Hi Laur ~

I just wanted to say that I kind of know where you are coming from. When I was 21 and still in school full time, I found out that I was pregnant. I was also unmarried and not in a real good position to have the child. I'm a very strong supporter of a woman's right to choose. Personally, I chose to leave school and have the baby, a decision I have never, ever once regretted. I can only speculate that I probably wouldn't feel the same way if I had chosen an abortion. I don't however, agree that there are karmic repercussions to abortion. To me, that sounds to much like the old Catholic Church talk of sinners will be punished type stuff. I hope that whatever decision you end up making, you make it because it is what you truly want to do, not because you feel forced into it. Good luck!
