On one hand you're pro-choice, on the other you're feeling guilty about having had an abortion. Seems you aren't quite convinced, either way. What do you mean about then guilt and now guilt? I didn't quite get that. I'm not pro-choice at all, used to be. But we won't get into that. The important thing is that you want your baby, and you wanted your baby when you miscarried. Obviously, if this is bothering you-- that you had an abortion, and that you feel God is punishing--somewhere inside you, part of you isn't so sure abortion is right. All I can tell you is to pray for your child, regardless of your past, or your political positon with regard to abortion, the fact of the matter is that child that is in your womb will likely be loved. It's all that matters. And if you find your abortion is haunting you, I think you should deal with it, ask for forgiveness, forgive yourself, and move on. The most important thing is your child now. Eat well, sleep well, live healthily, and think happy thoughts.
The whole thing about abortion is that we tend to think that we're not dealing with a bonafide full-fledged human life, and that any remorse or repugnance about abortion is just a romantic notion that sways our judgement. I know that's how I used to think. To me it was the equivalent of killing a lizard and we were swayed by its human form. Excuse my crudeness, but to me an abortion was no more wrong than flushing a sperm down the toilet. Then when my daughter was 5 months in the womb, I started to realize their was a human being in there, not just any human being that was my own flesh and blood. I started interacting with my child in various ways. I would talk and sing to her and I would press on my wife's belly and interact. She would hear my voice and go to the side of the womb that I was on. When she was born, she was in a nurses arms and crying. The nurses were astounded when they saw how she stopped crying immediately when she heard my voice. I don't want to be preaching at you, nor am I trying to make you feel guilty. The feelings of remorse you are feeling are natural and justified. It means your a compasionate human being. I was reading just tonight about how most women who get a abortion are totally blasé about it, they joke even.
So regardless of your position on abortion, or what you think your position is, or what you've done in the past you are a caring mother expecting a child. To God, that's all that matters.
