Abortions

[kimodragon]

I shall first speak from the perspective of an unwanted human being. Because that is how I started out.

I was an oops! An unplanned pregnancy, a surprise, a mistake, I wasn't suppose to be here. And I did not have a choice over life or death. That was my mothers choice. And my mother did think about abortion for a minute I am sure.

My mother was native american and the man that donated the other half of me was, and maybe still is black. Very uncool in the time that I was to be born.

My mothers people were not going to accept me at all.And they were going to disown my mother for her great sin. The sperm donor bailed! When my mother found out that she was pregnant she ran away from the tribe and ended up having me in secret! Thank you Mom! And gave me up to the state to raise. She did not even name me.

I was raised in orphnages and foster care. And all of the horror stories that go with it.

A wonderful black couple decided that they wanted cute little ol' me and began the adoption process. In the middle of this process,which takes about a year, my mother got another little suprise!

My brother as it would turn out. Same scenerio different chicken dude flew responsibility!

The beautiful, good hearted,kind loving couple that we now call Mom and Dad did not want to split the set and adopted both of us.Hooray Mom and Dad!!!!!

My birth mother sadly died giving birth to my little brother due to complications. We never got to thank her face to face for giving us life. But will still try to tell her everyday.

Now Mom and Dad did this process not once, not twice, but six more times. Accepting unwanted human beings into our lives. I call them my brothers!

I am the first of 8 different stories of love.All of us have our own different little problems to deal with.

One of my brothers was born with fetal alcohol sydrome and some mental problems.Another brother was born addicted to crack and if not for our Mom and Dads' love would have spent his life institutionalized. 6 out of the 8 of us are on medications to help us cope with mental and emotional problems. Usually 2 or 3 meds at one time.

But we all are thankful that we are here, even living through the horror stories that are our lives.Each and every one of us could have been aborted and we would have never have known.

Yeah we can look back now and say how cruel and immoral it would have been. But at the time that it would have happened we would not have known.

I have lived with children that have special needs for life and I have worked in the lives of others that have far, far worse problems than ours. I have even met a girl who is a botched abortion and knowing her I can say that I wished that she had been killed!

She has and never will have a life! But she lives. She does not have a conscious mind but she grows, she can not eat but she is feed, she cannot relate to anything around her......But she is loved!!!

She was adopted by two people who knew all of this before they decided that they would love her.

We the unwanted fetuses of the world that live know pain, suffering,loss,hunger, sadness, and some of us know joy, pleasure and love. But for those of our kind that are not in this world, they know nothing!

Sometimes just sometimes abortion is a blessing. But it all starts with the choice of a woman! And Hooray adoption!!!

Thanks for listening

I agree particularly with roadkill. lol, nice name...lol. Really, it is creative.

anywho, I agree with him/her.

"killing" cells is really some late decision cleaning up, it just happens to be in the woman's body....ouch...

As most of you know, my older brother is multidisabled. I love him to death and wouldn't want him any other way. For the most part, he's a happy guy. I couldn't imagine not having him in my life.

By the same token though, it breaks my heart when he asks me why god hates him, or when he talks on and on asking when there's going to be medicine to make him better. He's well aware that he's different, he's confused as to why he's different, and can't understand why people treat him differently. He's a chatty, outgoing guy, and hates how he can never convey to others what he's thinking or feeling because he has difficulty talking. I remember the creulty shown to him in highschool by both students and teachers. I love him to death, but it hurts me so much to see him hurting too.

Although he faces difficulty out in the world, at home he's loved by me and our parents, and we accept him for who he is and what he can and cannot do. But what if a disabled person doesn't even have that to fall back on? I just recently learned that one of my dad's cousins was born with down's syndrome. He was essentially locked in his room most of the time, wasn't allowed to go to school, and his family generally pretended he didn't exist. After his mother died, his father didn't want anything left to do with him, and had him institutionalized. Apparently, he's still there, and no one visits him. My dad barely even remembers him. I also remember hearing a story about a wealthy family who had a son with severe cerbral palsey, the type where they're unable to walk, generally unable to move, and unable to communicate. One day, when the boy was about 10, they brought him to a hospital, and left him there, with a note explaining that they couldn't stand taking care of him anymore.

Yes, people who are disabled can live full, happy, healthy lives. They are thier own person, and have no reason to compare themselves to what's normal and accepted, and they deserve to be loved for the person that they are, no more, no less. However, I can't begrudge someone the choice of having an abortion if they know that they're going to have a child born with disabilities.
