I don’t typically write about heated topics such as abortion, but my thoughts on abortion as a sexual abuse survivor won’t be silenced. A major part of me wants to scream that abortion should be illegal. After all, it is considered murder, and for good reason!

Yet, there is a small smidgen of me that is screaming to protect that abused person who ends up pregnant with a monster’s child inside them. Even with that argument, I want to still protect the innocent child that has no fault or blame for the situation.

Thoughts on Abortion, Is It Murder?

I am going to go on record and say that yes, abortions are murder! I say that because my youngest daughter was nothing more than a flitter of a being when I nearly had a miscarriage with her. In less than a week after returning to work after trying for four years to get pregnant again, I started having a miscarriage. When they did the ultrasound to see if she was okay, she was literally no bigger than the size of a pea! Yet, she was REAL and ALIVE!

I can’t imagine killing a child just because it was going to make my life difficult for nine months. Yes, some pregnancies can be risky to endure. I have known this first hand since ALL.THREE.OF.MINE.WERE!

I’m also a firm believer that we are all stronger than we may realize. A person never truly knows how strong they are until they are put in circumstances they have to overcome.

An Adoption is an Option

If the abused person can’t handle keeping the child, putting the child up for adoption is an option. It’s a far better option than having a murder on your conscious the rest of your life.

Plus, think about how you’re blessing someone else’s life by giving them a child they long to have. I would recommend doing interviews for those who will adopt the child throughout the pregnancy so that the child doesn’t end up part of the fostering system.

Yes, I know that there are plenty of kids in the fostering system already that are longing to be adopted. But you have to admit that a baby being adopted out happens rather quickly.

PLUS, from what I’ve seen the adoption agencies themselves make finding homes for these kids far more rigorous than they should. In some cases, I’ve seen it’s easier for a couple to endure IV injections to produce their own child than getting the ability to adopt a child, EVEN IF THEY ARE OUTSTANDING PARENTS.

So, abortion doesn’t feel like a solution to that problem, but rather changing the way we handle getting kids adopted into loving homes would be a better option.

One Person Makes a Huge Impact

I recently watched an episode of Grey’s Anatomy where Jo admits that she’s the product of a rape crime. She feels HORRIBLE about it. However, Meredith points out how much Jo has impacted so many things in her life.

We are all created for a reason! We are made to make a difference in someone else’s life. If we start giving everyone the chance to kill off babies before they are even born because they happen to be created due to a horrible crime, then we are upsetting what should be.

Thoughts on Abortion as a Sexual Abuser Survivor

On top of that if DNAs prove that these offenders are getting these victims pregnant then more sexual offenders would actually be punished! They would have to spend 18 years taking care of a child they created in their sickening madness in more ways than one. It wouldn’t be as easy for them to get away with the crimes.

If I had ended up pregnant from my abusers, yes, life would have been hard for those nine months. I may have had to live with the idea of watching a baby be adopted. However, I believe I’d rather have that as a reminder than recall that I’ve killed an innocent being.

Please know if you have had an abortion due to these circumstances, my heart bleeds for you. I don’t think you’re a horrible person for doing this! In fact, I think you were given a different kind of strength because you went through this.

I know my mom would have pushed for an abortion because she believed victims should have that right. She believed that having a victim endure this kind of pregnancy was a form of a death sentence for them. Honestly, it may have been!

 A child giving birth to a child and their bodies aren’t equipped to fully handle it definitely doesn’t make one lean towards to the option to keep the pregnancy. A woman who has been raped and fully traumatized is not emotionally equipped to handle a full nine-month pregnancy, and that makes her a poor candidate to keep a baby in her full term.

But in my own experience, my sexual abuse history has never once left my mind. It has ALREADY affected EVERY part of my life. Considering I have grown into an adult who is a believer and believes this would be considered murder, I would like to know I did endure some goodness despite the hell my abuse has made my life.

I do know that I couldn’t have been a happy camper carrying my abuser’s baby in me! It was hard enough enduring my VERY LIFE-THREATENING HIGH-RISK pregnancies which were made out of love. But again, I stress, that we don’t realize just how strong we are till we are made to go through life’s obstacles.

The whole topic of abortion is quite tricky. It’s almost a catch-20/20 scenario. Which one of the two evils is worse? It’s hard to say!

Yet, in both cases, the innocent child suffers. For all, we know that innocent child may have been the person to solve the mysteries to ridding our world of an even more severe issue our world has… cancer.

Thoughts on Abortion In Regards to LIFE-THREATENING Pregnancies

I ENDURED THREE of these pregnancies. My first child was created after having a LIFETIME of SEVERAL doctors swearing I would NEVER be able to have kids. I had PLENTY of sex in my teen years and I wasn’t on ANY kind of protection. It still blows my mind that it never happened.

But yet, on my honeymoon night I conceived my first child with my first husband. I knew the exact moment it happened! I literally felt a huge butterfly effect happen. My precious daughter kept me in the hospital for more days than I care to count hooked up to machines fighting for both of our lives.

I’d like to believe that making abortion illegal is the final verdict I’d give, but in truth, I can see both ends of the spectrum. If we looked within our hearts of hearts, we probably all can. Overall though, I lean more on the side of making abortion illegal.
