Dear Ashlee,

I am so sorry for the difficulties you are going through. I agree with BB that you should talk to someone about how you are feeling and what you are going through.

We all need to find our path to healing from hurts and pain. There are several good resources out there for post-abortion issues. Please find a local pregnancy center at this site:

http://www.optionline.org/advantage.asp

They also have a page with some post-abortion information on it:

http://www.optionline.org/hadabortion.html

Call a center near you or the 1-800-39-HELP number and ask about the FREE post-abortion counseling they offer.

This is another site with many good links - please spend some time there looking it all over:

It's really important for you to understand why you're feeling the way you do. Having another pregnancy/baby is also a "symptom" of Post-abortion Stress - it will NOT make the bad feelings go away - so please understand what you are really going through before you try to have a child.

Hang in there, we're here to support you and help you!

Hugs,
Kris

I really know how it feels. Yesterday( April 15th, 2008) I decided 2 abort my baby at 17 weeks of pregnancy. Today, i really regret doing!! It was actually the most stupid thing i have ever done. I know i'm only 16 years old, but i felt i was ready to take the responsability by myself... I had a boyfriend, who wasn't the father of my baby, he is 26 years old. He already has 3 kids with his ex-wife... I was ok with that. So he said that it didn't really matter that i was pregnant from a past relatioship.We started living together... until this past Friday (April 11, 2008) He told one of my best friends that he loved me, but he could never live happy by my side knowing that i was pregnant by someone else... so that's when i got the idea of commiting abortion.. Later on they asked me if I wanted to see my baby... i said yes... he looked just like me. I felt like the worst person in the world. I couldn't believe i took away his life, i knew he already loved me.. all he wanted was the right to live, but i'm so egoist i just thought about myself. Now, i know i will never be happy with my boyfriend because thanks to him, i lost the only MAN who was gonna love me forever, no matter what...i have lots of faith in God.. nd i know my baby, Eduardo Alex, is just by his side, protecting me, because he knows how much i love him.. and God know i am truly regreting what i did and he knows how to forgive...now they are both leading my way to a better life, with a man who will really love me no matter what.. R.I.P. Eduardo Alex Barrera. mommy loves you!!!
