I hope and pray that I'm not too late in getting this to you... If I am, and you've already had the abortion, you will continue to be in my prayers, too.

As some of the other ladies have said: You don't want to have this abortion, so please don't. Even though it sounds like everything is stacked against you, the fact that you have the desire to have your baby (and the knowledge of what it feels like to be forced into an abortion that you don't want) is in your favor. This child, regardless of the vile father, is precious. You can fight his attempts to parent this child, especially given the abuse it sounds like your daughter has received from him. I'm especially concerned that your parents are using coercion. That is so grossly unfair. I do believe that if you did have the baby, they would end up coming around to supporting you because THEY wouldn't want to lose contact with their grandaughter or with their new grandchild. (But, sometimes it's hard to think they'd come around when they seem to entrenched at the moment.)

So, I hope and pray that someone or something will intervene to prevent you from going through with this abortion that you do not want to have. Then, find your local pregnancy support center (listed in the yellow pages under "abortion alternatives") and call them and talk with them.

Thank you so much. My heart feels broken too. I have cried everyday since. I always said I would never, ever do it, but I never could have predicted the situation I'd find myself in. And I know it's going to take a very long time to feel okay again. All I wanted was a sibling for my daughter, and now I'm afraid I'll never give her that. I am scared to be pregnant again, knowing what I did to this baby, I don't know how I'll get past that and enjoy any future pregnancies.
