Abortion Protest makes UNT News

I was interviewed for this. My story is in the paper. If you don't know who I am...just ask. Everyone has their opinion...and I know many people will make it known here. I'm not proud...I'm not happy...

I wanted to explain my recent funk...these are the best words I have. I'm sorry you guys...

Steve, if you only had a clue...

"Aaron Giles, Lake Worth freshman, has also had experience with abortion: He supported his girlfriend when she got one. They planned to have the baby and get married, but things changed after doctors told her that, due to the speed of the baby's development and her size, there was a great chance of the death of the baby or mother or both."  

A decision of that magnitude should really hit home for anyone attempting to limit your rights - maybe not convert anyone, but definitely open the tables for discussion.  What can you do?  You're stuck.  No doubt this is going to stick with you your whole life.  What could be done was done and thats all you can say.  Maybe I don't know the whole story, but don't let some demonstration bring you down.  Others, myself included, cannot comprehend the situation til we've been through it - you're absolutely right.

Thanks, Oct. If I get time, I'll tell the story.

Steve, no, 4th and 26 does not hurt. Right now, such things are trivial...

all people do not feel  pain over the same things.
I do not feel your pain, but sympathize nonetheless.

for me,   4th and 26 still hurts.

I think I can relate Tex. My wife is a carrier of duchenne muscular dystrophy, it's the worst kind, most do not live past twenty years of age. It's a very cruel disease. Right after a conception there is a test, first to see if it's a male or female(females do not get duchenne). If it's a boy there is another test to determine if he has the disease. We had made the choice not to bring someone into the world with the disease. Some people may not agree with that, but we feel in our hearts it is the right choice. And I am happy that we at least have the choice, not government telling us what that choice should be. Sometimes hard decisions are made, and they are not easy to do, but you do what you feel in your heart is the right thing to do. Sorry if my post offended you, I was just trying to lighten up the mood.

My ex-wife had an abortion while we were married.
Thats all fine and dandy exept i did not know about it!

She lied to the DRs and told them she was single.

So now im 46 and will never have a child.
waite a minute I did have a child once.

You see where im going with this.
It may be a womans right to choose.
But at what point do the fathers of these babies have a say so?

I agree with Octavius.

Times like these it's best to keep your person center and don't let opinion of others effect that.  You know you're a good person and the decision you made needed to be made.

For me, the only thing I can do is talk about it. Unfortunatly, due to the lack of maturity and decency among her classmates, I was running out of people to talk to. I was called everything under the sun you could imagine, and though I tried to not let it bother me after so long it wears you down.

My girlfrind and I were planning on getting married. We were ready for it, too. I had everything worked out and set up. I was prepared, and so was she. We decided that was what we wanted. It was not an accidental pregnancy, and we made a mutual decision about it. But after about two and a half months, she wasn't feeling too well, worse off than the normal symptoms. Doctors told her that due to the speed of development and her size (she's not a large woman), there was a good cahnce that she or they both could die before delivery.

It's a hard choice. I left it up to her and supported her all the way through. But everyone had to critisize...they wanted me dead. I recieved death threats...had my car pelted with footballs or rocks...had my house TPs and garage door spraypainted. I was Public Enemy No. 1 in my home town. It's things like that that make me wonder about it still.

I know that this isn't the best place to post something like this, especially on a personal level like this. But I had to take it somewhere, and I thought it best to talk to my friends I've made online about it. At least here, I know I can talk to at least somebody if I need to.

I don't want a pity party, if anyone here is thinking that. For one, I wanted to explain my recent funk, and two as I said, to talk to someone. I'm sorry if some of you don't like it...and if I'm asked I'll ask Skuzzy to remove the thread.

The simple fact that this bothers you tells me that you will make a wonderful parent someday. Time is the salve that heals. You will be OK.

I'll second this post. Give yourself time. You won't foget, but it will get better. Life is all about choices and growing from them. You're on your way, look forward to what is ahead, don't dwell on what is behind.

Now I remember why I don't like abortion activists.  No support, only hate.

I think you mean anti-abortists right?

there are some medical procedures, as need in Texaces case, which would be allowed even if abortion as we know it today would be outlawed as it should

you think the doc would stand by and watch the mother die?
