Her suicide note read: "I told everyone I didn't want to do it, even at the hospital. I was frightened, now it is too late. I died when my babies died. I want to be with my babies: they need me, no-one else does."

...

"She was only going ahead with the abortion because her boyfriend did not want the twins.

[mossrose]

A tragedy, indeed.

[Philosophickle]

Wow. That is terribly disturbing.

[Chaotic Void]

Tragic...

[dizzle]

there's a boyfriend out there that I have very strong feelings against at this point, selfish [expletive] comes into mind

It makes you stop and wonder just how often women have gone through with an abortion, against their better judgment, just to please or obey a parent, boyfriend or husband.

Indeed it does...
Actually, I know of someone who had an Abortion back when she was a teenager, a little over 30 years ago. Her Parents forced her to have one, and she says that the abortion still haunts her to this day...

And yeah, it was my mother.

I can't imagine all the psychological harm pro-life people are trying to inflict on poor women by opposing abortion.

Anxiety, depression? Where was the rest of the family?

It's just wrong on so many levels. What are we doing to ourselves. When will we understand that this just can't continue. Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.

Dude, we live in a civilization where people willingly use a product that increases one's chances of cancer by a full magnitude! People show such ill regard to their own bodies.

[Vigilante]

How tragic.

I hate to politicize this, but I wonder if the major liberal news media is reporting this? Or if it's shoved under the rug, or how they are handling the situation.

Not unless Paris Hilton was involved and somebody took a cell phone picture of her privates.

Hmmm, yes that's true. OR if there was a Christian anywhere within a 3 mile radius within that time. I'm sure they would draw the connection between the evil Christian and the poor woman who was forced to do this by his evil religion.

P.S. For some women in Hollywood, they don't have such things as "privates", because "publics" would probably work as a better description.

this is the end result of "choice."

[Vigilante]

This is the result of a women who apparently had no other loving influences in her life to lean on and instead was pressured solely by a lazy good for nothing boyfriend who wasn't ready to take responsibility for anything he did. It's sad she had nobody to lean on, and if she did, it's sad she didn't listen.

We don't know that for sure... if this woman had a mental disorder (she may have, according to the news article), then she may not have processed the fact that anyone loved her.

I often hear "if my parents found out I'm pregnant, they'll kill me." I wonder if the baby were able to speak, would they say the same thing?

That wouldn't change anything, it's not the child that is the problem, it would be her actions that cause the upset.
I can only hope such killer parents wouldn't have any murderous thoughts for the life within. It isn't the babies fault, after all.
