    How do you all deal with past abortions?

    knowing you did what was right at the time. You allowed that soul to find someone in a position to bring it through and raise it's physical shell well.
    and lots of forgiveness for yourself.

    If something was medically wrong with the baby i would have an abortion in saying that i mean if something was going to harm ME and the baby i would. But just to have an abortion because my husband say or because i got raped or because it was a "mistake" No child comes into this world as a mistake. They are all blessings. They have to take the consequence right? No! Who in their right mind wants to see a baby being sucked into a vacuum. Better yet being murdered. If that ever happened to me i'd go bonkers. I wouldn't take it to well.

    I once knew a girl who had a miscarriage and she was all fine she must of had some hurt in her . But all she said to me was If God wanted me to have this baby it would of meant to be right? She had a still born. thats it. And she had a funeral and everything. But imagine how strong she was for 17 years old!!

    No, mama, no worries! I think someone else tried to turn it into a debate. Drumminmama seems to have deleted the post - just as well. :)

    I think you will have decent feedback here, with less of the hateful "you murderer" sorts of posts.
    In Japan there is a festival to honor the stillborn, miscarried and aborted.
    I think that a similar ceremony where you release the hopes of what could have been, questions and blame (g-d knows others will blame you enough) and simply say good bye is deeply healing, no matter if you do it the week of or 50 years later.
