Stand Up Girl (<-- clickity click)

I've been lurking around this site for quite some time and I quite like it. Go see for yourself. ^w^

EDIT: Lemme share you a story from this brave young women.

Cherish

Dear Becky,

My name is Cherish and when I was sixteen I found out that my life would forever be changed, I had been daitng my boyfriend for about a year when we found out that I was pregnant. We actually knew already. But the news was told to me when I went in to get an abortion, yes an abortion. I was about 10 weeks and just knew that my mom would kill me if she found out that I was pregnant.

So the day of the abortion I went to the clinic had my blood drawn and then was placed in this little white cold room. Moments later the doctor came in and introduced himself and explained what he would be doing. Then he did the ultrasound and he said to do see that heartbeat over on the right I said yes. Then he said do you see that on the left? I said that looks like the one on the right side, What does that mean I said? That means that you are having twins!

I was in disbelief, me, twins, I'm only 16.

With that being said I got up and got dressed and told the nurse that I just couldn't go throgh wtih killing not one but two of my babies at the same time. The clinic refunded my money ($480) and I went back to my boyfriend's house and told him the news and that I just couldn't go through with an abortion. He said well then its time to tell our parents.

To make a long story short, Khlee and Kyler made there way in to the world on Oct 1, 2002 at 9:09pm and 9:11pm by C-section and have brought more joy to my life than words can describe. They are 4 years old and now have a lilttle sister.

I finished high school and went on to medical school and am currently awating to start my R.N. classes.

So to all girls out there who think that they can not finish High School with one baby -- I did it with two and never asked anyone for help to raise my kids so... look inside yourself.

You can do it.

Cherish

If this young lady can bring up twins, I'm sure anyone can bring up one into their lives.

As they have said to her, she is truly a Stand Up Girl.

Plenty stories where that came from.

That is excatly how I felt although I was older when I found out I was pregnant. I was only 22 and didnt even realize I was pregnant until I was 4 months along. I dont have periods in the first place and was told I will never have children. I was scared and alone. My sons "sperm doaner" kicked me out and said he didnt believe it was his. My mom yelled at me and said wtf was I thinking my life is over how could I do this to myself and to the family. Eventually I ran into my now husband who stood by my side. He said he would take care of me and raise my son as his own if I decided to have him. On March 17th of this year they had to do an emergency c section on me. His heart beat kept dropping in the low 30s and 40s and they couldnt figure out why. I kept having teck tonic contractions which are different from your normal ones. Mine would last 5-10 minuets without breaking. They drugged me up so much to try and make them stop that I didnt even up walking for 6 days bc my whole body was numb. I kept thinking if I got rid of him I wouldnt be in this pain. Then when I held him everything went away. He was so small and needed to nurse. Weighing only 5.6lbs when he was born was wonderful for 2 months early. The next day he dropped to 4.8lbs anyhow to this day I dont regret my decision. Yes I get mad and frustrated but my husband and I are new parents. I wouldnt give up my angel for anything in the world.

cute kid by the way.

It's good that websites like this are out there. Hell i really don't see why choicers don't promote them as well. Most of them i've talked to say they don't really like abortion, but want it kept legal. If that's they case, shouldnt they be promoting stuff like this?

andyz cool

This kind of thing is why I worry so badly about getting pregnant. I mean, people younger and poorer than I have but it's still such a daunting task. I'm only 18 now, my boyfriend's getting his Masters (architecture) for another year and in the interim we're really poor. A baby right now would be ruinous, but I would never be able to abort. It's reassuring that other people can do it but it still scares me.

Trust me I know I was scared to death. I at the time was only a supervisor at a different resteraunt and my husband was a cook. We were trying to deal with the fact that I was in thousands and still am of debt because my ex purchased multiple items over the internet using my credit cards. I was alone and scared till he helped me. We still are poor especially with the identify theft that recently happened last month but some how we manage. I guess its by the grace of God.

I really, really, really hate the idea that's been planted into so many peoples' heads. The idea that once you give birth to a child, your life is over. Once you give birth to a child, you cease having the ability to think. Once you have a child, you might as well die, because unless you've finished your education, or unless you have that perfect job, or unless you're already living in your perfect house, you will never have anything you planned for yourself in life. I'm sick of it. Yes, it makes things more difficult. Yes, it makes things harder for you to accomplish. So what? It also makes life as a whole a million times more meaningful. It makes life a million times more joyful. I'm the mother of a child who was almost an abortion victim. I was persuaded to actually entertain the notion, and to give it consideration. If I had, I may or may not have finished my bachelor's of Biology by now. I may or may not have already started grad school. That's ok though. I'm willing to put the brakes on a little, just so I can look at my beautiful 4 year old daugther. I'm willing to take things a little more slowly so I can be breathtakingly amazed at the things she says and does on a daily basis.

Things are already harder for many people with a myriad of disabilities. Should they just not try? Should they kill themselves? I'd like to see some pro-choice people go up to a handicapped person and say, "Wow. Your life seems really tough. It might be a good idea to kill yourself. That's what I'd do." UGH. stressed

Sorry if it seems off topic. I just get so pissed off, because it seems as though so many of these women see this as such a huge crisis situation mostly because they've been told that they shouldn't be planning for a baby, but their own funerals.
