Wish someone could have stopped me
 

Hello,

I was 28 and decided to have an abortion.  I am now 41 and still have tremendous emotional saddness.  I miss her.  I don't know the sex, but I named her Terry.  I loved her father very much and wish someone could have guided me in the potential after affects of choosing this horrible act.  It seemed the only option at the time, but time passes and it would have worked out.  I wish someone could have told me this.  I wish it was illegal.  I would not still be crying for the baby that I wish I could have met.  

Please take my story to heart.  Don't brush it off as another statistic.  It truly is not a our right to choose.  I know now my baby wanted to live.

Deepest regards,

Jennifer
