    Dear Samantha,
    You, are so welcome for the comment, I made on your poem..I meant it...Thank you, for your wonderful comment, you just gave me on my write..Your, beliefs are mine also..When, I wrote this write I was going to just rip it up..Because I didn't want people to think I was trying to hurt them ,and make them feel guilty..I, stopped the write..But, when I went to bed, It would keep me up night, after night just like it was haunting me..So, one night I got up and came down to the computer, an finished it..I knew in my heart, I just had to finish this write..I truthfully believe, my pen was in God's hand ..I believe if my write saves even one baby, anything ,and everything I ever wrote, would be so worth it for me ..It, would be all I needed to accomplish, in my writings..Thank you, with all my heart..For your kind comment on this write..
    God, bless you always,
    Betty

    Betty,
    My name is Samantha and first off I must greatly thank you for the sweet comment you left with regards to my latest poem. And thank you so much for all of the best wishes! I read your poem and this made me get teary eyed. You depicted so well what choices a mother goes through especially in crazy circumstances whether to choose life or to choose abortion. Personally, I disagree with abortion completely because deep down I feel "if you're not ready for the consquences then don't have sex." BUT if in a case of rape or something of that sort I do understand that the girl will be extremely scared and won't know what to do which in that case I say you should give the child up for adoption. Or if you're not ready for a baby but you're pregnant give the child up for adoption. That's probably the greatest gift a mother could give to her kid in that circumstance. The child would get raised in a loving family that the mother would have a say about, and she can check in on the child as much as she wants. You did an amazing piece here Betty! Truely, amazing. <3 Sam

    This was a wonderful wonderful write. You wrote with emotion and feeling that came through. I really liked. It reminded me of myself, my first husband wanted me to abort our child or he would leave me, so I made the appointment, but in the end could not go through with it, so I told him to leave and kept my baby, who know is 21 years old and I don't know life without my son. How could have I actually thought of killing him. Very nice work. The lord has us in his hands...Molly

    This is a powerful write. Please don't apologize for your writing. People lead us to believe today that our beliefs are separate from who we are, but your beliefs define who you are and what you'll do. For that, you owe nobody an apology. If someone is offended, the problem is theirs and not yours.

    Personally, I have a great deal of respect for the women who choose life for their babies, and I make no apology for my thoughts on that. I have a son because another woman decided do give him life, and give him us as his family. I'm grateful to her, and we really love our son.

    Speaking from a literary standpoint, I thought you were well structured, and conveyed the emotion from the standpoint of the one who cannot speak. Very well done. Don't apologize for it.
