I appreciate all your concern, but I did it, and it's over. I was the last woman to be seen that day, as it took me a long time to stop crying, and decide that was what I had to do. I am so mad about being put in this situation, but the investigators are telling the truth, at most, he will face child endangerment charges, not child molestation. And if he does, that doesn't deny him rights to his OWN children. The law is messed up that way, but that's the law trying to give children two parents, even if one is a child molestor. I can't put my daughter through anymore than she's already been through, she's having a hard enough time as is.

My heart is broken, so please, no judgement, I'll be doing it enough to myself. It wasn't the baby that was wrong, it was the baby's father, and I have such hate towards him for causing me to hurt my baby like this.

Hi Allison,

I'm sorry for your loss, too. If you think it would be helpful, most pregnancy resource centers offer post abortion counseling services. Many women have found these incredibly healing. Some have come for them years after their abortion, so it's an option for down the road if you need it.

And like Tracey said, please know none of us here would judge you - how can we? We're human beings like yourself. We have have a conviction that abortion is wrong, but that conviction ends with the act itself. We're not qualified for anything else.

Please know that you are more than welcome here to post anytime about anything. It's a great group of women.

My condolences to the struggle with the law protecting your daughter. You may need to step in yourself if you are truly convinced he is unsafe for her. Don't give up.

With Kindness,

Heather
