Abortion 4

Almighty Eternal God

I had a lump on my neck for a couple of years
 Seen a doctor and told me it can be a cancer if I don’t remove it
I’m pregnant and the problem is I cannot have surgery while pregnant 
The father of my baby left me because of my decision to have an abortion

  The neck surgery was immediately scheduled
I was diagnosed with medullary thyroid cancer 
that had already spread to surrounding lymph nodes
I had more surgery and radioactive iodine treatments that year 

Until there was finally no trace of the disease 
Without the choice to have an abortion
I may not have survived 
You told the curly Blonde baby angel
 
“Tell the priest that the babies are safe in Heaven
You want to give us women chance ]on the left ear] choice [on the right ear] to save ourselves
 Abortion is incredibly a hard decision
The decision I have not regretted a day in my life

I greatly thank You for Your forgiveness 
For having wide wisdom in my state of life
Please continue giving me a strongest faith
Fortitude to have strength and be courageous

Perseverance in taking care the rest of my life in Fr. Christ name. Amen.
