I had to. I had another child and felt that if I kept the baby he would be a victim too. I'm talking about borderline personality, violent anger like I'd never seen. I still miss him and I will forever miss holding that baby in my arms. Yet, I know I did the right thing.

I don't think you did the right thing. Killing a baby is never the right thing. If you were worried about the baby, you should have left him or gotten him help.

I did leave him. He was/is in denial that he needs help. Walk a mile in my shoes. He went from a normal, loving guy to threatening and dangerous. I thought about going into hiding but then would have had no help with a newborn and another child. I really felt I had no choice.

Here's a shot in the dark, ever hear of birth control? It keeps the abortion/adoption discussion out of the way. No excuses especially if you had such "fear" that made you kill a baby.

I always marvel over the anonymous internet criticisms of people who never walked a mile in other's shoes. Maybe I'm wrong but it sounds like she really wanted the child and then totally feared for her safety and that of her child. I can't really say what I would do in that situation. Never had to think about it. I imagine I'd probably have a lot of very strong conflicting emotions. To the OP, I'm so sorry for what you had to go thru and I hope I never have to make the same decisions.

Having an abortion is something you will never get over, no matter what anyone tells you. I had one 4 years ago. I look at my 2 year old daughter and think, what if...

I always wonder about these people who say "well you never walked a mile in their shoes". Well I never walked a mile in Susan Smith's shoes who strapped her kids into the back seat of her car before she pushed it into a lake either. So what? Because I never walked a mile in her shoes, my opinion that she's a murderer has no validity? You see how these arguments of idiot liberals are so easy to defeat?

Your body, your decision? Then why does she reget it so much if it was merely a decision? Nice try, pro-choicer. Way to act like you truly give a damn. Just because I believe in resopnsibility beforehand and will be honest does not make me a hater.

She doesn't say she regrets the decision. She mourns the loss, I would imagine that it's because she truly wanted to grow a family with this man before he flipped sides. (Something that I've seen happen before.)
I don't believe someone should recommend adoption unless they've seriously considered adopting a child themselves. Why give birth and put that child through the system? Give that child an abnormal childhood? I am pro-choice, and support her decision. Who are you to judge the fact that she acted when she needed to. Whether the choice is something you agree with, you have no control over such a decision and should be more supportive of your fellow human being. Yes. Responsibility, and it seems like she was ensuring a healthy survival for the child she already has, rather than depriving it. When you look at our origins... and look at other animals... it's not uncommon to choose to provide MORE for the young who is already flourishing and to remove the one who has yet to take the resources away from the other offspring. Survival. If you feel your decision was right, even if just at the time, then you've done what you needed to do.

"should be more supportive of your fellow human being" What about supporting the human being she killed?

Yeh, abortion is wrong - period. I cannot condone what you did . . . Cannot say it's your choice. Nonsense. You could have left him

then placed the baby for adoption. We adopted our son - thank God his mother did NOT try to abort him, and she was in a terribly abusive situation. Her husband showed up at the hospital while she was in labor, screaming

and yelling at her to get rid of that baby, even then! Thankfully, she knew he would be better off with a family. We took him home when he was 3 days old; he's now in his 20s.
