Answer
Hi Lydia :)

You have nothing to feel guilty about. You are choosing to make sure your kid (one? tow?) that's here right now get the attention that is needed. That's something to feel good about it, as hard as it may be. You do not need to give anyone reasons for this abortion. Not wanting to be pregnant is reason enough. These "pro-life"people don't care about the potential baby inside you-they really don't. They want to punish you for being sexual. They are worthless human beings. They deem women less important than a group of cells inside of them. Given that 1/3 of all american women have at least one abortion at some point, many of these prolifers will have one too.

This is a great, great resource: http://www.4exhale.org/

They know nothing about your situation, and are judging you out of their own lack of self worth. If you need more resources - for abortion, abuse, anything, please let me know.
