I went through with it; Taylor's Story 07/12/2010
On the 18th of August I found out that I was 4 weeks pregnant, after that I immediately told my parents. My dad was angry and my mom was sad. They hadn’t even met the guy I was dating yet. He had an earring and I knew my father wouldn’t like him. I thought my life was over. After a few days, my parents calmed down and wanted to meet my boyfriend, Joe. Joe and I met at university and lived in separate towns. We made arrangements for him to come to my parents' house for a weekend visit. I was very nervous about his arrival, I was certain that it would be the most awkward weekend ever. When Joe arrived, I was so surprised by how kind my parents were to him. My father and Joe found that they had a mutual obsession with hunting and the outdoors. The two of them spent most of the weekend in my dad’s garage talking about their hunting adventures. I discovered that a new life was about to begin for Joe and I. Joe began spending more and more time visiting my family and me. One month before our son was born, Joe and I got married. My father helped Joe find a job and my mother helped me find and decorate our new little home. I am currently working on finishing college and I know that there is a bright future ahead for our new family. . Commentsestefany u 08/27/2010 2:30pm

I am truly happy for both of you and your family. Unfortuntaly mine wasn't such a happy ending. I also got pregant after dating for 3years. we were high school seniors. I told him and the first response was what are we going to do. I wanted my child. But was forced to have an abortion. This has scared me for life. My boyfriend left after the abortion and for 35 yrs I held this feeling of guilt.I would love to talk to woman who are considering this. To advise them what you go through after the fact. I feel that they do not relalize the emotional spirtual and mental scaring you go through. Plus always the questions. Dana Hankins 02/25/2011 6:16pm
I totally love your story. I am not pregnant but do have 6 lovely children. I doing a report for English class over abortion. Your paper came up. I hope you are having a great life with your new baby. Gerry 03/14/2011 6:11am
I was just doing some research and found your post. My wife was raped and went through all the nasty comments from people such as friends, the police, lawyers and then the courts. Long story short, about 3% of rape victims become pregnant, not believing in abortion she said; “if God didn’t want me to be pregnant I wouldn’t be”. The trial was nasty, he got off, yet within two months of that ending his reign of terror came to an end; as nine other women came forward and he was charged, he pleaded guilty to reduce his sentence. Having to serve a maximum of 20 years! I was able to give her baby my name because God open the door nearly sixteen years later for our daughter, thank God she wasn’t aborted. She is a college student, and manager of a clothing store, abortions steal life’s wonderful possibilities. stephanie 04/12/2011 9:12pm

What a great story of hope, love, and courage; for Taylor feared the worst; and as it turned-out, the best came true for her. What is the lesson to be learned from her story? Face the very worst fear that you have first; then the rest will take care of itself. God bless you all. Amen. Maria 07/26/2011 9:23am
Lovely story and i am truly happy that it worked out for you. But not all stories have happy endings, abortion for some is necessary and ultimately their choice. Reading the comment of a 17 years saying that she has 3 children already makes me wonder where the parents are when their babies are having babies of their own! what about contraception??? and not all women go through traumatic moral dilemmas, if raped i would most probably think that the abortion would be a relief, i would not want to stare in the face of the one that raped me for the rest of my life. We are all different and feel differently, an abortion is a very difficult and emotional step to take, if you make that decision no one will judge you, your body your life. I myself never had to have one but i would support any woman that wanted one. Courtney 08/31/2011 10:38pm
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in teh secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Psalm 139:13-16 Lizzie 09/02/2011 5:36am
Courtney, wow! Make sure you let your friend know about the other options she has - especially adoption! And more than anything, let her know that you are there for her. She needs support right now, in whatever decision she ends up making! Hopefully it's for Life. Emily 01/17/2012 8:33pm
I know this comment probably won't be posted--but honestly, people like this are the reason the divorce rate in our country is so high. Okay, so you got pregnant and wanted to keep the baby. That is absolutely amazing and please know that I commend this girl for following through. I am, however, highly critical of their decision to get married so soon. Getting married after being together for such a short time and rushing into it before "baby" comes is such a ridiculous and ignorant option (when I say "shotgun", you say "wedding")--and NOT always best for the child. They should have given it more time before they got married to see if they were truly capable of raising a child together; otherwise, it just holds the woman back from finding the right father figure for her baby.
