I may get blasted for this, but I believe it's important enough to talk about.
I am on an abortion support site. This one is for women only who have had abortions to talk about their experience and how to cope with it. It is not for debate, or for pregnant women who are questioning their pregnancy.
Buzzybee is on there. I know this, because she has the same handle, is from the same location, said that "buzzybee" is always her handle because it's her nickname, and had a twin pregnancy she recently terminated. The timeline lines up exactly as well. The chances of this being someone else is pretty nill.
I bring this up not to ostracize buzzy, or call attention to her decision, or dehumanize her, or criticize her, or any of those negative things people will jump the gun about.
I bring this up because it is important for women who are considering abortions to know that many women who have already had abortions know what they are talking about when they tell you something. This is, as buzzy said in the other forum, a lesson learned too late.
She completely regrets her decision. She, to summarize, wishes anything to still be pregnant with her twins. She's do anything to have them back, wishes she didn't listen to people, etc.
These may be feelings of regret only brought about by hormones, or these may be feelings she would never of had if she hadn't of had the abortion. She may instead feel very resentful of the twins for interrupting her life. Who knows?
The point is, women, and I am completely pro-choice by the way, there is a very high risk you will regret the decision to have an abortion. Not everyone will, certainly, but you may. And since I am staunchly pro-woman, I beg, plead, and beseech you to shut out all other influences, and make a clear decision based on you- not anything else. Not your parents, not friends, relatives, boyfriends, husbands, society, religion, education, finances, anything.
I bring up buzzy b/c it's here in black and white that she was all for it, and felt okay with it, and now she is not.
If you wish to doubt me about her example, then use myself for one. I was okay with it, now I am not. I am not a gooey, pro-baby, diaper toting, kid loving person at all. I have never wanted kids. Also, I am highly educated, intelligent, and introspective. I thought I too was okay with this desicion, b/c it was the "best" decision. Now I am convinced I was wrong.
Again, because I am pro-woman I ask for women to do for themselves what is best, and I ask that they take serious time to consider this decision. Do not rush! Take your time, think, go off by yourself for three days and be away from influences. You owe yourself three days, at least.
Only love,
birch
