fien 2008-03-25 ch 1, anon.	abuseOur religion teacher read that or something very similar but in german to us when we discussed abortion. I think it's a good and shocking way to describe how the child might feel, but albeit I'm against abortion most times, it wouldn't convince me not to kill my child if I wanted to in the first place. It's just because I can't bring myself to believe that they, the unborn, are able or just do view life as we do, that they know about it. At least I always hope they don't. Anyway, it possesses the ability to make one more aware of the fact that everything is life, no matter how small or insignificant it seems.
Fiore Chnudth 2007-10-26 ch 1,	abuseStrange little piece this one. I find it difficult to speak of abortion in political terms here, so I shall refrain from that, and only speak that I should have liked the end to be more forceful. KH KHL
Unfunny 2007-09-02 ch 1,	abuseI'm for abortion, but I did like this story, you write very well.
Nicki Saint 2007-08-21 ch 1,	abuseI considered abortion for the first month of my pregnancy. Looking back, I can still understand why I would have done it. Getting pregnant is very scary; I felt alone and terrified. I thought I would never be able to show my face at school or anywhere in public again. In the later months, even after I decided against aborting, it only got harder; it felt like everywhere I went, people were staring at my swollen belly and considering my young age, and my parents were very disapproving. Everybody was against me--or that's what it felt like. Abortion is a difficult option; not just because it's so controversy, but because you either live with the guilt of killing a child, or you live with the guilt of having the baby and giving it up for adoption, perhaps dooming it to a life worse than death--or you live with your decision to raise a child by yourself when you're hardly an adult yourself. Bravo for putting your opinion out there, though.
Katherine-the-greate 2007-08-15 ch 1,	abuseAbortion is wrong. If you get pregnent then God ment for you to bear a child, and if you are unable to safly have that child then loosing it may be viewed as a test of strengeth and loss.Even the bible talks about a woman being raped and giving birth to a child that later became very imporant to God. the moral: DONT HAVE AN ABORTION JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN, ONLY DO IT IF IT IS ABSOLUTLY NESSICARY FOR EVERYONE'S HEALTH!
remae 2007-05-23 ch 1,	abuseThis was pretty moving. I kept thinking "aww" as I read it, but I felt like I didn't want to scroll down to read more becuase I knew what was coming, but I HAD to, regardless. The ending was so chilling, if that makes sense, haha.
Kirane 2007-03-28 ch 1,	abuseM...I didn't really like this. I agree that abortion is wrong, but as a story this didn't work for me. I just get the feeling that it's dates and development stages with occasional thoughts tacked on. Obviously it's difficult to characterize someone with little interactions, but this story didn't make me care at all about the baby (on a fictional level). One way you could improve this is make it twins, since scientists have been able to record physical interactions between twins in the womb, so you could have a lot more potential for characterization. Also, although the ending had some effect, the rest of the story was so terse that the ending didn't seem as abrupt as I think it was meant to be.
Ugh. . . 2006-12-20 ch 1, anon.	abuseThis just annoyed me. Abortion's so overrated. In the first month or two, the baby is nothing. It's an embryo, a paresite. It cannot think, or anything like that. After about three months or so; abortions are just cruel but if done in the right amount of time there's nothing wrong with them.
angels and effects 2006-10-06 ch 1,	abuseOh gosh, poignantly written, I like how you end it. Even though it was sad and all. I'm definitely against abortion, unless it's endangering the mother's life or something. It's a very well-structured piece, how you write the dates and how the baby 'speaks'. It has that youthful innocence, you know? I like the way you say 'Even the fact that I shall love flowers' too, it's a little thing about genetic make-up. I'm just a little put off about how the mother took a month to abort the baby - most of them will do it as soon as possible. Not that they SHOULD do it, and I don't know much about abortion, but that's the only thing I wanted to point out. Of course, the date the mother aborted her baby's pretty close to my birthday... LOL! You know how they say it... short and sweet! It's a pretty good testament to all the mothers out there. Great job!
NO LONGER USING 2006-08-01 ch 1,	abusethat's a very sad ending. Very nicely written though...
supplanter-of-tomorrow 2006-06-26 ch 1,	abusedude this is sad. weeps uncontrollably, and runs for soda and chocolate
Starrlena 2006-06-12 ch 1,	abuseI like it but I really thought you should have gotten more in depth with the scenes, or something. It's very touching and heartfelt. I'm not saying if I am against or for abortion. However, I do believe that people should have choices on what they want to do. Some women get rapped and they get pregnant... Others have a child with a learning disability, they can't handle or pay for. I am someone with a learning disability and I've seen it go both ways.But I don't think you should be so judgmental because you don't know the whole story, on what the women is going through.
Weeping Duck 2005-10-25 ch 1,	abuseI once read this in a book or magazine, and it made me bawl buckets. Since then, I'd completely forgotten about it. This is one of the saddest stories with the most emotion that I've ever read. No matter how many times it's read, the meaning is always so strong and truthful. I wish more of today's society would read this and see what a negative impact abortion has.
