Notes About The Poem

To all those who are against abortion: Forgive me if I tend to side with the Pro-choice women. I read their stories at NARAL Pro-choice America so I made a prayer for them. Please don't hesitate to ask questions id you want or make a comment.

My spiritual director, Father Piers Lahey, pastor of Saint Andrew Church, Daly City, CA. I haven't heard from him or gotten any reply on email. God gave us a very difficult assignment, he has to think and consider his co-priest that will be mad at him for a while for listening to God through me. I hope you enjoy reading, take care and God bless.

Abortion Prayer 2

ABORTION PRAYER 2a

Almighty Eternal God

I was 16
Dating a cute boy
We had sex
I got pregnant

My mom helped me figure out how to get an abortion
I am now 52
Have a master’s degree
Have 2 teen kids

Had I not been able to get an abortion when I was 16
where would I be at 52
The curly Blonde baby angel said that the babies are safe in heaven
God wants to give us women a chance/choice to save ourselves

I am not ready in my life yet
I have so many dreams 
I want to fulfill so when I’m ready to have my kids
I can be a good mother to them

Please forgive me I have to return the baby 
You entrusted to my care in Fr. Christ name
I thank You for Your forgiveness
Amen

Bless you Jacqueline. I am pro-choice... abortion a decision not taken lightly but must be given with weight. That I believe is respecting life. Not every seed can or will flourish; that is why there are so many. ~Maureen

Maureen u know thank u for believing in me unfortunately, it seems like my spiritual director doesn't want to go on with pro-choice, I guess he's scared of what other priest will think of him, so I just toldhim to go on with his life and let me think about how to do it... ~Jacqueline
