I have never had an abortion myself but recently discovered a close friend did. I had a miscarriage and that's how the subject came up. She felt the need to compare our stories as if they were similar. We talked at great length but I don't think she feels remorse even to this day. I don't agree that the 2 are similar in any way.
I agree with you completely that there are plenty of options for adoption and providing a child to a family who can't have their own - that is the unselfish way of making a difficult decision to whether or not you are in the position to have a child.
Personally, I think there are so many options out there for birth control I do not see any need for abortion. I know they say there is a margin for error with birth control and accidents happen but coming from a person who has no fertility trouble what so ever and it taking many months to become pregnant, twice...I feel many people use that as a cover up for their own stupidity of not protecting themselves to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. I also do not agree in abortion for the sake of a proposed medical problem in an unborn child. You get what you get, deal with it and life goes on. It shouldn't be like shopping for a new pair of jeans and dropping them at a charity location if you decide in a few weeks that they don't work for you any more.
Just a personal opinion. I'm glad you look at things differently now. Maybe the experience was meant to help you grow as a person. I feel that everything happens for a reason. Good luck to you.
