Search Results: having a baby

In regards to religion. I'm actually atheist. I don't believe in the afterlife either. The only life worth is this life. Do the best you can, treat others good, accomplish your goals and that's it. When you die, you're not going anywhere. You'll become bones and dust. That's it.

I'm not 100% prolife and believe there are exceptions. For instance I think it's super cruel to force a raped 12 year-old girl to carry the baby full term. She already had sex done against her will; her childhood, her innocence got destroyed... what's next, further traumatize her by having another thing done against her will? For me the 3 exceptions are: rape, the mother will die giving birth or the baby will be born deformed with a short lifespan.

I was 16 weeks into my pregnancy when I decided I didn't want to have a baby. I know I should've thought it through before having unprotected sex, but I thought a little too late. I didn't want to drag an innocent soul into a world where I couldn't give it all it needed/wanted. I thought about putting it up for adoption, but possibly not knowing the home it would end up in worried me. That's when I turned to the only option that was somewhat comforting; abortion.

Without telling a soul, including the father, I went to the doctors and was soon prescribed abortion pills. I took them like so, and I was no longer pregnant.

A few days later, my boyfriend came to see me, in which I really didn't want him to, but this was something I couldn't hide from him forever. I knew he was excited to be a father. It was one of the first things he talked about when we started dating. Now, as you'd expect, he was severely upset and now he doesn't want to talk to me at all. The last time I heard from him was 2 weeks ago, and the last thing he told me was that I was irresponsible, that I'm a liar, that he hated me.

I feel as if what I did was wrong, and I think that I should just stay away from him, but I don't want us to end on such bad terms. I don't know if I can say anything that would trigger his forgiveness.
