I’m a Christian and consider myself to be a spiritual person. Contrary to what protesters scream outside of clinics on how God sees abortions, I believe God was with me and supported me every step of the experience. Sacrificial love for the greater good is a big theme in Christianity. I believe I embodied sacrificial love by choosing to end this pregnancy. More than I ever could have bringing a baby into a family that wasn’t financially, emotionally, or mentally ready. I love my lil embryo enough to keep them safe from being born into an unstable environment with little provision. Keeping them here would’ve been selfish for everyone involved. I’ve never needed God’s forgiveness for doing this, I needed the courage to make the tough, but right decision and God gave me that.
