Today I turned away from having an abortion. I was almost there and I turned away. I couldn't do it. My boyfriend was pushing me into it and I knew the whole time it was wrong. He already has a little girl from a previous relationship and it more then ashamed to go through this again. He told me he wanted me to have an abortion bc/ he didn't want to go through it again.

I woke up today aftern another sleepless night and realized that I was making this decision about 90% for him and just 10% for me. I knew at athat point I had to stand up for my baby. I did. For the first time in two years since dating him I feel as if I am actually strong. It's too bad I din't realized that before all this, but at least I made the right choice. Luckily, when I told my parents today they handled it better then I ever thought possible. They are amazing

Now I am dealing with pure hatred from my boyfriend. But, at least I know in my heart that finally I became strong.

Strong but yet ever so weak.

Thats wonderful! Congrats! You are a true Stand Up Girl! Isnt it wonderful to have a great family? It makes things so much easier! I'm sorry about your boyfriend and i really hope he comes around- if he has a child and knows how wonderful children are then im sure he will! Best of Luck and let me know if youd ever like to talk about anything in your pregnancy or what not- mines almost done!

You are strong. As I was reading your post I thought, \"what if she had not listened to her heart? What if she went through with the abortion to make her boyfriend happy?\" I'm sure you would have regretted it for the rest of your life. You made the right decision. You should be proud of yourself. Way to go! Way to Stand Up.
