The language seen the photograph was very clear which made
me understand how an aborted child looks. In my eyes this was a
sinful decision to kill an innocent human being who has done
nothing wrong.
When I first found out about you I just turned 28 (it was my
birthday)..I historically cried in the doctors office...I knew my
period hadn't come in 3 months...but I was stressed out to to the
max..thought my period delay was stress..until I knew....it only
took a couple days to get over the initial shock of it all..after that..I
couldn't stop daydreaming about you..I fell in love..wondering if
you had your dad's eyes..or his hair..or even his facial
features..would you be just as tall was him? I dreamed of dancing
in the living room with you..making you dance....singing, doing air
guitar with some really good 80s songs. You hugging
me....napping with me, saw your first day of elementary..to your
high school..to you moving on throughout your years..the ones I
looked forward too..is when I felt your hand as I was walking to
work..even swear to god your dad was happy too..but I guess
not..he was more shocked how my body was growing for you..but
in his mind he made it clear. All he had in his Head was red flags
everywhere....I didn't wanna raise you without a father..or have to
rely on child support..nor did I want anyone to take "my precious
moments" and miss it all because it'll be theirs..not mine..I was
afraid in time they probably won't live in the same state as me and
fear I'll never see you again..I had a family who probably wouldn't
say much to me if I told them....since they are in a different
state....my boyfriend's mother telling me that her son "isn't
ready"...and co-workers telling me "girl power.." I felt like I was a
tug-of-war....after my boyfriend told me his true feelings...I
decided not to keep you anymore...it's not because of him..it's
because I don't want to raise you on my own, without a father,
nonetheless who is having panicky thoughts...his complaining
about the crying....and so forth....I feel I'll never have another
chance....my motivation is gone..my little boy gone...he faded
away has soon as I heard his fathers emotions..my eyes can't
stop feeling so lost and hopeless..I'm so sorry my sweet baby
boy, mommy will always love you.....I guess it's just not the "right
time" and it hurts..please comfort me whenever you
can.....mommy will need you in times of sorrow..I'm so sorry..I
hope Jesus will love your wavy black hair..
Group Report
Theme: Abortion
Jhanelle Brown
Tori-Ann Adams
Dejonae Miller
Shaniel Brown
The group theme is abortion, the group topics are “How does an
abortion affects a females health?”, “What influences females to do
an abortion?”, “What are the health risks of an abortion?”
Three pieces of data was selected among the group members, the
information in these data explained our topics clearly which helped
us to complete this group report.
The article was an anonymous piece from the New York Times, it
was selected to show how little and carefree a female can think
about an abortion. The language was formal, so readers could
understand what was being written. The image used was a photograph
of an aborted baby in a doctor’s hand. This image had me thinking
about a young child losing his or her chance of living a full life. The
title of the song is “The Gift of Life” by “Desmond Child” the song
speaks about two young adults who were reckless and made a mistake
of having an abortion which they ended up regretting.
In completion of this School Based Assessment (SBA) process it
has been fulfilling, it also helped us to be more responsible and it
educated us abortion.
