Abortion

My baby, my baby She was taken from me Torn from my body I was left in agony I don't doubt that she felt it I know that I did Her body the size of my thumb from foot to head They call this a sin, but what could I do My mother said "Go" So I had to Sixteen and pregnant Wow what a mess But now that she's gone I hope she's at rest

You are already forgiven, if that means anything to you, and your baby is safe with God. Choices in life are heartbreaking and you made the best one you could - God Bless YOu.

This is so sad. I feel your anguish if this is a real happening in your life and not just a topic. God will forgive if you ask and repent which means that you are sorry and with God's help will never let it happen again. Then you have to forgive yourself and go on. Keep the creative pen flowing.Welcome to soup. Sara

The soul does not come in until the seventh month, but it is best karma to follow lifes offerings. She is fine, her soul found other parents.
