Thank you for sharing your story. I've known you for 29 years and just knew fragments of your story. Thank you for your honesty and as I read the details of your life, I felt sadness for the heartaches you endured even before your birth.

My biological dad was around at my birth but he had no real love for me or my mom. Possibly if she had a choice to abort me, she might have.

I remember driving my friend to the abortion clinic. I'm glad she didn't keep the child. She was in a physically and emotionally abusive relationship.

I, too, hate the divisiveness of the pro life pro choice debate. Things aren't always black and white. We need to hear one another's stories.

I don't believe God is as dogmatic as we'd like to make him. I believe his grace is as vast as the universe. Not humanly perceptible.

I pray as people, we can become stronger in our giving of grace instead of judgement--me included!
