Emma

hey, im in a similar situation as you, im 18 and tomorrow i have my first appointment at the hospital to have an abortion, im dreading it and im hopeing that they will refuse to do the opp. You are very brave in your decision,and have shown me that its ok to not want a abortion, even though my bf, his family and mine all think i should go through with it because 'our problems will be over', i dont think that it really is a easy way out as lots of people think.
Tomorrow will be the first day of the rest of my life, i hope i dont regret it.

Ez.
It is clear that you don't want to have an abortion. You are going to regret it. As you know having an abortion will not solve any of your problems, it will just make them worse. I understand why your family is pressuring you to do this. It is easy to go along and be complacent but you will suffer greatly after your abortion if you aren't a Stand Up Girl now. You know what you need to do. Stand Up for what you want. Don't listen when they say you can't be a mother. That is not true and there are soooooooooooooooooooooooooo many girls in this site that can testify to that. You can do it! You can Stand Up for yourself, what you want, and your future.

Here is a number you can call for help at any time 1-800-395-HELP. They have people that would love to talk with you and get you help. You can be a Stand Up Girl.

Congratulations on deciding to keep your baby Emma! I hope that you are doing well!

Hey - I'm Lisa and I read your e-mail and wanted to respond as quickly as I could. I hope you can read this BEFORE you take the step of abortion. Because I made that step and trust me ... abortion does not make your baby go away. Your baby stays in your heart as your heart aches for years to come. Please don't think that abortion is going to make 'all your problems go away' because it doesn't. Abortion is just the beginning of problems. I can tell that you don't want to have an abortion and that you are trying to be sweet and please your bf. But if you take a Stand for the life of your baby - you will be far happier and you will be amazed that you will see THAT will be the first day of the rest of your life with your precious little baby. Please know that I've been down that road and it will change you forever. Please reconsider. At least post-pone your appointment and maybe talk more before taking that horrible plunge. Please respond. OK?

Hey Emma,

I'm 17 and I'm pregnant as well. I think it is very brave of you to keep your baby...I know how hard it is to make a decision like that. I'm gonna have my twins in april, so I can tell you that the hole prgnancy-thing is not as bad as I thought it would be!!! But once again...I think you're really brave!!!
You can do it!!!
