my boyfriend walks up to me and holds me close. i cry into his chest and even half-scream a little bit. he strokes my hair while my mascara is probably running down his shirt at this very moment. i pull away for a minute hoping he'll say something to comfort me.
"hey. it's okay, emily. everything's going to be alright." he says still stroking my hair and wiping my tears away. i still have a right to be petrified. i'll be on that show with high schoolers that have babies.
"i'm just so scared. i don't know what to do! i don't want to have a kid. i should have one when i'm married and..." i trail off. "my dad is going to take away my beautiful promise ring. i forgot all about it until the pregnancy test. oh!" i keep crying.
"hey. it's okay. you can always have an abortion. problem solved! no kid." he tells me. i nod and think about it. i whisper a quick thank-you to don and get in my car and drive to the hospital.

so. emily's in some trouble right here. she did something not meant to be done until you're married. but sometimes, you do it and don't expect for anything to happen and sure enough, it does. everyone thinks that hey, abortion is a way to solve the problem. but it's not. abortion is murder no matter what circumstance. look at Exodus 20:1-21. what is that? bingo! it's the ten commandments. and what is the sixth commandment? i'll write it in big bold letters.
THOU SHALL NOT KILL
and guess what you just did by having an abortion? you just killed a little baby boy or girl. and GOD had plans for that child. big plans. probably bigger than anything you can imagine! and you know what you just did? crushed The LORD's dreams for that child. ABORTION IS WRONG! say it with me! *ABORTION IS WRONG!!!!*
God tells in the Bible that we all have special reasons why we're here in this world. and only He knows what those plans are. teenagers normally get into this situation. they think nothing will happen and something does. then they want to get rid of the problem and they immediately think abortion. guys normally try running away from it all. hop on a bus to the airport, buy a ticket to puerto-rico and they're off! faster than you can say 'pansycake!' (divergent fans, anyone?) there are millions of people who probably had an abortion. and half regret it and half don't. if it was me, i'd regret it for the rest of my life.
abortion is wrong. completely. find some sad stories of abortion on the internet. i did. and they are horrible. remember. you'll know as soon as your girly thing is missing that week. it'll be scary. i just know it. no, this has never happened to me, and i hope it never will happen. just remember this post if you're ever in the situation emily is in.
*the story is realistic-fiction. hense the author wrote it. this was NOT a true story, but it could be.
this is so true, Meena. it is so refreshing to see a young girl who has such a clear view + strong opinion on something like this. i've always been very passionate about abortion--that to have an abortion is murder, no matter how you put it. thank you for sharing your views, girly, and for taking a stand against this evil that is rampant in the US.
