With my 22nd birthday quickly approaching its made me think about life a lot lately. I sit and I think how much my life has changed. My son is my world and I wouldnt change a thing. But there are the times when I sit and wonder how my life would have been different if a.) I had an abortion or b.) I never got pregnant in the first place.
We all know there are risks when it comes to having sex, but everyone thinks it wont happen to them. I know that was my mentality. But the statistics are really stacking against ya. I was at the mall the other day, and in the course of being there for maybe an hour I saw at least 10 pregnant woman. All ranging in ages from young high school looking girls to adults. With pregnancies being so common, I wonder how common abortions are too.
If I was to have choosen not to have my child, where would I be now? Would I be so settled down as I am now? Would I be engaged and planning a wedding? Or would I still be in my rebeliuos phase and going out way to often.
Its hard to answer. People change. I know I have taken on a lot of responsibilty at a young age, but it was the best decision for me. Its a challange every day, but it makes me a better person and hopefully a better mother as well.
Abortion is a choice some people feel they need to make due to different circumstances. Its a choice people have to live with for the rest of their lives.
