my abortion changed my life - i realized i took my potential as a parent very seriously. i wanted to be a great mom and that meant being ready - older, educated, financially able, married.

when i went in to the office they had to take a sonogram and that lady asked if i wanted to see it because she was obligated to by law - which i think is pretty crappy. it was a very hard decision, but i know beyond a shadow of a doubt that i made the right decision.

as i look at my now four and a half year old healthy full term son, and his two-year-old sister, i am so grateful for the doctor and nurses who were willing to see the bigger picture. and so grateful to have had the choice.
