This is a very controversial subject, and I know that a lot of people may dislike me for the action I have taken in my life, but it was necessary under my circumstances.
So, Pro-Life, Pro-choice, I'm under the Pro-choice category. I find that every woman has the right to stop a pregnancy in the first trimester if she needs it. My personal beliefs are that, If the heart isn't beating, there's noting you're losing per se.
I open a discussion on the subject, though I would like to ask you to please be respectful.
Anyway, I was a little under 6 weeks along when I terminated my pregnancy via pill method. I did it at home, and Mr. III took care of me all day. It sucked, but wasn't so bad.
The reasoning behind my decision is, it would be hard to obtain my veterinary degree if I had a child right now. Though, adoption would have been fine to do. However, Mr. III would lose his college, his grandfather pays for his college, and if we ended up getting pregnant, he would lose it. I couldn't deal with the fact that a decision I made would effect his life in such a way. He needs college.
We're looking into adopting a puppy, if possible, and we will have kids once we get in a position to do so.
I feel like God was with me in this decision, and though he might have not agreed, or whatnot, he gave me peace in it. I think I'll find a way to give back in some way.
Besides this, Mr. III and I have never been better. We can't have sex for two weeks, but its okay. We're getting though it nicely. He's the best guy out there, I feel like a lucky one.
Later, perhaps.

Hope its the wise decision you made
ReplyDeleteLittle late here on the reply but i did just start following your blog.
ReplyDeleteI lean pro choice on this subject. It is a delicate subject, no doubt about that, but i am in the same boat. Veterinary School coming up absorbs my life at the moment and to top it off, i don't have a 'real job' that would allow me to raise a family.
If things in my life were different, if i had already gone through college and had a decent job, i would think about keeping it.
But here is where i must stand firm. I am not ready financially or life wise to have a child. I don't know when i will be...perhaps it will be too late and if that time passes then so be it. I refuse to bring a child into this world that i can't even take care of. And if i had to make the choice, i would say that it is a choice i would make without much hesitation.
I think you did the right thing.
But pro-choice people always hear flack from the pro-life people. And it's completely understandable when people consider the horrible things about abortion like partial abortions (thanks to Mr. Scott for the wonderful nightmares i had after he told us about that). But during the first trimester, i don't see anything wrong with it.
