I have heard people come up with the most ridiculious excuses to why they decided to have an abortion, but to say oh that child would have been abused! Oh come on!! Like one of the previos post yes people go through tough times and its awful at some of the things some people have gone through, but life is a challenge and its always going to be. We can't stop it because its always going to happen. I was abused when I was 8yrs old, but I got through it and I don't let it ruin my life. I am a survivor and I have moved on just like alot of people have. I don't ever say it would have been better if I was just aborted then I wouldn't had to go through the things I went through. No it made me a stronger person and a fighter. I am proud of all the things I have accomplished in my life. I don't let the bad times rule my life. I try and make life the best that I can. Stop with all the stupid excuses because thats all they are.
