What I'm saying is that abortion should be looked at as a last resort. If it's needed, then do it. If it has potential of harming you, by all means. But, first consider all options and don't let the stigma of early pregnancy and what others might think or your future "scare" you into aborting. That line of thinking may outweigh considering everything before making the decision. Throwing away a baby, isn't and shouldn't be like throwing away a porno movie you don't want your parents to catch you with because they'll be angry. It's a lot more than that.

To the first point, as I said from the beginning, I'm not going to lie. You are scarred for life from it. It shapes part of who you are, you fail erickson's first stage of development trust/mistrust. I intend to try to find my birth parents, because I want some kind of closure in my life. I don't like being the mythic hero - it's not easy being Luke Skywalker, Superman, Hercules, etc. believe me. But, even with all that, don't want to be dead. Plus as for not feeling "connected" - that's a part of the whole trust/mistrust thing. You're kind of cast out as the mythic hero, everyone wonders what it would be like - but, for that person it's their life. It's not an easy one, it's not a hard one - it's just a life like everyone else. So yeah, the pain is real, it's something that impacts a lot of us - that is true, I've never denied that... but, no matter how much life sucks sometimes, I'd never want to be dead even on the worst days. Kinda just saying, that pain is actually common - but it's something people, somehow get through and deal with like anyone else deals with things in their life.
