“I cried the moment I saw my little baby inside of a plastic box.”
“I had visions of three beautiful girls dancing throughout my house. Two big sisters meeting their little sister in the hospital. Everything I ever hoped and dreamed for crashed to the ground.”
“I was bawling so hard I had to pull off the road for a few minutes to get my composure. All my fears and doubts came flooding to my memory. Why am I doing this? Is it just a waste of time and energy? Is she going to change her mind like everyone else? Will I ever be a mom?”
“My safety was placed so far below that of my babies. I spent several hours requesting a c-section. I asked. My parents asked. My husband asked. But the decision came down to one doctor, who I’d never met before that day. And I was only a hairsbreadth away from losing my life.”
“When the news of Roe vs. Wade came out, I began to weep uncontrollably. My heart went to the 19-year-old girl in the same situation right now I once was in. Feeling hopeless and suicidal, but now on top of that being forced to do something against her will. Not having an option, a choice over her BODY which her soul chose specifically for her journey.”
“Miliah has a multitude of serious health conditions that have deeply complicated every facet of her life. Despite it all, she always has a smile on her face and never ever gives up. I am so deeply inspired by her tenacity and willpower.”
“They were calling me a murderer, even when it meant ignoring all the medical professionals and simply allowing myself to die along with Finley. My soul was on fire. And I was angry. No one owes you their story. But I am giving you mine in the hopes it opens your eyes.”
“Mothers are making the hardest decisions of their lives. We don’t know the circumstances. They need to be able to make those decisions without the interference and judgment of others.”
“When I read all these posts about murdering your baby and there’s always help and options and hope – I want to scream back at every single one. You’re wrong. There isn’t always help. It’s not easy. It’s really really really really hard. And there are no laws that make men be fathers.”
“A month ago, Taten and I made the most unthinkable decision to terminate our pregnancy. This is a choice we never thought we would have to make, a choice I honestly never thought about other moms and dads having to go through.”
