daughter she never knew

 

desperate now

no real choice

no viable option

he’d already left her

she birthed other babies

what else could she do

but have child removed?

…the one she’d never celebrate

 


Abortion is a tragedy to grieve, not an occasion to celebrate. Author Leslie Leyland Fields writes an open, compassionate letter to “celebrants” of abortion here.

    Difficult decisions and if a woman cannot cope with more its even sadder as we do not support women enough with either birth control or the issues these decisions can create.

    How sad is this situation. No, not a time to celebrate them.
