Re: So very sad. Sadder than you think!

I find your post to be full of disturbing messages... Your boyfriend is screwing around with different women trying to knock one up because he couldn't get you pregnant?!? Good grief! What has happened to the world?

Call me old fashioned but:

#1 Consider yourself lucky to be rid of the dolt!

#2 In a time when the religious zealots who are running the US are concerned that gay couples are endangering the sanctity of marriage, nobody seems to notice that marriage does not seem to be all that sanctified - apparently, young people today have figured out that the words "I Do" are not a magic spell that turn on the reproduction abilities and are therefore not necessary to ever say to anyone. Committment is no longer necessary and seemingly undesired!

#3 Perhaps the problem with you getting pregnant was not 100% with you? Perhaps some primal instinctual part of you was not allowing him to impregnate you knowing full well that once the kid was around and Daddy Dearest realized how much work and committment was involved, the sperm donor be heading for the door. Or maybe his equipment is faulty.

#4 Abortion was never meant to be used as birth control. Scarring is always a risk and repeated abortions can indeed compromise your fertility. Remember the old saying 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?' It applies here. Abortion can be a lifesaver for a women who finds herself the unfortunate victim of circumstance but many use it as a "back-up" and that is just wrong. It endangers their health and their future fertility and doctors who do not discourage this are doing a great disservice to their patients.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're somehow a bad person for wanting to have a child, nor are you a bad person because you have had an abortion. Instead of worrying about Mr. I-just-wanna-get-a-girl-pregnant-to-prove-I-can, worry about your health and meeting the right guy you want to spend your life with. The guy who will go out in the pouring rain at 2 am and walk 4 blocks to the 7-11 and get cold medicine for you because you were coughing and couldn't sleep. When you meet that guy, then say 'I Do' and toss aside your birth control. Until then, take those pills, use that diaphragm, use those condoms every time and protect your future and your future children.

Good luck and happy hunting!

A woman happily married to and completely in love with that guy.
