Bad Decisions Poem by Stefanie rodriguez

You never really understand what it feels like to go through something until you go through it yourself.
But the worst feeling is when you know you've changed your mind but it was too late and there was nothing you could do about it.
When people see you go through something they say things like 'i know what your going through' or 'its going to be OK'..
It'll be 'OK' for them because they didn't go through it,
They didn't have to make a decision,
They weren't put in a situation where NO WAY OUT was an easy way out.
Its unfair to those who have to choose the worst way out.

There are bad decisions such as giving up the one you love, adoption, and the worst decision of them all.. Abortion.
Giving up the one you love isn't as bad because if it were meant to be they would come back.
Adoption isn't as bad because there are types of adoption where you can see your child.
But abortion is something that cant be undone.
Its taking a life that was never even lived, not even for a second.
ABORTiON iS CRUEL! .
Its unfair to these little babies who cant come into this world and live their lives ONLY because they are considered 'mistakes'..
People make mistakes all the time,
But a baby should never be considered one.
A baby should NEVER be put in the category OF 'mistakes'! .

July 21,2011, a 16 year old girl made the decision to take the life of a fetus.
9: 30am she was in the hospital, laying on the operating bed with tears in her eyes.
The doctors gave her medication to put her to sleep.
When she changes her mind its quite too late...
'cause she was already asleep.
She had a beautiful dream. She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and she raised him.
Something in her dream was telling to wake up,
Maybe if she did it wouldnt be too late to stop the doctors from doing something she would regret for the rest of her life.
But.. IT WAS TOO LATE! .
She woke up in a hospital bed two and a half hours later and her fetus was gone.
She didnt know what to think,
What to do,
All she could do was cry and think of how much pain she was in.
She made the mistake of letting doctors take away what was hers.
Now she thinks that maybe that fetus was meant to happen out of a beautiful mistake,
The way it happened was THE mistake.
Also considering abortion was the mistake.
But that baby wasn't and not for one second did she think it was! .

She wakes up every morning to realize that the girl writing this was me,
Stefanie Marie Rodriguez.
I am writing this to let the readers know that its OK to acknowledge the mistakes you make in life.
Also to let every female AND doctor out there know that abortion should be ILLEGAL! .
Its murder! .
Yes I went through it but I tried to wake up,
I tried to stop it.
And I thought I would fall into depression but thank god I didn't.
And I would never hate myself for the decisions that I made,
Because I know that if I would have kept that baby I would have loved that baby with all my heart and that baby would have looked up to me as the BEST mom in the world.
Every mistake is made for a reason,
So LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE! .
But most importantly LEARN from your mistakes! .
