1. The Gift Of Life
I received a gift from a stranger,
A stranger I did not know.
I had heard his name before,
But just in passing, so I let it go.
Viewing abortion as a simple, convenient procedure is misguided. Women who have chosen to abort may face feelings of sorrow, shame, and guilt. The body will physically heal after an abortion given time, but the psychological scars left behind can take longer to fade. Everyone has their own opinion on the moral implications of having an abortion. Many women report that being pregnant feels like having a baby inside them and that it is psychologically painful to have an abortion. There are times when having an abortion seems like the right thing to do. For example when the mother is unprepared or her health is at stake. Others insist on a woman's right to choose.

Serena,
I am so sorry that you're sad. I can hear it in your words. The pain you feel is valid and very real. You're so brave to express it. I'm praying for you right now. God is not mad at...

The day I found out about you
I didn't know what to do.
I broke down and cried
Because I knew I couldn't have you.
I had an abortion 34 years ago. I suppressed the feelings for most of those years until now. The regret I have is overwhelming. My mother made me have an abortion to get rid of my boyfriend...

To my unborn baby,
Selfishness cannot even explain
The emotion that turned into pain.
I know that I can't stay here,
but don't be sad for me.
I'm at peace with this decision;
I just wish that you could see.
I was 16 when I got pregnant. My stupid decisions led to this, and I won't ever be able to forgive myself. I wouldn't be able to give them the life they deserved, so at 8 weeks I aborted...
Dear baby unborn,
You came out of the blue.
I took a pregnancy test,
And then I knew,
Dear hole in my heart,
A beautiful heartbeat, I wish to see you smile. Every day I wonder if you felt a thing. I try to hang on to what people say, that you were too small to feel any...
I can't believe I took your life.
I know now and I knew then, I had no right.
It was a selfish choice that I made.
I chose myself when your life I could have saved.
I was 21 when I fell pregnant and I didn't know what to do. I wasn't in a relationship; he was a boy I worked with, and he was horrible from the moment he found out I was pregnant. I wanted...
Nine months are slowly getting close.
I am surrounded by the blanket of yours;
Slowly I am growing in your womb,
Please don't send me to the tomb;
Please have your baby. Like you say, it could be your only chance. If you can't raise him, there are many wonderful people that would love to adopt him. Believe me, you will mourn this child...
The baby's conceived,
Without being planned.
A night of passion,
With an unknown man.
This story really touched me as that night of passion left me with twins and my family forced me to have an abortion, I didn't want to upset them so T went along with it. Even now I think of...
Mommy, Mommy, don't let me go.
I wanna see the world
and know everything you know.
I wanna see the world
You are more courageous than I would have been in your case. You did awesome offering love to your child. I suffered abuse as well. I was drugged, and I did not know what was being done to...
She aborted our unborn with a heart of hate
She stole two souls and could not wait
The love of a child was waiting to be born
As the soul of a Father could only mourn
To Diane, Sorry it took me so long to respond. Your post just recently showed up on my poem response. First I want to thank you for your kind comment. But mainly I want to thank you for...
I can't sleep, my body is aching
the pain in my chest, my heart is breaking.
The bond that we share I thought was so strong,
but obviously I was so wrong.
I had an abortion 3 weeks ago. I thought it was the right thing to do since I am still studying and can't afford to have a baby at the moment. I thought things would be back as if nothing...
For My Mommy (the cry of an unborn child)
Hello Mommy, this is me, your baby-
I'm just a tiny someone,
I loved this poem so much, it made me cry. I am totally against abortion. No baby should be murdered by its mother. It is sad to see children God has made being murdered. If you can't take...
