About The Author
I just want to say that I whole heartedly support your website and beliefs about abortion. I came to the point in my life that we live in a sick and cruel world and theres nothing I can personally do to change it all. A little change at a time helps, but our world has more hate than love in it and hate is more contagious than love so I dont see hope for our future generation of kids. I am so deeply saddened by abortion. I just cant fathom the pain that babies go through when they are being ripped apart in pieces. My stomach is literally in knots and I just want to cry. I guess I just dont understand how people can do it… dont they think about that poor baby?? dont they realize that they can give the baby to any hospital and that hospital will take it without asking any questions?? What is wrong with our society… I sometimes wish I didnt have to be around to witness it
