Love says: "I sacrifice ME for YOU." Abortion says: "I sacrifice YOU for ME." End of story.

Thank you for sharing your amazing story! You are beautiful inside and out and your courage impacts lives. You, your mom, and your sibling in heaven are in my thoughts and prayers!

This is such a great story, so great. Pro-Life all the way! Every baby is a person, who deserves the chance to live his or her life. It's not our "choice" to take that away from that person. We fight barbaric acts of genocide in the world, aids, hunger - yet we kill millions of babies each year. God bless you for sharing your story.

@peanutmmss Also because sex binds people together, in a way which is cheapened if it is broken with another person. Marriage by definition should be hard to get out of, because when it's hard to love other people we're more likely to leave, which in the end I think is definitely worse for everyone involved and dishonours God who had better intentions for our relationships. These are a few of the reasons I believe sex should be saved from within marriage, but what do you think about that?

@peanutmmss I was really trying to ask why people oppose abortion and would still appreciate replies to that, but to answer your question, I don't believe sex outside a life-long, committed relationship i.e. marriage is appropriate because of first of all I trust the Bible to be the word of the faithful and loving God and Creator of the Universe.

@peanutmmss I am not suggesting that 13-year-old's or even all adult married heterosexual couples are responsible enough to raise children well. My argument isn't against single parents either, although I would think that it would be a struggle to bear the task of child-raising alone.

[peanutmmss]

@AZ932932 i don't think it's fair to say that marriage indicates the ultimate level of love and commitment that an unmarried partnership somehow can't match. if that were true, the divorce rate wouldn't be so high. it also implies single or unmarried parents aren't as good parents...

[peanutmmss]

@AZ932932 there are few restrictions on who can marry and at what age/level of maturity (besides denying homosexuals this basic right.) if this girl had been married at age thirteen would that have magically made her fit to be a parent and be having sex? what about adult couples who never marry?

@IAmKingBonzo If your problem with Christians has to do with the post before you by ZippysGal. I just want to add to what she said, the God of the Bible doesn't ban sex, in fact it was one of the first commands to men and women was to "increase in number, fill the earth". However the Bible says the appropriate context of this is marriage, because of important things like commitment, love and parenting. But if your reason for calling Christians crazy is that many oppose abortion, can I ask, why?

God bless you for your courage! It shouldn't have to take courage to speak about something so honest&true. But in this sad world it often does. Many will want2 ignore your message. But many more will love it +praise God for your survival. May God be with you+ bless you. I am sorry about your twin (whom, I believe, God holds lovingly), yet so happy 2 see your bright, shining face telling your amazing story. You're a beautiful, sweet young lady+God has a purpose 4 you, as I'm sure you truly know!!
