I do my best as a parent but am by no means anywhere near perfect.  I cherish my children and the gifts they have brought to my life.  I feel truly blessed.  

I have overcome lots of adversity in my life and used to contemplate suicide as an answer.  I knew there was more to life than that so I developed a thick skin and prayed that things I would have the strength to get through it.  I think I am God's success story because I didn't turn to sex, drugs, or alcohol, I just dealt with my situations and learned from each one. 

So when someone doesn't believe in giving life a chance because things might suck for them, I have to say I feel I am God's success story and don't give up on life because in itself it is a miracle. 

Abortion is a complex issue, but for those who could have chosen birth control, they should have been proactive instead of reactive.  Use birth control or don't have sex.  It's pretty simple.  Conception happens for a reason.  It's called life.
