that child.. if you try it after reading this, what you see you carry!

Let's be Guided!
