I had an abortion recently, and although no one knows, I don’t regret my decision. I’m not ready to be a mother, and I know many people don’t understand this situation. When you talk about it, they start saying it’s a life, that God will punish you, that you’ll regret it… but I won’t.
The man who got me pregnant can barely support himself with his salary, and I don’t have financial stability or the time needed to raise a child. I don’t own a house, I don’t have a solid business, and there are dreams I want to achieve first before taking on such a huge responsibility.
I was nine weeks pregnant. For me, bringing a child into the world without being able to give them the best was not an option. I don’t want them to grow up in lack, in uncertainty, in suffering. I know I made the best decision for both my life and theirs.

It takes a lot of strength to do the right thing even when people shout at you for it. It sounds like you did the right thing for you.
The only thing I will say against it is that I pray you don’t regret it later if you decide to have kids later and can’t. However, I come from a mother who clearly wasn’t equipped to be a mom. It’s a very difficult childhood. There are definitely sometimes in my life where I feel as though I would have been better off aborted. Find good birth control that works for you. I highly recommend IUD. Please don’t make a habit of getting pregnant and aborting though. It’s not good for your mental health. Be blessed!
You did what right for you….have no regrets. At nine weeks it’s a simple procedure so you won’t have any problems getting pregnant later on. I had an abortion when I was 19 and don’t regret it at all.
You did what you needed to do. That’s real. Sending lots of love💛
At 9 weeks, it is tough to abort. Not knowing what it could have been.
You did what was right for you, screw what anyone else says.
