Hummm … clapping seems like the wrong emotion … maybe we need a virtual hug icon. You probably don’t give yourself enough credit for being brave beyond your years.

Wow … I had not thought about abortion from your 18 year old perspective with this much detailed thought.

Sadly life presents us with many “upside down situations” …

It would be better if it was much harder to get pregnant and easier (emotionally and physically) to get an abortion.

The same should apply to marriage. It should be harder to get married and easier to get divorced.

This would not eliminate the emotional pain but it would happen to fewer people and maybe not felt as deeply.

Thanks for sharing such intimate thoughts.
