There are few moments in your life when you are standing at the brink of a decision with this much potential for change. Having an abortion presumably secures the status quo of your life. Nothing really changes, though some would argue that it does. But to say that you are irritated by those that suggest that going through with a pregnancy Changes One For Life shows a huge lack of awareness by just how much being a parent, or even a deliveree of a baby means. It's an enormous thing... and I don't just mean the responsibility. It's HUGE... and it comes out of your vagina. That in and of itself will actually change many women for life. Having a child will change you. It will. It will change you in ways you couldn't even imagine. I'll stop now, because trying to describe the love you feel for your child to someone that hasn't had one is like trying to describe color to a blind person. edit: I feel the need to let you know that I love you and think the world of you and that I've had a bottle of wine.I just do get irritated at people who insist that having had an abortion, or choosing to go through with a pregnancy, Changes One For Life
Whether you choose to recognize it or not, it DOES change you for life. It's a HUGE choice you make.
From Directly after your quote of me: Clearly, my umbrage is not truly directed at those who say having a child will change your life. Children remain an if, not a when, for me.I agree that having a child certainly is going to do that and also that it's a big decision and shouldn't be taken lightly. I don't believe it's a decision that has to leave emotional scars that cripple one for life or which one still has to be burdened with years after the fact.
My apologies, I shouldn't be having this conversation for several reasons. 1. Having my MOM drop by hubski was truly weird. 2. wine 3. I need rest.
