Shame

I was young when I got pregnant. I had my first sexual experience just four months before I got pregnant. I could not keep the child. I had issues with my boyfriend because he was in and out of the relationship between me and his ex-girlfriend. I felt like I just couldn't keep it. The shame in my family would have been terrible.
I made the decision within two weeks. I noticed a change in my body and took a pregnancy test when I didn't see my period. I tried to take medication after that, so I still went to a clinic. The doctor told me I was still pregnant, so I had the abortion done. I can't describe how sad I was. It took a while before I could bring myself for confession. I finally did. I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Along the years I took the "morning after pill" from time to time. Now I have finally given my life completely to The Lord and I have vowed to never again commit such an atrocity. It has led me to write this story. I hope I touch someone with this. No decision to kill goes unpunished.
