Regrets after my four abortions

Dear Pastor,

I have done four abortions and it is the most regrettable thing I have ever done. At the time, I felt like I could not care for the children the way I would have loved to do. I never wanted children to live a life like I did when I was growing up, so I aborted each pregnancy. I believe that abortion is wrong, but it is worse to have a child and let him feel that he is unwanted.

Dear P,

I get the feelings that as you reflect over your life, there is a feeling of remorse over what you did. I don't know if I would be correct in saying that you wished that you had not aborted these pregnancies. However, you have declared that it is wrong for a woman to have abortion. This debate will go on and on. Some people look at life as sacred and that the unborn must be protected. Others argue that a woman can do whatever she pleases with her body.

The Bible does not support abortion. No matter what the pro-choice people may argue, life begins at conception, and that is the way I see it. You cannot turn back the clock. Try to put what you have done behind you and move on. God will take care of you.

Pastor
